ivan-o Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Ok here we go then,both sides are the same. This is stage 1&2 done and the only thing to comment on is the resin on the wishbones is a bit brittle! progress will not be to rapid so bear with me please 😀 Edited October 25, 2019 by ivan-o 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan-o Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 As this obviously is all resin it will need primed I am toying with going with a black primer to use as a preshade coat. Good idea or should I stick with grey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea or should I stick with grey? I've found black to work really well. Allows for a slightly lighter coverage of the green without worrying about going into all the corners and recesses, giving good depth and shadow effect. (Imo) Great subject btw! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too for the same reason. I use Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black, not sure how it adheres to resin though. Roger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I'll be interested just to see how an AA kit goes together as I've always fancied one of their Bedford RL's. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Interesting project I'll follow along as well if you don't mind Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jan Scholte v. Mast Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Well I go with John. Fascinated by the Accurate Armor offerings, but never had the chance to lay my hands on one yet. Will follow along with great interest.

I will go with the black primer,I think the fun will come in the cab as there are lots of little bits the carpet monster will love. More over the weekend,thanks Ivan Edited October 26, 2019 by ivan-o 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Nice start ivan-o I have an AA K2 ambulance in the stash so will follow with interest. I'm from Clare but moved to Nottingham 30 years ago, is the Royal Oak still going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan-o Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Hi guys,a bit more progress today. Slow going as all parts have to be cleaned and trimmed to fit. Edited October 26, 2019 by ivan-o 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 One kit I really fancy getting hold of, looks like your typical AA offering, make sure you de grease the resin before paint fella. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan-o Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Cheers Dan it certainly is a kit not to hurry but as you I fancied this kit for years.AA did say only a few left so I took the plunge !😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan-o Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) A bit more done, Torsion bars and rear hubs on. Front and middle hubs and steering gear next. A fairly straightforward build today. The rear torsion bars were to long (cue the knife) but cut down ok! I may have a problem coming with the steering bar pivot! It was fitted to the hull where the markings on the hull said but they fouled the torsion bar,minor surgery needed there,but they might be to high. Won’t know till I start the steering gear.

phildagreek Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Looks good so far, is there a lot of clean up to be done? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan-o Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Hi guys a bit more done today,steering gear and wheels again very fiddly but strangely satisfying when the parts are fitted!

Dads203 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Starting to take shape Ivan, the AA kits are quite fun to pop together they do keep you on your toes and help hone the build skills I must be due an AA build soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Reynaga Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Looking good, Ivan. Getting all those wheels to touch the ground is a challenge on this one! I already like yours a lot better than my own Stalwart built from the AB kit in 1/76th... 😄 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
