How's the build going ade?

I got the paint from Johns shop, applied the interior colour and that's as far as I've got


I'm busy putting the finishing touches to my Da Nang Phantom build right now and hope to make more progress within the week

So I've made a start, will take my time as I'm working from two boxes with the interior


First up the wheels and the active suspension, the suspension is a little fiddly to do but works great and should show the tracks better at the end.


I've put the PE part in shot as I think its a nice little extra Meng have put in the box, not only do you get the wheel mask but also the track pad mask as well.

Now the wheels and suspension are painted and ready for attaching I'll work on the interior.


Thanks

Nice update, very neat work matey

 

[Polux]

Looks very good so far!


And the kits seems to be really detailed :eek:

 

[Weeman0000]

I wish all kits came with those wheel tools, because one size doesn't fit all and it would really help!


I wonder why they dont add one :o


Also its looking nice! Even tho the PE is shorter than it should be it looks more like a piston Gratz!

Looking good nice to see an update..


I think meng are the market leader when it comes to armour knocks spots of dragon for little things like the masks and the tracks...

I think it will look a little less like pistons once I get some paint on them

think i would give the engine a bit of a oil / grime wash ( you may already be doing this later), looking good though
