Ok. I'm well into making the running gear of this kit.
1) In retrospect, I would not follow Academy's instruction sequence for
the bogie assemblies. I think it would be better to glue J3 to J9 (step
A), then glue A to J1, then add the wheels and finally J2. My kit has
big seems on the wheels, all the parts J9, and the rear idler
assemblies. The fit is not as good as on DML or Tamiya kits. I
definitely need to clean up a lot of seems and gaps. The detail looks
pretty good.
2) I keep drooling looking at the lower hull because I think it's going
to look great once it's all assembled.
Does anyone else have construction notes?
You can take these comments as praise or criticism, I don't give a rat's
@$$. I just want to konw what others are doing in their buildups, and
how to fix the turret interior to look close once the kit is complete
with figures in place.
