Here she is just about ready for paint. Still have a few odds and ends to do. It's mostly OOB although I'd like to add hydraulic lines, cooling pipes, etc. Anyone have any references?

DML instructions assume a lot so some parts might be in the wrong place or installed in the wrong way.

I'm still cleaning the guns hence they're not here yet. Besides the whole gun assembly is just dry-fitted into place.

I love what I see so far Any problems with the kit? I take it the track assembly and sprockets aren't permanetly mounted on yet for ease of painting?

I knee I knee (++)

No big problems with the kit Chadus. Parts placement is vague in some places though. There are some gaps here and there. Some parts are oversimplified. It needs just a little more TLC than most but in the end it's all worth it.

As per my DML track building style I use white glue to secure the sprockets, idlers and drive wheels to the chassis. After building the track around the wheels and letting the whole thing cure for a day I gently pry out the whole shebang. That way I can still paint the tyres without any problems.

Looking good.. cant wait to see it wearing a coat (of paint that is).

PS... though its on the side, thank you for explaining the track assembly... always wanted to try it but never thought of using white glue.. always though of using somthing tacky like a tad bit of clay etc... this helps ME out a great deal.


Once again-niceeeeeeeeely.
