The model is a small wonder, from the point of view of the molding: perfect parts, almost invisible seam lines, very good match, decals to choose between 3 schemes in east and 2 in Africa, etc
On the dark side … too many parts, some veeeery small, as you will see in the photos and some mistakes in the instructions (again
)
The part that is to me tedious in any model is the the wheels, so I took advantage of a february sunny Sunday to cutt and sand them, while the fire take care of the roast, the garlic sausages, blood sausages and "chinchulines" (cows intestins)
First problem: in Step 1 the instructions show that the axis A10 must be introduced in holes that there is not in hull Although they would be, they do not match with those of the pieces A12 and A9. In short, or we make the holes or we cut the axis and we stuck and it on the inside (my choice)
In Step 3, before sticking A14 frontal I dry-fitted the H1 part, to assure its propper position
The lower part of the hull is full of screws, that I used to detail the missing ones in the interior
I jumpi to Steps 15 and 16, to see if really it is justified to mount all the parts of the transmission and brakes, that I suspect will be invisible once the main gun was mounted. The devilish little gun , with its miserable 47 mm of caliber, consists of SIXTY PIECES! Some are very, very fragile, so take care when cutting them of the tree or during sanding
Observe the size of the tiny part F27 (in the pic, over 58 number) ….IT MEASURES 1 mm! To the left, part 42, also very small, are VERY IMPORTANT, along with F 8, 19, 58 and 59, since they will determine the angle of the tube, and can not be left unglued
Tired of handle small parts, I returned to Step 4: the position of the D4 part is not very clear, so, I first mounted the parts of the motor, Step 10, whose pieces will determine the correct angle of the D4
Some parts of the interior
Dry fitting of some parts
That's all for today
Best regards
