OK...been awhile since an update....haven't stopped working on it (mind you not as much as I would like to have been working on it), but the front driving cabin has alot of fiddly parts. Sometimes seemed like you would work for a couple of hours on it, and not much to show for it.
I had intentions of putting a little more detail into the cabin, but I plan on showing this in firing mode, which means all the hatches are closed, hence, you can't see anything, so the detail would be wasted, once the top and bottom go on....nothing can be seen....so I am not even going to bother painting it.
I tried dry fitting the bottom to the frame, but ran into my first problem with the kit. The slots in the back of the cabin bottom don't line up with the tabs on the frame where it is supposed to go. So, sliced off the tabs, but the cabin bottom doesn't fit as well as I would like, however, once the cabin rear goes on, and then the cabin top, it is all buttoned up, I don't think the slight warp will be able to be seen.
Having come this far with the kit, it really does build quite well so far, with the exception of above (which is minor), I would almost like to build another of these, but with all the hatches open so you can see inside....maybe someday!!
