Simon's AEC Militant mkI GS truck. Asam models 1/48

[simontie]

Hi I thought i had posted this but for whatever reason i can’t locate it!!!!
anyway
boxed model

the parts out of the box


ok there seems to be a lot of lead parts in here and a mass of paperwork around 12 pages some both sides yippee & no assembly instructions


ok looks like fun seems to be plenty of it anyway, i have a bike to finish off first then were away for a week so once i return i will make a start and try and end up with something resembling my brother’s one


Its unlikely but i promise to give it my best shot
thanks for looking

There were two suggestion threads if I remember. The first went off piste a bit and was replaced. Maybe that's it?

Correct Andy. I think the original post was in the thread that got scrapped.

I’m in looks interesting I’ve wanted a few of Allen’s models but there just a little too pricey for me.

 

[Jim R]

That's rather unusual Simon. We don't see white metal vehicle kits built very often. It will be interesting to see this built.

Good luck with this one Simon

I'm joining the rabble. Unusual subject and an interesting kit.

Most interesting, and out-of-the-'norm' in 1/48!

That's a lot of parts Simon. Are there any specific issues cleaning up white metal parts.

 

[scottie3158]

The best of British to you.

Not aware of any but i will keep my mask on and work through them with files and knifes dremel if required but its the small items that seem to be the worst i cant see any real problems iv worked with metal all my life holding them might be the only problem

Plenty of wee bits to keep you busy Simon, should build into a nice model.
