Trumpeteer Leopold

A very large build. Now the box itself is quite big same size as the locomotive, but the model is a much different story, this dang thing is big!. Build so far is easyerish than the engine but the neat thing i found was the option of using a turntable for display. Good if your going to display the model in a corner somewhere, but im sticking with the streight track, just gona need a very long shelf when i connect both the br52's track and the leopolds track, but should be my biggest model to date. Now back to the leo. The trucks are a major pain in the but i found, not difficult but tedious and very very repetative. Make one of something x16 etc etc. The middle section was the fun part, building the big compensating gun lol. Take special care when building this area, i made a couple mistakes with alignment, luckily i cought them and fixed them except for the adjustable platform behinde the breach. Gona have to mod that part but no biggie. I still have to add the eduard update brass. The model is going to be painted panzer grey because i cant do the camo pattern cuz i dont have a airbrush no the skills to use one yet. Stay tooned for more updates and review on the WC51 beep and a US scout car wich are almost completed.
