Silver Fox Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'm in with this. I'm working away at the moment so no photos but also no progress, so this is just a place saver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yes sir. Getting on with it Sir. Well actually I've just take the before shots and I hope to cut plastic next week. Therese a nice level of parts, their 1/48th scale Staghound was a downsized 1/35 scale kit with far too many fiddly pieces for my tastes. This seems to be a good compromise.

Wolfpack Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It'll give you something to do at Huddersfield. Stop you spending too much as well. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfpack Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 WOT.? No NZ SIG presence? We've got the whole square this year. BTW, the army is ready for action. Practice game sometime soon? W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 The NZ Sig will be there, the Bishop is looking after it. I'll have a look as to when I'm next free for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Well, I've finally started. Not much time today but a little progress. So far one side has its suspension arms on and the sprocket. Not the most exciting photo but at least I am on my way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Good to see this one started. Detail on the kit looks very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yes PlaStix, the detail is excellent, but some of it will be lost when removed due to the heavy sprue gates. The one piece barrel is an excellent example of slide moulding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I couldn't believe it has been nearly a fortnight since I touched this, work and half term seem to have sucked up all my time. Anyway, some more progress.I also bought some Tamiya Russians to go with it as no crew is provided. One of whom is shown.It is a nice kit, a bit over engineered but beautifully moulded and fits well together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Fresh from the paintshop, modulated painting from darkest to lightest, it needs lots of weathering and at least one filter coat but it is progressing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Back home from working away so i managed to get the tracks on and the decals, all four of them in place. Now for the weathering ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
