Beautiful Neo. Your work is so tidy and in such VERY tight spaces. Thanks for sharing

Hello Neo,
I was wondering today what you were up to and now we can see the magic starts again, and what a strange subject to pick, but again another talking point once completed.
Cheers, Mike.

Hello, Steven! I afraid Takom didn't thought about tight spaces. I may make a conclusion. Some work stages.

Hello, Mike! March usually is very hard month for me. Almost all my relatives have a Birthdays in March. So I have to be prepared

This is how it will look like under the fenders.

Vwry nice detailing Neo. Do you keep a count of how many rivets you add to your models?? If so which build has had the most?

No I don't. This is very painful information I think the most was my T-35 from Alanger. but this Skoda is very close to it.

After a long pause some new progress. Chassis is not fixed. I have had to made some corrctions with DEF Model wheels. Also I did not find photos with Goodyear logo. I have decided to leave labels as is. Takom offers us to assemble upper hull from 4 parts!!! Terrible decision. Very hard to install on hull. It has taken me two weeks to do this operation correctly.

A difficult job well done Neo. Your hard work has paid off. I will see if I can find the Goodyear tyres in my photo collection

Hello, Steve! Indeed,it wasn' an easy thing to do. Hobby boss kit is much more better. Sad that I didn't know it earlier. Will be great if you find one. I have approx. 15-20 photos and there are no any logos on them.

With my friend permission. Here are some photos to compare Takom and Hobby boss models. As you can see, Hobby Boss is much more accurate model with good proportions. If you have an opportunety - choose Hobby Boss.I have bought Takom much more earlier than Hobby Boss released their model.So, nothing can save Takom. The hull is definetely incorrect. I will finish this model. If I only know about this....

More photos here to compare two models.

That’s just the way it always goes, isn’t it? You buy a model, put a lot of effort into correcting it, and then someone else releases a much better one (Or you buy an expensive resin kit, and then a plastic one comes out at a quarter the price.)

Absolutely agree! So I will do all to ypgrade this kit with some extra details but I can't win this battle. Only a draw

Hi mate
Looking really good now. Remember, it’s not always about winning, sometimes it’s just about taking part...
