Valerons Mk. A Whippet - Meng 1/35 scale

[Valeron]

My modelling has not been going well of late and I've failed to complete numerous builds. I've had a rest for a few months and will now give this one a go.

I've never made Meng model before. The sprues look nice and clean and this will be my first time with so many track parts.

Wish me luck and hopefully my mojo will return.

Meng kits are generally pretty good (I say that even though I’ve only ever built one of them, and the tracks of another ) and in any case, you can be glad you didn’t buy the old Emhar kit of the Whippet instead …

If you’re in need of photos of the real thing, I’ll plug my old PDF about the Whippet here as well

I've made a small start. The fit so far is good with limited cleanup required.

The top compartment was a little fiddly as parts needed bending and squeezing in. I'll need to make a few adjustments before attaching the compartment to the Hull, but that's for another day.

Looking good.

I built this a few years ago and also found the top section a bit fiddly to line up but thought it was a great kit overall.

It's taking shape. This requires further adjustment but I'm going to let it fully dry first as its very fiddly to hold together.

I'll place a chair here.

Have one in the stash awaiting the inspiration to build it, so will pull up a chair and watch with interest.

I'll just drag in my chaise lounge if okay. Anybody mind if I take off my shoes and socks to get comfortable ?

Looking good so far Mike.

Count me in Mike. Mojo is a funny thing, comes and goes. Good luck with this one.
