I am surprised that the wheel loader comes with a PE cab and no clear windows, not even wire mesh.


If you check out the kit sprues, you can see that everything is included for a "normal" cab ( the cab doors parts are on the lower left sprue) Clear parts are included as well (on the lower right sprue) :



I guess the pictured grey model is a kind of master, maybe a (partially) 3D printed one, judging by the visible layers on some parts...



EDIT : looks like Jon has beaten me to it

H.P.


Yes, I see the clear windows now. Thanks for the correction.

Live-Resin makes swing-arm and pole machine gun and grenade launcher mounts so in theory it should be possible to arm this HobbyBoss FAV, or at least in a Sci-Fi and Post-Apocalyptic approach.

One can mount the machine gun on the roof and have the gunner step on the engine cover plate to fire it.

What is going on here, anyone in for some 1/6 scale armour?










I do I do, but as that is metal, bet I could buy a New low end car for the price of it.
There is a few in the UK that do some great 1/6 scale metal kits, but be prepared for Sticker shock. My friend in the UK used to do them back years ago until he lost interest in drilling tracks out all hours of the night.

Is that a 1/6th King Tiger in the advertising behind the kits??


If you are looking for one try the ArmorTek forum in the UK , as all sold out, a quality product.


Cheers
