Sandbox Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Just found this site and this build blog. Amazing stuff. I built this kit as a teenager and really enjoyed building it straight out of the box. 40 or so years later, I have started on this kit and hope to do justice to it with a few bells and whistles. I have just placed an order with pappyhobby. My wallet does not appreciate it but his stuff looks awesome and addresses some of the areas I was planning on scratch building or modifying. I will be patient and hope my order goes well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandbox Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 My package from Papy Hobby arrived today and in excellent condition. Ordered a set of tracks, Cab 02, radiator grill and front blade cylinders. Looks very nice. The tracks were assembled but one track is now in four pieces. I will take a closer look to figure out how to re-attach the segments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandbox Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The order took about 6 weeks to arrive. I was able to re-attach the segments. They are a big improvement over the kit supplied tracks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
