1/35 Meng Toon tank KV 2

[JR]

Afternoon again.
Recently Pete Low sent me this fine model as a birthday present, so have decided it need to be build and put on show.

I give you the



What a joy to build ! no flash, just a few seem lines to clean up .



Instruction that are clear.





The moulding are clean , all the holes bar one are perfect and with that little clean up every thing fits.


In fact I made more mess sanding the seam line off


Ok plenty of glue, but this was the front ,look how its designed, 4 separate slots for the lugs to fit into , no single seam to attempt a glue line.






Gun as of last night, bit of a clean up needed here, but again a perfect match.

Pete kindly has told me about roughing up the tracks, and the 4 pins that are the attachment points for the upper hull can be reduced. This will be good as I want to paint the track off the kit and fir them after the whole body is painted.

SEATS AVAILABLE.

I like these little toons, have built two so far, a Tiger 1 then a Panzer three, all goes together well and it's great to paint, have another two to do sometime, a T-34 you might like and a Sherman. Bring on the toons.

Hi Mick, welcome.Have you done one and I've missed it ? .

You're full of surprises John. Enjoy.

Ha, just the thrill of building Peter. This is such a good kit.
Makes my cross though, when we are sold so much crap full of mistakes , when it's quite obvious it can be done .

Hi John one very small point I'm no expert on Toon but there scale is 1/43 so your title is wrong.
Sorry Pete.

 

[scottie3158]

John,
Count me in for this.

 

[Bortig the Viking]

I'm sure I've read somewhere that they were 1/35 scale but if you look up the Meng website its say 1/egg, I leave to you to decide.

Hi Mark if you say there 1/35 they probably are then ,sorry for any confusion haven't built any of them???
Got it from the world of toon forum.
Pete.

 

[Bortig the Viking]

No worries, wasnt digging, I think we'll call it egg scale.

I do love these toon tanks. A little bit of fun in a hobby that can very occasionally get a bit too serious in some quarters.

Ps. Don't tell the Rivet Counters Guild of Assassins I said that!

 

[Deleted member 7237]

Hi John I think your be ok with your build there's people watching that know more about toons than I do but if I do I'll PM you.

Hey Pete, If JR gets into trouble just send over a couple of Minions and they will set him straight in no time! JR, I looked at the box art and labeling, it didn't show a skill level...are you comfortable with this?
Cheers and have fun! Rick H.

John,
I am saying nothing sarcastic or suppoedly funny, unlike the other commenters above - that's because they have said it all .
But will sit in on the build.

I seem to remember someone had a Toon Sherman in their stash not on the go.

That was donated to a very young man that made a far better job of it than I ever could and he was only 5.....

That might have been the case but you still had a Toon in your stash. Yes or No.
The Toon high council has come to a decision.

Guilty as charged.
