IDF APC Nagmachon (doghouse I)

[Peterpools]

Some very nice solutions to what seem as if HB was asleep at the switch when designing the kit. It almost seems they just wanted the kit out the door and left it with so many issues to be dealt with by the builder. 

 

[FullArmor]

Most of the issues are related that there are 3 versions of this kit. You must drill holes or cut out pieces.

[FullArmor]

Tedious process. One done one to go.

PE can be delicate and with parts like yours, everything is about the sequence, as not to corner yourself, bending in a wrong process. There are only right angles, except one; I may have used only a pair of bending tweezers to get the contour right and skip the jig.
Anyway, the result counts and your light guard looks good.

Cheers Rob

Bending jig is must if you have poor eyesight and shaking hands like i have

Got new phone so better pictures from now on.

Trackday.

Super small details like springs.

"Doghouse" 4 machineguns firing all directions. Would be deafening to be inside when combat.

[FullArmor]

Main parts attached. A lot of work put into this point already.

[FullArmor]

Tracks done finally!

[FullArmor]

Construction finished. I'm putting this project on hold. I have no possibility to paint this right now (small rental appartment and it's freezing outside).

[Peterpools]

Some mighty nice work and hopefully the situation will change to where you can paint inside. 🤞

 

[Clunkmeister]

I’m watching this with much interest!

[FullArmor]

On hold for painting...

Absolutely stunning build, I do agree with Rob, this would look amazing with some heavy weathering, look forward to the unveiling……
