Ian M's Famo

[0ne48thtel]

Still plugging away at this one. Mostly an hour here and there...Have a couple of domestic projects that the missus thinks are more important. :/


Here is where I am at the moment.

I cant figure out how or where but some thing is out. The motor compartment hood is almost two millimetre to short. I can only assume that the drivers compartment has been placed to far back. the engine compartment is in the correct place....
Contemplating, dismantling it and trying again!!! Ouch.


HELP: Does anyone have some DAK armored division decals x2 and the DAK emblems x4 that they are not going to use?  

I have just looked at mine Ian and it looks like I misread the destruction's as I have left a bit of a gap. Thinking back I tried to close the gap a little but then decided that down in the gap was supposed to be painted Khaki Doh! Now you have pointed it out as an issue as well I think I may have to change tack and have this one in the barn being worked on. I have a second Famo (without trailer) so will have a go at fettleing that one. all else fails I will stick a bit of rolled netting or tarp over the gap.

I am actually considering having the bonnet off. I have seen a photo or two some with just the sides taken off, others with the whole hood off....I think due to over heating due to the errrrrm heat.


So while I think about that one, I'll have a look at the trailer.....

It looks good so far mate I just looked at the box art again to me it appears there is a gap between the hood and the cab on the 3/4 view and yet on the side view it doesn't.

D'ya know what Terry you are quite right. I just had a look at the box. it would seem there is a form of canvas strip that seals the gap......Now that helps a bit. thanks for that!

No worries mate it's nice when we all help each other.
