Alan Crossley Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Ni Nick, just about to start on this kit myself so hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions ( if they sound simple then it's because I'm quite new at this hobby). Which Halfords primer did you use and where did you get the wheel mask from looks very useful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Crossley Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi Nick, brilliant build just starting one these myself. As a beginner which Halfords primer did you use, where did you get the wheel mask from and finally you mention adjusting the axles for ride height where did you get the info from as it is not mentioned in the provided instruction booklet.

Hi Alan, thanks for the comments, it's a nice kit, hope you enjoy; Halfords primer is the grey, matt automotive; Wheel mask came from BNA model word - Australian but got here fine. They're showing out o stock at the mo. Send me a PM if you want me to lend you mine. The lowering of the wheels came from a WIP on here but I've seen it mentioned in several other blogs and it 'looks' right. The crew and vehicles are finished; Helmet straps painted; Test fit in the turret - I filled the goggles with clear acrylic in several layers as it shrinks. Unfortunately this left bubbles but a dark oil wash sorted this in the end; And hull And the two together; Cheers Nick 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Nice. There is a screen/window with the kit which I believe can be fitted on the front of the driver's hatch so he has some dust protection. That could be a interesting option with your combination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widow 65 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Fantastic combo. I ve just finished the same Warrior, but i opted for the early European camouflage version, you cant beat the old days of BAOR!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Kris. I thought about the screen but I want it to be more an early war scene, 'advance to contact, with the map out' so the driver needs to be ready to close up (also I want to move on to the next ship 😉 ).

Thanks Widow - I've got a Chieftain and 432 to do in a while in the black and green - it does look cool!! Have you got any picks of your Warrior?

Nick C Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Base finally done, surround is picture framing wood with an MDF in fill and the ground is fine sand mixed with household filler and wood glue (thanks Bullbasket for the explanation of your IDF Sherman); Test fit; Base to paint and weather and that's it for here - finished job on RFI. Thanks for all the likes and comments. Cheers Nick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
