[Solander]

Wow, what a beast! And a ton opportunities for going wild with painting, weathering and stuff.
Will be watching with a huge interest!

That looks like a good fit - no gaps. I wouldn't expect less from a state of the art kit.

Are you thinking ground...work for this Todd?

Not too bad at all on the fit. Couple little bits of flash on a joint here or there but nothing a quick sand doen't handle! I have a few thoughts on the ground "work"...waiting until the bulk of the body "work" is together so I can judge the size..."work"!! :

 

[Junkie]

Right, of course. It's a big one, no doubt.

 

[TRM]

Right, of course. It's a big one, no doubt.

That sounds awesome Spud!! I seen a great pic of one of these loaded on one...Bad A$$!! I am hitting the IDF for mine so this is good to see a couple variants of the same build!!

Since I ran out of time last night to give and update...it will have to be now! :-H

The top of the undercarriage section went down with no issues at all.





Next up was steps 3 & 4; The Ripper





Again, this part is fairly straight forward. a little clean up and the parts fell together!



The Ripper and its frame get installed with no glue to the undercarriage.



Step 5 & 6 came and went quickly with the construction and installation of the hydraulics for the ripper. These are movable parts; both on the ends of the rods and the rods in the cylinders.





I am onto step 7 which is the second part of the Ripper installation. I should have an easy go of this as well.

Thanks for stopping by!!!
