Scottie WC56/57 (ST Build)

[scottie3158]

This is my choice for Simons group build. Its the AFV offering. As well as the kit I will be using the Eduard PE set this is not for this kit but the 3/4 ton Dodge WC51/52, the Legend stowage and a bit of scratch. I hope I can do it justice to honour his memory.



Sorry but I haven't taken any sprue shots.

I have added the etch bumpers and some cables for the lights. I wont be going over board with the chassis details as it won't be seen.



Brake lines have been added to the front axle



Finally on the underside the blocky transmission mount was replaced with a scratched mount from some etch plate and soldered up with some added punched bolts.





cheers
Scottie

It's moving to see so many builds being undertaken in Simons memory, but this is definitely one I'll keep a close eye on. Already looking great Paul.

Lovely Paul, usual skills sir!

 

[Lee Drennen]

Paul. Excellent start! I knew you would go over the top with PE and scratch. Pail you have came a long way in a short time since the old MM days. I’m sure Simon thought the same thing watching your magic get better with time. Sitting by Neil with a drool bucket.
