Arniec Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Whoa, You are brave in building this kit. I builded the reincarnation from Dragon about ten years ago. It is not easy, specially the sink holes in the weels and running gear. (from what I can remember.) Don't forget to give the spues a decent wash to get rid of all the grease on them. Good luck with your build. I will be watching this one. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Definately a brave choice of builds, many moons ago I built two of those and it was a pretty challenging experience. Cheers Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sirree, I just pick them at a show or eBay, start them on here and wait for the looks of horror. I think I've broken about half a dozen parts getting them off the sprues so the fun has already commenced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Sounds as if you've got a job of work there on this kit. Hope it goes together smoother than anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 If I remember rightly I used Accurate Armour tracks on mine, Trakpax I think they were called, resin ones that you bend with hot water or a hair drier. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avereda Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 I had a bit of spare modelling time this afternoon so I thought I'd chuck it at the Valentine. My approach to this one has been to remove the necessary parts from the sprue and bag them up in the same numbered sequence as the instructions. I've been sanding and cleaning some if the parts when the mood has taken me but today I finally completed step 1. Steps 2&3 to follow, hopefully before I shoot off to Orkney on holiday.

Avereda Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 This particular effort is wheezing to a slow GB death. Too much to take on I think (over committing elsewhere hasn't helped to be honest), this definitely won't make the gallery. I'll try and finish in slow (even slower) time. This is where I'm at: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I wasn't warned, it's definitely hard going this one. Here's the final shot before the GB ends, which isn't much further on than the last shot if I'm honest. If I have this finished by this next year I'll be a happy man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
