FrancisGL Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Hi Pals,I have a "new" kit to mount / share with you, this time it is a SPG ITALERI M-109, a very old kit, but I think you can still get a good result.Personally not that I like a lot (not a tank), but as I had saved for 15 years in a closet, I decided to give it a try. I made one much longer the same, although with long gun, but I did not get a good result, so I ended up with, in the case of spare parts.Now with more enthusiasm, more resources and skill, it is time for a second attempt, proving the G version of "short" cannon, which I like for its powerful appearance while compact, and appears to be less seen ...Without further ado, the show starts ... A few pictures to begin with, fellow Greetings. I include a link to the RFI feature with the model checking if someone wants to see it. This kit brings par to 4 versions (long time ago when I did, I think they were just 3 ...), as I said before'll try with the G, short-barreled.To start, I finished all the undercarriage, and I hit the friontal and rear of the hull, which I have smoothed their unión. Thx for looking and comments... Edited December 23, 2016 by FrancisGL Update post 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 UPDATE 2: Hi Pals,Today I joined the top part of the hull to rest, but again, i had to "force" the piece to fit as it should, because I'm seeing, that over time, the plastic is bent / deformed.You can see in the top area of lighter color. I have also mounted sets of parts for the gun, and I'm filing so they are best.Then turn the turret, which is also twisted, (You can see a clearer part in the plastic ). I have put in place to see how it will... Thx for watch and comment, cheers mates 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Update 03: Hi Pals, Photobucket seems to still have problems, since there was DDOS attack and affection do about him, but I could finally do the update, continued with the assembly, a small added, wire coil, it is empty, so, I've put thread fisherman, and is more real.The backhoes are also in place. With the 0.50, I have also done something to improve, drilling the barrel, and mark with the drill ventilation holes. A set of small items, also in place around the model, which makes takes shape. More progress soon, thx for watch and comment. Cheers fellows. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Sometimes, the old kit that you've had for many years, that's sat at the back of the cupboard, can give a lot of pleasure when you do build it, probably because it is old and is not the latest slide mould technology. I've built three of Revell's Crusaders and thoroughly enjoyed doing so. Nice work so far. I look forward to seeing some paint on it.

I would be very grateful. Cheers John I actually bought the tracks for the Centaur at the Nationals at Telford a few years ago, but you can buy them direct from the Fruilmodels site. They are quite good to deal with and the price is reasonable. Alternatively, you can get them from Historex Agents in the UK. I've dealt with them many times and they are fast and efficient (and the exchange rate is good for you at the moment). HTH's.

FrancisGL Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Update 04; Hi Pals, today I finished fit all the pieces in place, and have filing all joints in need.Especially the base of the gun, which are two pieces, and I hesitated, for I have seen models finished very well done, but they had a line in the middle of the junction of the pieces. I tested the tracks and now no problema (for now,fingers crossed), I think we're ready for the primer. Soon (i hope..) Thx for watch and comment, cheers mates 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
