    Onto the bench and off in one day as the oils on my PZL dry for a while. This is part one of a strange new project, including a little dio and another kit.
    The Bandai AT-ST is easy to build and very detailed. There are no distortions in the plastic and I glued only some tiny parts, the rest is only snapped together and will enable to paint the kit better.
    There is no PE or resin included, but the main guns are bored hollow :D. Chewbacca will be removed and another pilot will be added later. No Ewoks were harmed through the build :rofl:.

    Cheers Rob

    I hated the Ewoks.  Should do a build with an Ewok being stepped on by this thing.  I found the Ewoks the ultimate insult to military men.  Otherwise....  nice work!

    Nice choice Gaz,

    I also have one on the bench at the moment. The fit of the kit is truly excellent. I intend to rivet mine. Using both the MMP and Top Drawings plans, I have found a small error in the luggage hatch on the port fuselage upper may be a little long (2mm to the rear) as it appears to dissect a panel line that GP didn’t include. Once I confirm and rectify I shall post a picture.

    Dive in and enjoy some quality engineering and fit!

    Regards,

    Kent

    Kent, nice to hear from you again.   It's been a while.  I'll be looking forward perhaps to seeing some of your work on it.  I haven't delved in too deep as I've had other projects going.  

     

    I'm completely talent less when it comes to riveting.  Just can't make a straight line.  I can use Dymo tape, or a metal straight edge...   but my riveter or scriber will always find a way to drift away.  I can;t imagine trying to rivet over my CA repairs.

     

    Anyway...   great to see you, mate.

    Looks very good, bet the complex PE was a matter of think three times and bend once…..

    Sweet progress and your new method of explanations right on each pics works perfectly. So glad in the end you conquered the large PE frame into submission - looks mighty good.

    Keep 'em comin

    Peter

    Thank you, Fellas!

    Nice detail work and great explanation about what you did. These open hull tanks are full of detail and not easy to build and paint.

    Cheers Rob

    Thank you,  Rob.  They definitely make you put in more time and effort.  Getting close to the stage where I need to fit the figures.

    Might consider a 48 th..harv

    The Trumpy kit shouldn't be too bad if he's not a rivet counter.  I sold my last one for the cost of postage as the kit was rivetted by the Mad-Rivetter of Shanghai.  Lotsa 1/48 kits around....    just avoid the Kittyhawk one.  I've read that it's a disaster.
