Just read through this Andy. It’s looking great, despite the mistake in the instructions….it looks a really nicely detailed kit, but it seems AFV club need to do a bit more critical checking before final release. I’ve only made one of their kits before myself, but that one also had a couple of errors in the instructions and a small part that was simply not supplied on the sprues…requiring a scratch replacement.
Bodywork will bring this along nicely now though…..bring it on !

Indeed Tim.... the entire build has been very problematical !:fearful:
Not impressed if i`m honest.... and they ain`t the cheapest of kits!!:flushed:

I like AFV Club kits — sure, they don’t fall together like Tamiya’s do, but they cover much more niche subjects (plus some more mainstream ones) and generally have better than average detail. Certainly for their age — remember that kits like this M35 were released 25–30 years ago, when they were a long way ahead of pretty much everyone else in respect to detailling.

Yeah,i get what you`re saying Jakko......
But but this particular kit is awful mate ...... it really is one i'd NOT recommend!!:

Making a great job of this Andy despite the problems

[The Smythe Meister]

OK then Chaps.....
Despite a complete cock up with the instructions,(Not my fault,i could put up the pics quite easily!!},
Here`s where i`m at at the moment.......



Obviously a WIP going on paintwise.....It`s kinda coming along though.... and here`s the Gun Mounts,(LOADS A BITS involved here!!)....

That`s it for now guys.... I know it doesn`t look that impressive ...... but i WILL get there!! :thumb2:
Thanks for looking in!!

Hi Andy
Well despite instructions and the intricacies of AFV kits the chassis is looking good. Neat and well detailed.

Looking the part now Andy, nothing like a few fiddly bits to sharpen the mind.

Look forward to the end result, a good looking truck emerging here.
