Trumpeter Aerosan RF-8/GAZ-98 X2

[tommy1drop]

Hi all, thought I`d pull these two from the stash and get them built, they are the Trumpeter Aerosan RF-8/GAZ-98, I`ve had them for a while now just sitting in the stash, so I thought it would be nice to get them built and displayed on a small setting with lots of snow

Will keep updates on the builds along with some piccies:D

I love these tommy - an aero engined sledge with a machine gun on the front, I mean whats not to like!!! looking forward to seeing the builds, cheers tony

Thanks lads, glad to have you all along

Hi Mike there are figures, but un-fortunately they are all seated, and not as they look on the box art, I think I am going to have to get myself some new figures for the setting I have in mind

Saving them for the group build...

I`ve had them for a while now just sitting in the stash, so I thought it would be nice to get them built and displayed on a small setting with lots of snow

Sledge race!!! Yaaaaaa

 

[dubster72]

I'd like to see those two, whizzing over the snow Tommy, kinda in mid-leap over a snowdrift!

Saving them for the group build...

and what makes you think that? :rolleyes: lol

:P :P :p

 

[tommy1drop]

Nice idea Patrick

Started the build on the first Aerosan, firstly I started the build on the engine, this went together fairly quickly and easily as there is not a lot of parts for this, secondly the main body was assembled again this went together easily as there is only 3 main parts for the body, the fit is well with no issues(yet)

I`ve decided to build it in sections and paint it as I go along, main colour is white with new wood for the interior(I think this is right) :rolleyes: will update as I go along
