Heres some progress on my Tamiya famo.
Its a big kit for a 1/35 scale model.i made just one mistake on it
i did not line up the front cab enough when i fixed it to the bottom Structure,so when it came to putting on the bonnet it was slightly out,only by a half mm,doh :-) .apart from that little hickup its gone together like every other Tamiya model just about perfect.
full build artical will come when its complete.
many thanks for looking
cheers karl

Quick work, and looking exceptional so far I must say. Any thoughts yet on what you will be loading it up with?

Looks nice Karl. Don't forget to add some gunk under the fenders!

Karl, I have to admit that I too thought you were showing us pics of a real one for some reason when I first looked at this thread, if the rest is up to this standard it's going to be fantastic! Well done mate!

Yeah, I expexted the caption for the first pic to be:

"And here is an update after 6 months of hard work. The Famo looks great for us having to pull it out of a bog in Poland."

Can't wait to see the final pics. Do you have the trailer as well?

:-)

That is rather large, looks like a fun build though, will there be cargo in the back?

Very well-done, as has been said, the photos look like they where taken from a real vehicle. Such standards one is to aspire too! Great stuff
