Papa 695's PLA ZTD-05 AAAV

[papa 695]

Nearly finished the 1/72 Revell Jaguar so decided to start this. Ron may remember me getting this kit, it was his gentle persuasion that made me get it but it was a bargain

So over to the dark side for a while

I remember this one too Ian , a nice looking bit of kit, but where do the wings fasten on?! Are you going to be buying any clear silicone for this , it would look wicked just charging onto the beach like the box top?!! cheers tony

 

[papa 695]

That's the idea Tony just like the box art so plenty of clear sealant required I've sent a message to Hobby Boss letting them know they forgot to include the wings

 

[yak face]

Great stuff ! cant wait to see the build , cheers tony

 

[Polux]

Yep guys! What's happening with the clear silicone??? Many of us are attempting with it!!

Seriously Ian...very nice, different and fantastic choice!

Don't forget us... remember; pics, pics...

It's silicone month!

 

[papa 695]

Started this not much to show, got all the road wheels, idler wheels and drive sprockets put together and also the lower hull and started putting on some of the PE that comes with this kit

Mmm...this lower hull seems to be good.

I forget to ask you Ian...you will put figures here?

Cheers.

And 1 of those hours must have been spent on the floor looking for the tiny bits that pinged when trying to clean them up

 

[CDW]

Don't know why I missed this starting ... Right up my alley (ooerrr missus)

Nice start, looking good ..... Next!!

Sorry for the late reply Polux but I'm thinking of having it buttoned up landing on the beach so no figures ( phew )

And got some lead wire to put the hydraulic lines on the pistons or what ever they are called

 

[Polux]

This is coming along nicely, Ian!

It's a curious model, never see something like this before...

 

[Sky Raider]

Nice and neat Ian. Looking fantastic mate.

Andy

I agree with andy, that's nice and neat and tidily put together.
