I’m at my desk working on this right now…



Here’s how far I’ve got.



I’m goin to weather the undercarriage next. After that I will start tackling the tracks. This kit has individual shoes so it’s going to take a while.

Thats looks like a fun build. Individuals are always a challenge. Much better looking though then the the rubber ones. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Crappy weather where I'm at so I'm also plugging away on the Huey. Actually might get to do some painting today.

It's amazing to me during the design and testing of the big cats no mechanic said, "You know, these interleaved road wheels are going to be a bitch to work on."

Yeah. I like how individual shoes turns out. But they are so tedious. This one has 100 shoes per side. It’s going to take me a while to assemble, paint, install, and weather them.
