Hi all,
I started building Paladin with engine (new from my production). Here are a few photos of the building.

That looks great Miloslav and really makes the most of all of the panels that AFV Club made separate.

Very nice. Much better than the old CMK engine.

wow, that is really impressive! What did you think of the stick-on no-slip panels? I found the ones in my kit to be too smooth, so I ended up spraying the sheet with Mr. Surfacer before putting them on the kit

Very nice, Miloslav.
Unfortunately no interior yet. It doesn't even have a floor to cover the torsion bars. I have been working on getting one, which is why mine is stalled. Time to start work on the M109A2 kit with
Legend's Doher conversion.

I still donť use this anti-slip but I think that this is good idea.

Woo! That's a heap of stowage - future item? I got my Paladin last week - looks like a great kit. Will be ordering an engine soon. Nice job!
Edit - should have looked at Facebook first!
