Andy
You're off to a great start with this kit and all the additions. This looks like it could be real biggie. Looking forward to see this one develop.

Hi All 1st light coat of dirty yellow applied to the lower hull and all the etch now finished on this section, the kits is built in 3 phases lower hull , upper hull and mortar, so onwards with the wheels I might try the tracks included in the kit as there cast plastic sections/single's just to see how they turn out' I can always replace en with friul's if they don't come upto scratch. regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

A bit more progress on the build, the wheel mask's I got in the etch set were for the Morser Karl and totally the wrong size so I had to spray and hand paint the wheels, all that needed to be done on the hull base is the adding of the painted tools and tracks. I have started the top hull section and gun base and have been preparing area's for the etch. I have already discovered one of the under floor plates is the wrong size and will have to see what I can do with it. As usual all comments and questions are welcome regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Nem Thanks for looking in, yh the mask's were a disappointment too big for the small rollers and too small for the larger wheels, still they will come in handy for something im sure regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Moriaty and tf64 thanks for looking in and your comments , as for the road wheels I think your right the instructions for painting are vague at the most so I automatically painted them black but after you mentioned it I had another look and the upper rollers have a rubber coating and the roady's are steel so I am putting a coat of metallic grey on em regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All A little more progress, I decided to see how the tracks supplied with the kit would look so iv put them together and managed to get a bit of sag in them aswell where I thought it should be. More soon regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

The kit tracks look ok, and the sag is about right too. are you building it in firing mode? Excellent work as always Andy.
