Andy Moore Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 LUM-168 Camel Luna Tactical Reconnaissance Machine Hasegawa 1/20 This was my first and, as yet, only Maschinen Krieger kit, built back in March for an Airfix Model World article, but never published. A very nice kit but a right pain to build as it's so big and the articulated legs can't really hold it's weight. I'm not that happy with the splinter camo scheme as it's a bit too dark. It went through two earlier schemes and was stripped back to plastic both times as I couldn't decide what direction to go with it. All in all, I was glad to get it done and off the bench. The cockpit detail is effectively obscured when it's in place so here's a few shots from the build Thanks for looking Andy 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Love that. Excellent paint. I'm a long term Ma.K fan & have one of these in the stash. Trouble is my painting skills aren't a patch on yours, so it may stay in the stash! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Love that. Excellent paint. I'm a long term Ma.K fan & have one of these in the stash. Trouble is my painting skills aren't a patch on yours, so it may stay in the stash! Thanks Pete. I'd been wanting to build one for ages but they were always a bit too expensive. I'm glad I got the chance to do this one and I hope to do some more in the future, maybe the Falke next. You should definitely have a crack at yours mate, there aren't that many Ma.K. builds on Britmodeller and it would be nice to see some more. Wow that is cool I'm going to see if I can find one thanks for sharing Great paint job Thanks Alan. You can get them from Hobbylink Japan, although they'll probably incur duty charges. There aren't that many UK retailers that carry them but Japan Cool have some. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thanks, Andy. I have a few in the stack but have a lot of fun just scratchbuilding Ma.k. I have a fair amount of spare parts and oddments to use up in this way. There are/were a couple of my builds on Britmodeller. Here's one... http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234964534-more-kreiger-the-sternail/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jampton Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Simply stunning, the paint job is exceptional and to think you stripped it back twice! You have the patience of a saint. Excuse me for my ignorance but how high does it stand? Regards John Edited November 9, 2015 by Hugh Jampton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks guys Simply stunning, the paint job is exceptional and to think you stripped it back twice! You have the patience of a saint.Excuse me for my ignorance but how high does it stand?RegardsJohn Thanks John. As it is here, it stands about 7 inches high (and about 8 long). The legs are articulated, and at full extension I'd say it would be about 10-12 inches, but you'd need to glue them or it'll sag down to this hight as the joints aren't that strong Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 That`s stunning. Been looking for one of these since it was first released. Will have to try harder. Got the Falke and Stingray when Hannants were selling them off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme H Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Being mostly an aircraft modeller, and seeing the title mention Hasegawa and Camel, I thought it was the big Hasegawa Sopwith Camel, but I think that is 1/16th. I was truly gobsmacked to see this, a form of modelling I never knew existed, and what a beauty, thank you so much for enlightening me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) This is awesome. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.  im very new to modelling in general but have really fallen in love with Ma.K. It’s brilliant seeing such great peices posted. Edited October 19, 2023 by MrB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 4 hours ago, MrB said: fallen in love with Ma.K. There was one of these at the Lincoln model show on Sunday going for 120 pounds! I had a good offer for mine years ago and sold it. I also scratch built something similar. Good fun. Ma k is one of my favourites, but is very expensive now. I had a look on the big river site earlier. Not just expensive, prices are ludicrous. They even offer monthly terms on some!

Uncle Monty Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I really like this, it reminds me of many happy hours spent playing Mechwarrior 2, 3 and 4. And the quality of your build is excellent, nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
