Never heard of this maker but sprues look pretty good, Destructions do not, but I'm ever hopeful of a good outcome.



All painted, some assembly by some guesswork. I've added glass, metal axles and will likely have to wire rocket launch assembly together as It would take six plus hands of fingers to assemble w/o any tab/slot assistance. Instructions use magic and my wand is in the shop.

An interesting subject Paul. Good luck with the build.

Moving along veerrrrrry slowly.

Paul,
Looking good mate.

[Si Benson]

Some progress is better than no progress ?

[Mini Me]

Looks good from where I'm sittin'. Could you email me a copy of the destructions for future reference....I'm thinking 'bout doing one of these in 1-87 scale.
Thanks,
Rick

[minitnkr]

Done Rick.
The rocket rack is a real PITA. The fit leaves a lot to be desired but close to done.

[Neil Merryweather]

Oops I missed this Paul, looking very tidy all things considered.

[scottie3158]

Paul,
coming on nicely mate.

[minitnkr]

Thanks guys. Not my favorite. The whole tube/socket arrangement for the rocket rack was a failure, as the tubes were too big for the sockets w/no room to enlarge them & the tubes were too fragile to reduce so had to remove one set entirely veerrrryyyy carefully. Rockets, paint & base remain.

"Tailend Charlie" rough base idea.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

I am glad you got it sorted Paul. Another interesting and unusual model in this group build.

[yak face]

Great work paul especially seen as you're not used to working in such a massive scale !? . I do like a katiushka and although its put up a bit of a fight its looking great , cant wait to see it on the base , cheers tony

[Mini Me]

Looks the Bomb! (even if it is a little large) Nice start on the base....that plus the figs. will really bring it to life.?

[Jim R]

It's turned out very well despite the problems along the way. The base and the figures will be the icing on the cake.
