Rick,
Thanks mate. Nothing in particular just in general I like to check as I go along what I can improve on or what might be missing.

This is going to be nice, might even get me back to tracks.

Andy, I must admit I got fed up with tracked vehicles and have only done wheels recently, but I like this kit and there aren't to many wheels or links :smiling3:

I never even noticed mate until you pointed it out I will have to go back and see what differences there are.

Looking at the photos, one is angular and the other rounded. My guess is the angular one is for the late-style simplified wooden cab that Italeri also released.

Sharp eye Jakko. Likely the case. PaulE

[scottie3158]

Yes I tend to agree I had a quick look earlier.

Seriously slow work nothing fits or lines up properly, but that is the fun of modelling. That said sprockets are done why there are sprockets at both ends I'm not sure as only the rear ones are driven, probably just to keep the tracks on given the single road wheels.

some nice tech detail with the "Steyr" logo on the hub. I also drilled out the mud scraper arm



The moulded hatch detail was removed and the etch offering added.



The cab interior requires major surgery. As mentioned earlier in the blog the kit included two interiors one is for the prefabricated square cab.

I have removed the moulded in seats and the blocks they sit on. This entails making a complete new cab floor and patching the engine cowl. You can see from the picture how much needs to be removed. If I don't screw it up there will be some pics to follow



cheers

Quality work like this takes time, a lot of time, and if you're having fun - that's what it's all about.
Carry on Sir :thumb2:
