likewise, Olivier

Jay

changed my mind, still use the Ogpk original parts, because I don't have time to build the PE turret.

I Really hope kinetic will update their Ogpk Turret for their Rg 31 Mk5, I remember somebody here has measured the OGPK.

here are a few things,
1 windows- oversized and not on the right position.
2. right side mirror-wrong location.
3. turret hatch cover-wrong size.
4 3 devices under the turret are missing.

Here is the Real Ogpk Walk arounds Link

Good to see it's not dead in the water Jay. Love the detail added around the open hatches

Hi Jay!

I need to ask: All antenae cables run to the rear part of the roof?

Even those one in front of the cabin?

Great build so far!

Thanks!

Thanks Sean, trying to get it off my desk. Are you working on any models?

Hi, Marco

Thanks!

X wing, camera, the light, BFT and GPS antenna cables go to the front panel under the OGPK. Radio antenna cables(left and right) either go into the Maxxpro or go to the panel.

On the back, all Duke and radio antenna cables go into the box. Also there is a cable that is near the first right side lift hook goes into the box.

Thanks a lot Jay, those pics are fantastic!

I asked you just because that cable that runs along the right side of the roof. I couldn't see the initial point, it's hidden by the mirror of the OGPK.

Cheers!

Hi, Marco


No Problem.

By the way, I still think Kinetic did a good job on this model, But please please, Fix the OGPK for the next model.

Thats perfect Jay, thanks a lot about the pics AND your patience.

I really second you about the kit. The OGPK IS poor, as the guns.

Cheers!

Great looking details, Jay!

How did you do those copper likes on the chassis? Do you have an easy way to wrap the copper wire? I've done it before, but for very short lengths

Thanks Sean and Hisham.

HI, Hisham

I just wrap the copper wire(0.1 or 0.2mm) around the Brass(0.3mm), push the wire together then push that out. By
the way how is your cougar?

Jay, great build so far. I like all added elements. I can see, that the kit itself is quite poor (Kinetic's details are far away from - for example - Bronco's), but with all resin, PE and scratch added it'll be very decent model for sure

The Cougar is still sitting there on the shelf.. every time I sit at the desk, it keeps staring at me.. taunting me to start working on it again.. I guess I will get back to it one of these days.. I mean, as much as I'd like to, I'm not going to throw it away
