    Well, another major stage is complete – the hull is ready, and the final touch was adding the engine compartment hatch doors. When I tried to dry-fit them onto the hull, I ran into a significant issue with the right door, which has the cooling system attached. It interfered with the...

    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 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...

    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...

    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...
