Hi guy’s,
I’ve got Trumpeter’s SA-6 2 day’s ago and started strait away.
(I really had to sneak this one past SWMBO)
Here is a photo of how far I got.
There where a few problems but no big things.
I’m still waiting on the Modelkasten track’s (some hate them but I like them).
Sorry for the bad photo I’ll make some new ones when I get time ( And I’ll also make a list of what I found to be a problem)



I’ll keep you posted

nice build dude,there are really some problems with this kit i agree,.was a tuff build still working on mine.why did you go for AM tracks,i think the tracks are great. and they look good.
pic of mine so far.

A litlle pit of info.
I added wiring to the lights,
When assembling the launch pad don’t glue parts C61 but mushroom the ends inside part D6
The length of the duct on the back of the launch pad was reduced to 15 instead of 20 mm
I used http://www.militaryvehicles.cz/ for reference,
There where two sets walk-around’s

When assembling the missile rack’s (step 14) you should let the glue dissolve the plastic before putting the part’s together so that you don’t get a big gape.
Parts : C2 C3 C13 C14 need filling on the back side.

I like them and I want to put it on uneven ground
How did you fill the gap in the missile's ??

aah,that is a good reason for the tracks i still have to fill the gaps,the missiles are standing loose on the platform,i think i will use putty and then sand them down.if there are any other options please let me know

I used (experimented) gleu.
I the needle aplicator to poor the glue in the gape and very quickly whiped of the exces.
Didn't fill it completly but it was better then befor.
Going to try putty to.

ok ,thanks for the info and the reference links

looks great...can't wait to start on mine!!

BTW: Wings and Wheels publications will be releasing a detail volume of the SA-6 in January!
So, i'm sure it will come in handy for those interested in superdetailing...
