Meng AMX 30 B2

Here is the next shelf filler, a change from my Russian stuff, could not resist this when I was last in the hobby store the owner was un packing a delivery and out this came and home it went, the suspension is workable and apart from some flash this is a pleasure after the T80 U,







Bloody Christmas is already eating into my building time but hopefully not going to slow me down too much.

Another modern and interesting subject...:rolleyes:

Good luck

Hi Steve nice start, looking forward to following this build

 

[steve scan]

So despite the time of year doing its upmost to crush my building time I have managed a few hours today, a little filling and flash to clean up but going together nicely, the rear fuel cans and the exhausts are not secured yet as I will paint them separately











Thanks for looking.

Nice start Steve

So after suffering man flu right through Christmas plus all the other nonsense that is linked to this time of year, I finally managed a few hours building today bliss,





The tow ropes and exhaust silencers grilles,



And now the lovely working track





Thanks for looking.

Hi steve,

Nice progress so far its coming along great. Those tracks are they metal?

Cheers,Ben

 

[steve scan]

Thanks Ben, no they are plastic but Meng have moulded them in a nice colour.

 

[yambam26]

Ah i see well they certainly look good mouldings!

That detail looks exquisite.

 

[steve scan]

Thanks Aaron, it is a very nice kit and great detail.

 

[steve scan]

Some more work tonight, tracks seem a little fragile but careful assembly and it should be fine, they are flexible so far,







Thanks for looking.

 

[steve scan]

Finally finished the tracks, took about a week but not difficult just tedious, any way now I can move forward again





Thanks for looking.

 

[aaron]

Those tracks look excellent bro and that jig looks really handy.

 

[steve scan]

Thanks Aaron the jig was bloody necessary :D

Nice job so far Steve,

nice details on the track never had a Meng model befor but the look highly detailed, need to put that on my wish list.

watching out for the next update.

Cheers Richi

 

[steve scan]

Thanks Richi, you really should try a Meng kit, they are excellent.

 

[steve scan]

Managed to move on a bit tonight, some filling and rubbing down to do but great detail coming all the time, even the rifling in the barrel;







Thanks for looking.

 

[Polux]

You are doing an excellent and clean work there.

Looking very good so far!
