Very different looking beast Mr K. Nice paint work

Hi, I'm going to begin this campaign with the 1/35 Meng A7V Krupp. It has 758 parts,

Daniel,

What a beast, it looks like it a size of a house. Does it come with a kitchen sink?

Mark

Fantastic choice, Daniel! Looking forward to see one done.

Cracking one, Peter!

Well, here I'm beginig with the A7V,

Seems very tedious, Daniel but has excellent details. Looking forward to more!

More advances on the A7V,

Shaping up nicely!

So much work for so little seen Daniel. Looks good so far though

Thanks Cristian and Peter.

Peter, I'm looking for a way to look the interior

After mistakenly posting on the original 500+ thread, I was directed here, which I hope is the correct thread. Excited to be building my first Meng kit, which looks good.

Welcome Johhar, right address this time. That party has finished,

but this one is still kicking on.


Nice Choice of kit.

Welcome Johhar!

Excellent choice for the kit. I'll be following this with interest!

I'm in with the takom type 69-1/59. Going to build the 69-1 I think. From having a look at the sprue map it looks like there are 622 parts for the 69-1.

Welcome, Conrad! Great choice for the kit.

Johar, a word of caution on this kit. There are 2 long pieces of brass that need to be bent to fit the upper hull on either side of the turret. While it is not difficult to bend these to the proper shape attaching them to the hull is a bit tricky as the attachment points are small. I recommend leaving them off until ready for paint as they are easily snapped off if not careful when handling the hull. You may also want to consider some form of reinforcement to strengthen the attachment. I wound up using strip styrene run along the length. Good luck. Hope it turns out well.

Hi all. I am joining...

I think it is close to 700 parts.

Welcome aboard Conrad and Bogicevic.

Welcome Vladimir!

Thank's guys. Hope I will finish on time...

Hull done, went relatively smoothly apart from some fuel piping that was lost to the carpet monster and I had to scratch build a replacement. Much more straightforward than miniarts t54/55s, which are amazing models but mind bendingly fiddly, I have one on the shelf completed that I'm too intimidated to paint

Conrad,

That is one clean build you have there. I like the detail on the hull.

Mark

That's a supeb build, indeed Conrad!

Some progress pictures from me, too.
