Hello all,
this is my first post here apart from my introduction in the new member-thread.
I want to show you the progress of my current project. Initially started the kit about three years ago, but the project got stalled and forgotten. Recently I discovered it again and heaved it up to my workbench.
The kit is an easy and straightforward build with a good fit of the parts. I was only disappointed by massive spruegates in some places, but otherwise there were no big problems at all. I build the tractor straight out of the box. It will get the color scheme that is depicted on the box.
Most of the main components were already done, I only had to do the interior of the cabin, attach some small parts and the windows. Unfortunately I did not take pics during the initial building steps. The chassis was already sprayed in matte black. After finishing the interior and attaching the small parts and the windows I masked the windows with the enclosed adhesive masks and sprayed the components with light blue. (Gunze H 417 - RLM 76) This is the current status:
This is how it looks like when all the components are stuck together:
The next steps will be:
- mask off the light blue areas
- spray russian green all over
- peel off the masks and paint the black outlines by hand
I hope that this will work out fine. I'll keep you in touch, if you are interested.
Any critcs and suggestions are welcome!
Have a nice day
Nick
