Model Armour

And off we go. After much anticipation, the AFV Club Duster arrived yesterday and I went right to work. I won't review the kit pieces, as Terry Ashley's review over on PMMS is quite sufficient and thorough. I asked the MA Members what setting I should put this in, Convoy or Perimeter Defense and the latter won out. What I'll use for the setting is....obviously,


The figures, to start off with, are two of Verlinden...I'll critique those when I get to them.



Not much is done, just the suspension, road wheels, idle and drive sprockets and the rear hull plate.



and a close up of the lower hull....



I have to say, this was one of the easiest suspensions I ever built. Detail is good, parts clean up was a cinch and there was no flash. The above represents about an hour worth of work. Unfortunately, I couldn't go further due to some pressing home issues that needed attending to.

Now, on to the upper hull and turret.

Nice start Steve. Looking forward to the build.

Great stuff! Looks like a really nice kit. I'd be tempted to do one as used by the German Army, but lacking any references I'll be complacent with watching yours proceed...for now

Hello Steve,

Looks good so far. Nice choice of figures.


Woody...

Wow! this gentleman set! Just as many other interesting things should give a powerful results!

Hi Steve

Good to see this one started, great choice too.

I will be following this to see it grow.

Cheers

I'll be following this one Steve. Not my area of interest but it looks like a cracking kit and I'm tempted to get one and convert it to a Bundeswehr version.

Hi
Nice start, will be watching.

Guys,

Thank you all for the comments. It's been a hectic week and I haven't had much time bench time. I should have an update shortly, though.

Lucky that you get one, in germany it hasn´t arrived yet.
