    That almost looks like they designed it for 1:35 and then just scaled everything down For those parts C1 and C2, I would cut the bit of sprue they’re on, off from the main sprue first — cut through where the 9 and the 10 are with snips, so you can get the actual parts down against your cutting mat. Then put a finger(nail) on top of the part itself to press it down, and carefully cut it off the sprue. Hopefully, that will stop it jumping away

      Okay, I did it. The turret has even more details than the hull. I'm curious how I'm going to paint this without touching anything and breaking it off... :thinking:

          Great job. Small scale and a kit with many very tiny, fiddly parts. Looks a neat and tidy build.

            Great work on the build Andreas, looking forward to seeing paint thrown at this now.

                If you manage it, please share the secret lol! I'd expect myself to lose about half of that at least :tears-of-joy:

                  I've been known to glue a nut on the bottom & thread a screw in to hold while painting.

                      Now that is looking good, such a shame it has to be covered in paint.

                      On your next build drill a hole in the bottom of the hull for a screw and the turret use the method you have done for the hull....

                              I've just acquired one of these, sorry I missed the start of this. Will make sure I check it out before I do mine!

                                The detail you have added really pops now with a coat of paint.
