Scotties Puma AAGB

[scottie3158]

This will be my entry for the group build. I will hopefully get started this week.


It is the old Italeri offering I picked up cheap in an evil bay auction. The instructions are showing their age with a nice brown hue to the paper. To go with this I have the griffon etch set. This is for the dragon offering so I will have to check and look as to what it replaces on the kit. Also is a resin set of wheels from AM works also got cheap online.

If your sharing no fidgeting and keep your hands where they can be seen. I may have to source some aftermarket decals. Not sure about figures and decals yet I may combine the swimmer and this together not decided yet.

Started cutting plastic today and this kit will be hard work. The plastic is very brittle, soft on detail and full of sink holes and bad moulds. Still on a plus this is what I enjoy taking a cheapish kit and trying to make it better. Not up to the scratchery of the Mr T's of the world but I will try my best.

Made a start on the lower hull and suspension arms. They needed a lot of cleaning up and filling. This has been set aside to dry.



Started to remove the moulded detail on the engine deck in preparation for the etch grills. Having thought about it I decided it would be easier to remove the whole deck and scratch a new one, I hope my skills are up to it or this build will end before it started.



cheers
Scottie
