wimbledon99 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hi, I've decided to have a go at my first group build. Not sure how much time I'm going have over the new few months so I'm keeping it small and simple with the above kit. May opt for some extras if time permits but my entry is primarily just to be part of the fun Kit is in the post so pictures to follow.

Mottlemaster Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Good idea to keep it manageble as feeling pressured through lack of time can spoil things and of course if you finish the DUKW quickly there may be time to squeeze another build in. Anyway i hope you get lots of fun out of it Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Looking forward to seeing the progress on this. I shall be interested to see your etch from Eduard when it arrives. I'm fairly new to the idea of using additional stuff like PE - always just built the plastic in the box up until now - although I suppose it's cheating because my Eduard Spitfire comes with the extras in the box as well!

Sgt.Squarehead Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Munching! Are you replacing the wheels? How are you doing for references? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Munching! Are you replacing the wheels? How are you doing for references? Hi, Nope, not replacing the wheels. I read an article that states the ones in the box are as good as the resin ones. They'll also be mainly hidden from view when complete. As for references? By the Power of Google…………….!!

wimbledon99 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Have to love etched parts! The detail is amazing. Couldn't resist fitting the first few tonight Here's one for an idea of scale Edited July 2, 2014 by wimbledon99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Have new phone so thought I'd take a picture and see what it's like. More faffing involved that the etch!! Anyhow, here's the latest. Work getting in the way of decent building sessions Edited July 12, 2014 by wimbledon99 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 That is looking great! The etched stuff really adds another dimension to the kit - it is a shame it's difficult to work with at times! Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks PlaStix. This would have been a weekend build if it wasn't for the etch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) I have to admit that from this point on, I bow to those that work with 1/72 etch on a daily basis!! Edited August 19, 2014 by wimbledon99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
