LRDG Ford F30 - ThunderModels - 1/35

[Fabrice Simon]

Hi there!

hopopop !! I'm opening a new box for another LRDG subject after finishing the chevy.

 

I bought this at Saumur, where Resicast was presenting its marvels:

 

 

a very pretty resin set which I completed as soon as I got back to Paris with this :

 

 

As I'm working on something really boring at work, every break I get is devoted to modelling, which clears my head of negative thoughts. So there will be tofs soon 

 

see you

Fabrice

 hello!!!

well, this little thunder kit is a pleasure to assemble. There are a few minor inaccuracies in the instructions but nothing that should be criticised. We may regret that the front cabin is made up of a superfluous number of parts which requires a little touchy assembly but hey, this is not a Tam kit.

Here's the update with what I've done so far, two evenings in the workshop with a little time taken to add a few hoses and other cables that will be virtually invisible in the end (but it helps you keep your hand in)

 

 

 

 

 

See you
Fabrice

Do the suspension this time!

 

It's a nice model plenty of detail and lots of scope to build.

It's looking very good Fabrice, especially the detail on the engine. Nice work.

Taking note have the same kit, and you making a fine job of it.

Although with Resicast extras priced at twice the price of what I paid for the kit I'll be giving that a miss unfortunately

It looks like good and very detailed kit.

I agree, but I was shamefully tricked by this boy at the Saumur competition.

 

 

If you come across him at a show, run away an eat your bank card!

Hi !

 

somme updates

 

 

 

 

 

assembly without gluing because I'm going to have to paint some parts separately before final assembly (like the chassis and engine assembly for example).

 

see you

Tremendous work Fabrice, a .very nice and clean build. Fabulous detail, I do like all the bits and pieces that you have in the back of the truck, it will look amazing when painted….

Looks great - I guessed it would build up nice in my review, and I was right.  That's twice this lifetime!

 

Excellent work

 

[Muchmirth]

Looks like a really good kit. Nice paint work to.

Nice work!  The detail on the kit looks crisp and the reskit really adds to it.  Looking good with paint on .....

Hello!

Updated with a coat of gloss varnish and a few details added. For the first time, I've printed homemade decals for the gas cans
