I think that there is a lot of interest in this one.
Here are the Kit Instructions & Sprue.

Donald

No, completely NOT interested in the instructions and sprues.
These I got at home.
The build, however: VERY interested!

The only place that I know that has it is Lucky Models .
Pacific Coast had it , but it's all sold out now.
They are suppose to get some more.
Lucky Models had it cheaper even with the shipping added in .
Donald

I just checked , Price wise
Pacific Coast wants $64.95 plus Shipping App. $15 -$17
Lucky Models wants $61.18 Shipping included.

I have started the build ,my first impression I get is (Man This Is Really Going To Be A Bear).
The fit so far is really BAD.
But hey this is the only one of these so far so I'll have to make do.

I started with the Gun Barrels & Gun Cradles.



I am doing both Left & Right Barrels at the same time that way I can get the fitting & filling out of the way and not have to repeat myself.


parts D22 & C37 have a large gap in them, just hold them to the Gun cradle when installing the Gun Barrel.

please go on with the build and for those interested many are on ebay dirt cheap or cheaper than here in north America which it seems you need to go to a bank for a loan just to get a kit anymore...

such a unique subject

O I'll be finishing this Bear all right it's just going to take a lot more work than I thought. To bad MENG didn't do it.

You will have to do a lot of trimming on the Breach ends as shown below . They should fit flush.


The Breach tops D7 & C14 will need the end tabs on their bottoms trimmed off so they fit flush.

This is how they should fit.


I had to do a little adjusting above , I forgot to up load some Pics.





Well this is as far as I have gone so far , I'm sure RB MODELS will eventually come out with some Metal Gun Barrels. I just cant see adding another $30 to $40 to this kit.
Donald

A potentially inexpensive alternative (if you're willing to accept surface (sea) shipping) is a $2 shipping offer from luckymodels for purchases over US$120 (I think this offer is good until 8/16/15). Their cost for the kit is $46. Add on some other items -- wait a few months -- and the kit will arrive at your doorstep.

Now, that's what I call a great start.
Keep it up.

Cheers,
Peter

I have some more finished.




I pre assembled the Shell Loading Trays.


I don't know how accurate they are, & they have push pin marks that have to be filled.

Donald: May I ask a favor? Please let this thread lapse and start a new one with your ongoing build pictures. The hosting server you use for your pics and their quantity -- make this thread enormously slow to load.

Yes Microsoft is not known to be the most dynamic,,,
but I really appreciate all the detailed photos,!!!!

I save them and your writings,

so when ever I get around to building the same....

I have your great information/references.

Thanks

Yes, I don't think OneDrive was really set up to act as a photo-hosting site.

Probably not, but they want you to put all your stuff there with their Windows 10 . I don't think so. If they cant handle some pictures why would any one put anything of value there.
I tried that Photo Bucket business before , all they did was pass my E mail address around . Now I get all kinds of strange E mails from dating sites , breast enlargement , & other strange critters.

In regard to splitting up this thread , I don't see where it will do much good. I tried this with my 1/16th King Tiger build. All it did was confuse people when they couldn't find everything.

Donald

Glue the inner mounts for the equalizers first.

You can install the cylinder next and then the outer mount.

or you can install both mounts, and spread them while the glue is soft and slip the cylinder in between them . that is what I did.

Here is what it looks like finished. Repeat for the other 3 mounts and cylinders.

There is an ugly seam that is visible in the bottom of the Gun Cradle , I covered it with some paper thin plastic .



The assembled Guns ready for mounting.



I'll be working on the mount next.
Donald

I tried posting the pics. from the albums I have on the One Drive , all it will let me do is post a link to them.
I don't really like that.
Donald

This Pic. should be self explanatory .

This is an easier way to do it , or you could do it like in the instructions.


The Left Gun partially installed , just needs the end panel .

The left Gun Installed , you will notice that I left all the small parts off the End Panel . That's a lot less small pieces to get broken off.

Now do the same thing for the Right Side Gun.




That's all for now .
Donald
