Gotta say i do like these, big `ol beast ain`t she Yep they certainly are big, not as efficient as a Standard, (Leopard recovery tank), but still they have almost endless torque....  Fun to play with. |

Thanks for tagging along guys. Well, slowly it is progressing. I must say that i'm not happy with the plastic of the kit. I used 3 different glues but none is working in a satisfactory way with it. The mechanism for the boom is also of poor design. So the inner parts were scrapped. The light guards were broken. I don't know if i will make new ones from scratch. Their design is a rather complicated one. (I'm not NEMO!) Other than that, lots of very small parts but no other issues.      free website to upload photos |

Despite yer issues she's looking good fella - what glues have you tried? Call me old fashioned but I only use Humbrol Liquid Poly and Tamiya TET for all my plastic and have yet to find any that they won't stick!

As Dicky said about the oddities . But you seem to be doing a grand job there John . As for glues I use TET and Revell contacta profi, now and again ModelMaster. |

Looks good though, John. Strange about the non-stick issue. What did you finely get to work?
