Finished assembling the full set of tools: Jack, shovels, axes, extinguisher, etc. Also installed the front towing hooks, main headlights, rear light, and antenna base. There were no markings on the fenders showing where to mount everything, and—as usual—the drawings either lacked any...

Thanks guys. I'm trying my best :)

Thanks Micah. It's hybrid - 3d printed on special paper that has Zimmerit like texture. I showed it in the beginning of the thread. Every detail that is Zimmerit printed double on regular pages in the book and on special page (you can see it in first post). You can choose what to use :)

Got to assemble the fenders/mudguards. Odd decisions with gluing marks and paint—and, of course, this one big part must be painted by the assembler on the inner side. Probably due to a lack of space in the book or because it would be too thick if made as two separate parts. Nevertheless, I...

Hi everyone, I had to pause the assembly for a while due to some family matters, but now I’m back. I left off at finishing the rear wall, which includes the main muffler, the auxiliary motor muffler, and some other small details. Aside from the usual errors with strip lengths, there’s a...

Thanks, guys! Little update - rear beam, with tension mechanism Assembled on body

I the meantime I continued to equip outer hull. Front transmission hatch doors. Was in need to do some adjustments to fit those. This Zimmerit-like paper really adds to the effect! In addition, assembled air pre-cleaning system. Tube templates were useless, so I made my own on the site...

Added some more parts to upper hull: Spare wheels rack, jack base, machine gun cover and driver visor cover, antenna rail, front hatches doors and perimeter fence and turret perimeter low shield. Rear hooks will be glued later, when I install fenders. Now no chance to understand where exactly to...

Assembled front plate with visor window and machine gun. Didn't glue the machine gun yet. It will be done, when outer part off moving ball will be installed Went to assemble upper part of a hull This is the puzzle I will figure out how to put together :) Also I had an idea to make it...

Final bits and pieces of interior: gas masks, extinguisher and side visors From 5 mask holders supplied, you need only one. Also, extinguisher holder is unnecessary. There are already stripes on it. Extinguisher was a bit higher than upper line of armor, so I lowered it a little, by...

Finaly got to assemble 20 shells that will be stored inside boxes on side shelf. You need to glue first row of rack arms and put shells on it and then continue to second and third in same manner. Otherwise, there will be a difficulty to insert those shells between arms Also pay attention to arm...

You're welcome! Eager to see what you have chosen!

Assembled radiator and cooling system Added joining flaps when glued radiator sides, because they are too long to glue by edges alone. There were no issues, but I suspect there will be later with cooling system. Not sure it will fit well above the engine. For now, only radiator attached...

Engine is ready. Took me about a week. Sherman one from Halinski took my half a year ;) As usual none of the strips were in correct length, because of wrong diameter calculation, but I pointed all of them down and all errors are hidden. GPM in its finest :) The resembling is very very...

Good question Chuffy! First of all, I like to look for reference of similar builds, to know all errors and to understand the correct build. Secondly i try to look for real drawings, pictures and data in the internet. But it depends on the complexity of the model. If the model is reach with...
