Almost ready for decals. Still have to put the headlights and front signal lights on.
My first resin kit so ignore the mess I made of the tracks.

Looking good, it's nice to see the old Trojan as a kit. What manufacturer is it by? I've never built a resin vehicle, any problems with the construction?

Thanks. It's been a struggle. Learned alot about working with resin parts in the process. The kit is Accurate Armour that I picked up at half price about 3-4 years ago. It had some issues as shown in the pictures below but I've heard that AA is retooling their Trojans and are coming out with one with interior and a mortar carrier with interior. I must have misjudged the ride height because I came up a couple of links short on both sides and the top part of the track towards the front is too close to the hull. Cleanup of the white metal was the worst part of the build but newer AA kits that I have picked up don't have this problem.

Looks real nice there Paul!




Oh my!

Thats a nice looking model, Paul... What kind of weathering did you have in mind?

Mario.

Paul, just as an fyi, Accurate Armor's customer service is very very good. Based on my experience with them If you drop them a note that you are short of links, they'll send you some no charge, (at least they did for me).

I hear you on some of the quality with their stuff, it can be a challenge----keep it up. You have done well here with this build.

Paul,
Nice job. What is in the Turret?

I completely agree. I've bugged Derek several times about this kit and he was always helpful. I was on a roll and was pushing to get the track done. I just had to cut down 2 M113 tracks on each side to fill the gap.

I felt a little guilty asking for parts since I got it for 1/2 price off ML Fleamarket. It does appear to be one of their earlier kits. Even with the troubles on this one, I eventually picked up the Spartan, Stormer, Spartan MCT and the Striker and the contents looks great. And I've been pleased with their conversions.



Paul,

It is a GPMG Peak Engineering Turret which I guess make it a L7A2. Is this the same as the FN MAG?

Thanks again for the FV432 pics you posted.
