LSP_K2 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 In addition, the area around the weld seam I'd added to the hull rear, was terrible, so I've now (I hope), corrected that as well. Back to the paint area for this baby, probably some time very soon. N.H.71, josebagasteiz, Ryan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen_R90S Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Nice fix! I may have missed it, but are the dings and dents around the upper hull intentional or bad mouldings? Judging by the quality of your work I would assume the former? LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just to give the surface a bit of "character". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Getting back on this tonight (I really didn't work on it all that long, 45 minutes or so), I've now started the track run for the other side of the tank. And once again, track flexibility is being maintained. josebagasteiz, mustang1989, Ryan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 You're slowly getting this beast all together Kevin and it's looking good so far. Trying out new to me paints or newly released paints from a different manufacturer than I'm used to dealing with has always been a "dance with the devil" situation for me. It typically means that I've got to get used to how it sprays through my AB and then how it lays down on the surface that I'm spraying. Looks like it has worked in your favor on this build I'm glad that the color is working out well for you. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have well over half of the second set of tracks finished, and will keep plugging away, no matter what. Once I got the MRP to spray properly, it was a cinch, but I'm still very reluctant to use their chocolate brown, so will be using some "modified" Tamiya instead. I also discovered that while it appears to be rock hard, 92% alcohol strips it right off, which was a big surprise. Thanks, Joe. mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 OK now, here's all of the remaining track sections pinned, glued and roughly trimmed. No more track stuff to mess with, Yay! mustang1989, Rockie Yarwood, josebagasteiz and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I can only imagine working with that many of the same kind of parts for that long. Your longevity in patience has certainly paid off ol' buddy. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
