Good luck with the build my friend

What's his styrene stuff like?

He's personally been very helpful a couple of times - once on topping up an order after the event and then on a set of decals.

I concur, Dan is a top bloke, and this year he is trading at our show, what a buy up lmao

Another interesting build to follow, and yet another company I’ve not heard of. I must be slacking……

Beginnings of construction, and first chopping for detailing up DTMW PE set gives clear instruction too.
Andrew plastic is softer than some but well workable, shouldn't be too hard to open vision ports in hull



Onwards, carefully

Hi Nick
Those instructions look pretty good. Too often aftermarket stuff has instructions that are far from clear. I don't mind softish plastic. What I find difficult is that hard, brittle stuff. Sometimes the result of long storage.
So as you say "Onwards carefully"

This was easier than some ive done, the platic helped, i carefully carved back the holes, not being greedy on the cuts, i used a round burr to thin inner face ..... nose plate went well too....



DTMW even give you the inner aplate template.....
I'm enjoying this

Coming on nicely Nick.

I've not got a lot of his stuff but he has been unfailingly helpful in the past.

I keep looking at his upgrade kits for Dingos and they look really good, the trouble is I have four in the stash and the upgrades cost as much as a plastic did.....!!

keep up the great work.

Neat :hugging-face: Another 'well done' for thoughtful aftermarket provision - a template :thumb2:
