Thanks guys
Sorry that the post was a bit short I didn't have much time on the PC so I had to make it short.
As far as the build goes I did have one or two problems.The instructions have you install the track guards (fenders) after all the tools are glued to the fenders,then install the upper hull segments. I found that after doing the right side that too many of the delicate parts can get damaged or broken,unless you have three hands. The jack broke off while I was trying to test fit the parts.The left side I glued the fender on without any tools,then installed the tools when the fender and upper hull sections were glued on.This is how I normally do this step,don't ask me why I went by the instructions this time.
Another problem are the rear flaps that are seperate items with the option of using PE.The problem is that the flaps glue on ot the horizontal hinge on the fender and there is not enough surface area on the flaps hinges for the glue to stick to.Mine kept coming off so i only left one on.
There are 12 fuel/water cans with this 3in1 kit.There are also PE parts for these cans included in the kit. The only thing is that they don't fit the cans supplied in this kit. These PE parts are supposed to be sandwitched between the 2 fuel can halves but they are too big.
I used Paperclay for the sandbags. I usally use modelling clay for sandbags, but thought I would try this product out. It works pretty good and only cost about $5 at the local craft store.
The main paint color desert is on and sealed.The decals are also on but there are no pics at this time. I've also started the weathering phase.
I'll try to post new pics this evening.
