i bought this kit as austria is upgrading there leopard 2a4 tanks to 2a7 i am going to make the austrian version even though austria is still going through transforming the old tanks to these ones i thought i might do it a little early as austrian tanks are green colored with no camo so unless they do a camo i will paint it the austrian green.

Honestly I thought it was my interior modifications too that was causing fit issues. The fuselage half’s did t want to come together despite removing pins and sanding. I finally got unsealed and filled in the seams nice only for it to crack twice on me when I lifted it by the wings. Super frustrating. My semi solution was to use a thin flexible tip on my bottle of superglue to flood glue into the bottom of the fuselage under the walkway for the waist gunners. Hope it works. I also feel like extensive interior detailing was a waste of time because you won’t be able to see much of it but we will see when I take off the masks. Keep up the great work.
@GeneralPelleScaleModels5 күн бұрын
@@InSidious1805 yeah I think so, too. But others have also reported fitting issues with this kit without doing any fancy interior modifications. So you’ll never know. Your are totally correct most of the modifications inside won’t be visible anyway. I’ll personally do it mainly for my KZbin videos, where they are indeed visible for the viewer until it’s closed.

No, the speaker has a chip build in with some sound files as mp3. And those are played randomly in an random interval. Nothing fancy. They aren’t synchronized with the light, which is kind of realistic, as the light travels faster as sound.

Hi Duke, thank you very much. Indeed, they can. I actually tried that on my f-4 build, and messed it up hardly. Since then I leave them on, actually they aren’t very thick, so it (hopefully) wont be visible in the final build. I might try it out again on a more „cheaper“ build again and learn how to do it properly. Thanks for the tip nevertheless.

I am suing the blu tack thing for years the tip is to squiz down the tape as much as you can so it doesnt make huge bulge and you are using a lot of it ,you need to try to make it thinner (half of what you are using now ) and when the bulge is smaller you minimize the overspray ! What i like to do after i place the tape like you did i go again and squiz it down because the blu tack shrinks a bit and also the angle of your airbrush needs to focus on the top part of the tape and less pointing inside ,not sure how to explain it better ,Ideal is also to build thin layers especially on the blu tack ! For me the biggest "mistake" lets say you have done is that the blu tack is very thick when is thinner is also sticking better ! Model looks great so far !
