bluriusz Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Hi everyone, Finally finished it. Nice kit, although I was hoping for something better. First of all, wheels included in the kit are really bad. Bad fit, and not really well detailed. Once I started assembling them, two broke. So I found replacements done by Eureka XXL, sagged and really nicely detailed. Also bought a barrel and smoke grenade dischargers. Overall quite fun build if you can ignore tens of mistakes in the instructions. These were probably made by the guy from Dragon. And he must have been drunk.. Anyway, after the struggle during the build, there was a struggle with weathering, which was because this is my first desertised vehicle. But finally I managed to finish this! And these are the photos, let me know what do you think. Thanks! 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 They're working on my phone and it looks great. Really nicely painted and weathered. And weighted wheels, although that extra expense, do add that special touch. Top job. 👏 Love that comment about the Dragon guy too. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 That's a really good model. Excellent work. Just one thing.

Thanks, Usually I use thin guitar string, but just run out so had to use some different material. Those A-A look great though, tempted:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Lovely job. I've got one on my wish list, might have to add the wheels as well! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigster Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 To cut your introduction short - IGB kit is not from Tamiya shelf, ay? 😉 You've done a nice job out of that 👍 Zig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, it is still a very nice kit. Nice details on the hull and the turret, nice interior (which I didn't wanted to make), but overall I think I just overhyped too much, 32 minutes ago, Faraway said: @bluriusz I just started this.

Jon Hmm, be careful with wheels if you are not planning the resin ones, be veeeery careful with the instructions, there are missing parts, wrongly labeled etc. Overall rather nice fit, a bit over complicated chassis. I would like to show you the mistakes in the instructions, but I built it like in June and all notes I made are at the moment make no sense:) Good luck and have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
