Reply With QuoteI've never seen one of these Andy, so i will keep poping in on this to see it evolve
I'm building the Academy USMC M50A1 Ontos for this one (supplied with perfect timing by John). I've added the Verlinden resin interior so I can have the hatches open (maybe) and the ET Models etch set
I may do a bit of a jungle type mini dio for this and possibly add another vehicle, not sure yet but I'll make it up as I go along as usual
Here's the box/sprue shots etc.
Cheers, Andy

Photos of progress so far
Trying the resin set for size
Main components cut & sanded to size then fixed with superglue
All painted inside
Some washes & pigments added for weathering
Inside just about done, closing the body up, now for the etch

Looking good so far Andy the resin looks realy impresive
The resin is very nicely detailed & fits fairly well, the instructions are typical Verlinden though, a few over-exposed blurry photos. I've probably spent more time searching for reference pictures than building the model so far
Still, on with the build
Spot the massive mistake

Hi Andy is the cuppola back to front ? anyway looking good so far ,but it also reminds me of a space craft type loona craft thingy
No that's not it, the fenders are a**e about f***e, doh I really should have learned to read the instructions by now
Anyhow, I thought there'd be a few more having a go at this SIG, what with all the votes it got

That's it, all the etched stuff is done, just need to sort out the inside-out rivets caused by me fitting the fenders the wrong way round and it'll be ready for some primer
Some interesting masking to do too
