This is one of the new kits from Trumpeter:



Brought to me as a present from one of my good friends after a recent trip to Singapore!

Anyway here are some of the cleaned up suspension bits. There are some prominent injector pin marks, but most of them can be hidden towards the inner part of the model. There were also some pretty big mold lines along the roadwheels that needed to be cleaned up.





The bogie assemblies were quite fiddly and took some TLC. The biggest problem was the attachment to the chassis. There were pins to help locate the bogies, but when used everything was skewed all over the place. I removed the pins and did some sanding to try and make things a bit more even.





More problems encountered in my next post.
