Oooo, Ron..... the 'D' word, scary stuff..... I keep shying away from the diorama but it has to happen some day and this may be it lol
Ian, it is a fit issues combined with the odd shape made up of even odder shaped panels and trying to line them up.
Kind words folks, nothing like a bit of pressure eh :laughing:
Anyway, had a good look at the kit and if I can grow at least another six arms and hands, it will be a doddle. Getting these panels together to create the characteristic shape of this little vehicle is going to be a bit of a problem, no locating pegs or lugs or anything, just butt joints on the lozenge shape, going to need some care to get the shape right.
Other thing is that the box is full of carpet monster food. Loads of little pieces some of which are bound to disappear with that little 'ping' we all know and love.
Just a bit of work done tonight between other things but I do think it will come together nicely.
The chair with the 'basket weave' seat is designed to swivel to access the radio rig behind it. None of this is glued in until I spray it all up and then take the radio rig out for painting and the PE guard frame that fits over the front. Yet another kit where I will be constantly building, painting, building, painting. but I believe it will be worth it, the detail looks really nice.
Am I right in thinking this would be painted in Bronze Green or was that post war?
