AFV Club 1/35 M16 MGMC, The Mighty Meat Chopper


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys.

Not been around much, as RL has kept me busy.

Anyway, when this build was proposed, the meat chopper was set for release, so was purchased, and has sat in my stash since then.

As one of, in my mine, the most iconic WW2 vehicles, It just had to be built.

Box contents, much plastic, and some interesting single piece Rubber band tracks (no joint).

Looks to be very thinly moulded plastic.

 

The Start.

Step 1 is a transfer box type thing.

26 parts, and 2 bits of Photo etch gives you:

Its sitting on a jar of Dissolved putty to give a Idea of size.

Linkage detail is lovely, although will be totally hidden.

 

Step 2 is the Chassis which is together but no pics until it fully sets up.

Step 3 is Engine which I'll be working on today.

Cheers Guys.

Anyone know a good source of .50 cal brass barrels?

Can find many in 1/32, but 1/35 seems a lot more limited.

Try Aber, or if you can find a stockist, RB Models.

Ended the barrel hunt, could not find the style I needed.

So instead got 4 Eduard Brassin Resin M2's. They will need very slight modification to remove the rear handles, but look a lot crisper.
