Sorry 'bout the wheels, Paul. That sucks. Anyway, build is coming along nicely. Hard to imagine 8 wheel steering.

Okay chaps I got back to this one today, and I must say that now the Bronco shyte is coming through . i had similar problems with the Humber MkII armoured car, so now, for me there is doubt about the producer of this kit . I'll save you the description of what doesn't fit, I'll just show the instructions with my corrections.  Drill to 1.5mm diameter   If you follow this, you'll end up with something like this   If you don't follow those tips the whole recoil guard will not fit to the inner mantlet, also the gun will not fit into the body mount  . Will be back soon chaps |

Chaps, today I got the interior primed . I even used the dreaded Vallejo surface primer  , to this I added a few drops of Vallejo flow improver and thinner. It was then sprayed at at about 30 psi, I had to keep moving back and fourth to prevent any pooling but I can say it went down very well . Maybe it had something to do with the new chair .   I have also started to sort out some dudes to accompany this beast . These are all from Mk35 and I still have the Hobby Fan crew of two to use if I decide to  .  Maybe I can some interior colour on tomorrow and even a tad chipping too  . |
