Villiers de Vos AuthorThis is another specialized vehicle that promises a lot of visual interest. So far, I am impressed by the design and assembly

Paul ShearerI like your organized approach to what could be a confusing set of steps. I have a tendency to plow ahead and miss small things that could mean big problems 🙄😬😂

Villiers de Vos AuthorAssembly continuous. My only complain thus far is that there is no sprue map in the instructions. It is not a show stopper, but would have been nice.

Paul ShearerYa I see the instructions show what looks like the lifting points going on the rear of the upper hull. It's not like Tamiya to make mistakes in the instruction book.

Villiers de Vos AuthorPaul, thank you for your input. Entirely my fault. It will not be an issue if you grue the top of the hull to the lower hull at this stage.

Paul ShearerNo I actually think your placement is correct. I think the instructions picture is misleading

Villiers de Vos AuthorOnly fitting the chains remain and the rollers will be completed.

Villiers de Vos AuthorFor the most, the work on the rollers have been completed. The roller attachments went together without a problem.

Villiers de Vos AuthorThe mine rollers have been completed. I am impressed with the attachment mechanisms design. Starting now on the turret.

Villiers de Vos AuthorA small update. My first attempt at painting a camouflage scheme.

Villiers de Vos AuthorCompleted the camouflage scheme on the lower hull, detail painting and painting the tracks. I am happy with the outcome so far.
Next, marrying the lower hull to the upper hull.

Desert MarlinWell done!!! I appreciate that kind of work! You have made it to the point where the weathering will have a very nice canvas to be applied to! Cheers!!!

Villiers de Vos AuthorThe camo scheme has been applied to the turret and smaller parts were also glued to the turret. On to the mine rollers!
