The trials of etched brass parts on the trailer of the IBG 1.72 Scammel Pioneer Tank Transporter and Crusader tank kit are just about done! Can't say that I am sad either!
It looks interesting in this bare plastic and brass etched state that will later be harmonised with paint.
Additional from the last update is that the jacks are in place along with some sort of frame on the underside.
Meanwhile, up top some additional pipework is in place but now it is time to add the ramps and what a pain that was!
There were more etched parts in the form of support bars which needed to be fitted to tiny pins on the ramps themselves and the trailer floor - nice!
Its done now and no contributions to the swear jar were made - amazingly! I am leaving the wheels off at the moment as it will be easier to paint them separately and then attach them.
