Allen's 1/35 Brach Models 16 tube Reihenwerfer auf Somua MCG S307(f)

[Allen Dewire]

While taking a break from my Mossie hairy sticking escapades, I started cleaning up some of the parts for this build. I also received my order with CA and de-bonder (Just in case) today, so a bit of slinging can start shortly. I took a few pics of some of the parts just to bore you all a bit,


Detail is really good and with practically no oopsies in the castings (air bubbles and such). workable suspension and the long track sections have extra links on them just in case,



Valve stems included and it looks like you could screw the cap off on them,


Nicely rendered 98Ks too. You can just see a tad of mold film between them. It's a breeze to remove it.......

More to come, please stay tuned.............

Allen,
That looks nice I will pull up a chair.

[Ian M]

That looks to be some impressive resin castings.

Anything happened in the last 20days......

[Jim R]

As Ian says those parts look very impressive.

[Allen Dewire]

Sorry for the late and even timely replies Gentlemen. Work (yea, I'm retired???) at my mini-job has eaten up a lot of table time lately.....

Paul, Glad to have you aboard my friend. You are always welcome to join in...

Ian, unfortunately not at the moment. I have been cleaning up more of the parts though. I am trying to finish up my Mossie and going loony painting figs and the base for it. I want to finish at least one GB this year........LOL!!!

Jim, Yes Sir, Luciano Brach does a fantastic job creating the molds for his kits. They are not 100% perfect, but I would say at least 95%. His attention to detail and research is truly incredible too. Pricey, yes. But worth every penny of it...

I do hope to get started with the CA in the beginning of October when the Mossie is done (hopefully this weekend) and then jump into this puppy. I am really excited about building this kit!!!....

Thanks for looking in and hope you will bear with me just a bit longer...

Prost

I'm watching from the sidelines....
Nothing to contribute but banter and admiration ( I don't think I know you well enough for abuse )

I’m in with the rabble until the end of this one, better get lots of drinks and snacks ready

[BattleshipBob]

Looks a very good build Allen, late AGAIN, sorry My friend!!

[minitnkr]

My ass is sore from warming this chair waiting for an update. 20 days? WTF, I thought you were retired? I feel for you with the resin. I finished my Anh 116 in resin, a real exercise in cursing/swearing/stepping away. No slots/tabs/locators or sequential destructions, just splosions. I hope yours are better.

[Allen Dewire]

Morning Rabble and all other folks,

Yea, I know you have all been waiting patiently with bated breath for this to kick off. Thanks for wrecking my apartment and eating/drinking me out of house and home. Still love ya all and CA slinging has begun, but first....

Only just seen this one Allen , apologies. It looks a beautiful kit , very well thought out and very comprehensive . The decals may take some time to do though!! Looking forward to seeing more, cheers tony

No need to apologize Tony. The kit is great and if I do have probs with the decals, you are my first point of contact for help!!!

'Ats all right Tony.....Allen's just gettin' started.....we're just warming the chairs up till the rest of the crew shows up.

And a great job you've done Buddy!!! Next time though, keep the Rabble outta my fridge and cupboards. Had to empty the wallet to re-stock.........

Me. Merryweather, I think we know each other for more than 20 minutes Sir!!! That qualifies you to use abuse where necessary. Great to have you along!!!...........

I do Neil , so leave it to me

Dude 2, this will get finished and you know I accept all abuse cheerfully. My sense of humor knows no bounds Albert!!!

I’m in with the rabble until the end of this one, better get lots of drinks and snacks ready

Super Mick and glad to have you!!! I did have a good stock on hand, but the damn Rabble cleaned me out........

Looks a very good build Allen, late AGAIN, sorry My friend!!

'Admiral' Bob, After all the rough times you and Julie have been through, you don't need to apologize Buddy!!! Glad to see you looking in and please check out the Latest Acquisitions thread as I bought something to help rehabilitate you and bring you back to normal.....

What can I say Paul!!! I had to finish the Mossie before I could jump into this project. It's not my fault you didn't grab a cushion to put under your boney butt. They were in the corner......This kit is the same and as with most resin, no locating tabs, but parts do fit into each other, with care, to make them moveable. The rest is pretty easy to work with and fit with tweezers being your best friend....

I will start a new post with info and some pics to keep it easier to follow shortly................
