Looking forward to this.

I am yet to build a dragon kit so good to see how they go together.

Nice entry, good luck mate. I look forward to following this build

A Dragon kit HOORAY . Best of luck, from my experience with these kits it should go together really well but make sure you study the instructions and dry fit EVERYTHING as for Dragon the instructions are an afterthought and as such often feature mistakes.

Great intro music btw.

Looking forward to the build .

And another entry pushes it's way into the thread. Smashing Good luck with the build and let us know how you get on with the model itself. Hope it doesn't fight back too much but from what I hear, they're nice kits.

Good luck and good to have you with us.

Cheers

They don't always number the parts on the instructions as well.
Finished the lower hull, it only took 2 1/2 hours and only lost one tiny bit at the back. The brassetch grill over the exhaust went OK, but the brassetch chain is a pain so next time I'll use real chain.
The only thing that worries me is the front end is warped and it makes the drive wheels bend in. Hopefully this will be fixed when I fit the interior.
Photo's tommorow.

Well I've pretty much given up on the Pz2 kit. I spent over 2 hours on the lower hull and running gear, sanding all the bits, test fitting and struggling with all the tiny bits only to find out when finished that it's warped. The drive wheels at the front are angled which really shows up and at the back the top of the hull is about 5mm too wide for the top hull to fit. : (
I could sand the back but the front is too far gone. I even dry fit the interior to see if it helped but no joy. I might try adding the top hull at a latter date but at the moment I'm done.
This is supposed to be a premier kit, so I'm really disappointed.
I might go back to a cheap old Tamiya kit I have and try again but at the moment I'm not feeling it whicn pee's me off because I was really looking forward to getting back into modeling.

Such a shame to hear that, hopefully your next build will restore your modelling Mo-Jo.
