Finally the last 2 Pics.





And so ends another long project.
I hope these pics. will be useful to any of you building this kit.
In my opinion this is a really good kit, the only shortcomings that I can think of is using string for the tow rope, I mean, come on MENG BRADED METAL WIRE ISN'T THAT EXPENSIVE.

Well on to the next one,
Happy Modeling to all and have fun doing it.

nice build and a heckuva paint job.

I've got a couple of modern chinese projects stalled needing digi-cam. I guess like the Nike ad, I should just do it.

Share with us how you got the vibrant colors on the optics please.

I used a couple of coats of Tamiya Clear Blue over the clear plastic and then backed them with Bare Metal Foil.
I think that it was the flash from the camera that made the optics stand out more in the pics.

And very much appreciated your note is. alot of very helpful info to go over. I love the different look you gave it, ive toyed with the idea of digicam but could never get past the nightmare of masking it. So major props for your perseverance.

It works fore me here, I hope that I didn't spend all day putting the Pics. into albums and re posting them. That's a real pain in the end.
Is anyone else having trouble with them ?

A few were giving him a hard time for the slow picture load...

He's trying to appease them by posting the albums....

all I get is a login screen...

I think he needs to update the album to "Seen by Everyone"

Sorry it didn't work Mike It was just to make it easier to access the Pics. all at once. They are all here in this build Blog. The resolution is high enough that if you have a touch screen you can blow them up to see more detail.

Hi Donald,

Im building the Meng Terminator. I have problems installing the turrent.

It does not seem to sit flush to the turret mount. It sits higher. How did you manage to get your turret to sit flush to the turrent mount?

Hi, just finished this myself but still working on the base for its dio. Didn't have any issues with the fit myself but did sand the locking tabs and base ring to help it rotate easier.
