SeanM Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Just completed! Great kit: fits together very well and good detail for the scale. Dors and side stowage racks are quite easy to leave movable it's so well engineered. Some tips I can give from my experiece with this one: Leave the sand channel off until after painting & decaling. There's a reg-plate decal goes behind it. Do the decals on the dash-board before attaching the front portion to the chassis Paint the tools, on the face of the step up to the gunners platform, while you can still get easy access to them The wheels are a tight fit over the hubs. As I left them off until after painting so I could do the hubs black and the wheel rims sand, they were an even tighter fit....the axels are fragile: be careful! But despite those bits, which are more my fault than anything, I really enjoyed the build and am pleased with the result. Now to get the Jackal! Hope you like it and all comments welcomed Sean
Screech Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 That is quite the feral looking beast! Cheers,
richellis Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 A nice build, this and the Jackal are a couple of kits I must build!
p-26luvr Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 WELL DONE. Does anyone do the Jackal in 1/48th scale ? Carl T
Chris B Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Airfix do one in 1/48 as well as the Coyote.
Dermo245 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Very nice work Sean; looking forward to seeing it up close! Dermot
snapper_city Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Pardon me if im being stupid but in the first pic is the hazard decal upside down???
SeanM Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Oops! I hadn't spotted that...in my defense they are tiny! It's only in photos I can see that detail. I did notice after it was on that it should have been around the base of the antenae mount....
