The model is rather expensive and I've been waited perfect quality. The quality of the details is perfect indeed, but there are several mistakes in this model,some of them are critical (maybe only for me). I am trying to fix them and do some corrections ay the moment.
So let's start.
I've started with boggies. They are good and correct. So we should just assemble them.
Boggies on a model.
Drive spocket and idler wheel are correct too.
Than I decided to glue parts of the hull. Almost all interior details in kit are useless,so you may not to glue them if all hatches will be closed.
After gluing I saw a first problem. Dragon decided to do a welds instead of us. Not bad,but why all those welds are situated in places where 2 or more parts of the hull should be glued with each other!? Even little amount of model glue melt those welds. So the main problem is a weld restoration with Tamiya Epoxy.
After removing from the sprue we will have the same problem with the exhaust.
On the rear the blades were too thick. I have grinded off them.
The machine guns in this kit are very beautiful,but they are not correct. Finemolds do right machine guns. I don't have any Finemolds kit,so I can't solve this problem. I have just filled the slit on machine gun jacket.
I have added a weld around machine gun mask.
To be continued.
