1/35 Zvezda Kamaz Rally Truck.

[outrunner]

Got some sub assemblies built and painted, now to see if it can all come together and resemble a truck chassis.

But not tonight as bedtime is calling.

Nice. I seen one of these that Matchbox toys made thought of this build

[outrunner]

So far so good, still got tanks, front bumper, propshafts, sump guard and a few other bits to fit but all 4 wheels are on the ground so that's good news. :smiling5:

Good progress Andy. Looks to be quite fiddly at times.

[Mini Me]

Yes, there are more than a few fiddly bits to deal with. I know I sometimes moan about tiny, fiddly bits but it keeps the concentration sharp and the time passes quickly.

A look at how things are going, wheels just loosley fitted along with a bit of superstructure but still a lot of small parts to fit. You have to be careful as so many parts of this model are interactive so must be fitted in the correct order which makes it a bit slow. I have spent ages trying find a way to make hinges so I can have the cab doors open or closed but have not figured it out yet. The method usually used for cars does not work as there is no clearance between the door and the front panel of the cab, any ideas from you guys would be a great help.

Looking good so far Andy.

I can't help with the doors but I do have a couple of reference photos from when I started a scratch build version of this, if they are any good to you.

I have used cellophane tape in the past for a live hinge.

Thanks for the offer Andy but I have loads of stuff on the real thing, youtube is full of Kamaz rally video.
