"Nasty" AS-90

[Tornado]

Well she's arrived

In my very early modelling days this was my first ever armour build, needless to say it ended up in the bin, now however, older but non the wiser, this will also be a first in many ways,

It'll be the first time I have used any after market accessories to detail my kits

The etch, and AM barrel set up

Usual OOB shots of sprue

A lovely set of tracks if I do say so

So waiting on arrival of etch and barrel so for now I'll just be researching the Nasty.

Im undecided as to weather I'm going for the all over green, green and black or even the desert scheme yet, im slightly favouring the green n black ATM.....cut this could change hourly..

Also toying with the idea of having the rear crew door movable.... And would maybe like the crew graffiti of "NASTY" somewhere, but will see about weathering and stuff like that at the end

More to come as and when

Any comments and reference you guys have will be very greatfully appreciated

Thanks for now

Carefully watch with interest, i also have one of these with all the goodies,ive gone for the Trumpeter individual track route i think building them will take as long as building the kit itself

 

oops sorry its the Bronco tracks!! 3 pieces per link plus the horns

The tracks are nice enough to keep in think. Will save a lot of work too.

But I have heard the bronco tracks are good

Are the Trumpy individual track links an improvement over the kit tracks despite the amount of work involved?

From what I have heard, the track from the kit is good enough to do without upgrading...... This however is only what I have read

Just testing the water with my first ever etch work

Let the games begin.........

i have one of these nearly finished. i have the bronco tracks.very nice but reeeaaalllyyy labour intensive to do. so many parts, so littlr time and not sure if its really worth it. accurate armour do some ammo etc for it if you want something to put inside, and replacement tow cable with resin ends. i am sure someone else does some resin bits for inside the rear door and side door but who i cant remember. little cars do lenses you could use too. i have a few resin convoy lights spare. if you want one pm me and ill give you one, (assuming you are in britain) they are much better than the kit thing.

I know there are many photos of the real thing available but some I have may be of interest. They can be found here...

Thank you David a great help

I like this, I built this when it was first released as I was involved in their base overhauls at that time. Looking forward to seeing this one finished.
