PS: Now figuring out a time frame for the model to be built so I can finish it by the early deadline but might need the time till August deadline.

Good Luck Bill
i had the same idea but I am short on Vallejo Products and the deadline is too short. i will keep an eye on your build.
Any question of the PAM kit dont hesitate to ask

Got everything all planed out and ready to start just have to open the box and start putting it together. Taking picture's and post the step by step should start either tomorrow or the next day.

I don't have the painting planned yet though and weathering but that I'll decide on the way I build the kit as I go along.

I know I'm going to paint it sand color. Not sure if I want to use regular vallejo paint or there vallejo oil paints to shade and fade the paint and dry brush with either yet but I will use something of vallejo products though for the whole model kit.

I have never worked with resin before so it'll be a new experience for me it looks complex and if you screw up your done and have to buy the set again.I can't figure out how to cut and where the resin part starts and the end begins if you know what I mean.

No big deal with the cabin, you need to take special care when gluing the grill of the front bonnet you need to sand properly the resin part.


Concerning the door do you have any plan ??

I'm going to start and put the parts together as they are in booklet.I am going to make the part and add the booklet picture showing the part made with it.Later tonight or tomorrow with the resin parts fitted in where there suppose to go as instructions from Pro art Model's sheet.

Just want to get a update out on here that I have started putting things together and taking notes and stuff I just am waiting for a photo booth in a box from micro mark to start taking better picture's so there better to see. I ordered it Friday and should have it some time next week hopefully. When I get it I'll post a how lot of progress picture's.

Quick Update got a photo booth and lights and stuff so, I decided to post some updates.From step one.Used Vallejo plastic putty to fade away the seams and it was easy to use and seemed OK,the other brands I used seemed to gritty texture wise, but I always used something that was not even used in this hobby to fill the cracks and fade in's before this a lot but used Testor , Tamiya putties and other brands. and nothing compares to me at least to this stuff. ,to sand and fill in the fade in's.It's like white glue but plastic putty.

I had a short stay in the hospital and a new move to a new apartment set me back a bit but I am unpacking now and setting up my modeling area and should shortly get back into this kit because I really like this kit and want to finish it so as soon as I setup my desk I will post some more up dates.I know I missed the contest deadline but I will still use the paints as planned.Hopefully since it's been a while for the paints I hope there still good to use I spent a lot of money on the paint.
