robw_uk Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I will be building the "Green Devil" version of the Polish Rosomak. Not sure if I will stick to the box paint scheme or go NATO green body and sand add-on armour. Also I don't think I will start anytime soon which means the chances of me finishing are pretty slim, but will at least start as part of the GB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 OK Rob, looks like an interesting, if complex kit. Be good to see it start, and hope you can finish it here too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 Been doing some research, will finish this as the one at the top of this page.

Robert Stuart Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 That scheme would make for some interesting contrasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Some boring photos .. box and sprues 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Boring, maybe, necessary, yes. The interesting piccies can follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) A solid start, chassis underway (some intricate cross beams and careful alignment of the suspension struts - glued to suspension arms NOT underside of hull) and then some bits and bobs of transmission etc... Kit comes with an engine but no way to display. I may build but leave out then paint later (may make a display frame for it) Edited November 1, 2022 by robw_uk 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) And this is how the chassis looks at the moment when removed from the lower hull Edited November 2, 2022 by robw_uk 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 That's an unusual and useful way to begin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw it on another build... if you wait until the hull is part built (full interior) I would expect some damage, this made more sense 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 Rear 2 pairs of hubs/axles/transmissions done. These don't turn so easier than the front 2.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 More progress... Chassis finished including minor mod to allow front 4 wheels to be posed turned .... And started on the interior.... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 A good session today sees the interior really progressed.... Think the build of the interior will be done soon, then need to paint 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 Right, all set for first painting. Interior done sufficiently to mean all small items need to be done once painting. So far so good.... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Sorry Rob, just going through your thread so you'll be getting a few alerts. It's a vehicle I didn't really know about by a company I haven't used. It looks really interesting with nice detailing. All the best for the painting stage.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had my eye on this one for a while for the add on armour..... This is the perfect opportunity to build it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Interior painting started.... Water in air show was an issue but hope it is sorted .. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Interior detail .... You can't see any of this once built but practicing skills (need more practice) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Interior a tad fiddly but looks the part when done ... Don't think I will weather it, would mean not more work until next weekend if I did.... Plus you can't see much of it... Thoughts?? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planecrazee Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 You've done an excellent job with the interior @robw_uk - it's the age old 'we know it's there' - even if no-one else can see it so it doesn't matter Some really nice details in the kit - particularly love the detail of the folding seats 👍 Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am thinking I will weather and add a little stowage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
