After redoing the paint area in the hobby room I got back on this project.

Some of this kit has some very thin parts and a few were snapped in two on the sprue also some of the parts had a lot of flash on them. The one thing AFV Club should really look at is not having the cut off points on location pins. If you don't watch it you will cut them off.

@ron hope all is well!

That halftrack is going to look awesome!

Lots of detail from what I can see!

Any fit issues?

How is it compared to the Dragon kits?

I've been busy as hell with work! 7 days a week 12 hours a day. The money is nice though!

Did manage to get some kits assembled, not painted though. Thats coming hopefully soon! 😀

The plastic in some places is very thin and there has been a few fit issues but I'll make it work in the long run. About the same as a dragon kit with errors in the instructions and broken parts on the spure as the parts can be real thin with large pour connections which causes the thin parts to break.

 

So it's a good test on keeping ones cool while working on it. 100% not Tamiya lol

This kit is turning out to be one big pain in the ass, so putting it aside for a little bit
