Hello all,

Just a quick update from last night's build. I found a small inconstancy in the kit instructions that I want you guys to know about. Comes under Step 8 on the trailer build.

You will see here that this step shows the large tab on Q28 goes opposite of the large open space on the bottom of the trailer.

I did a dry fit at this point and it just didn't look right to me so I skipped ahead in the directions and found that the large tab in Q28 should go in the large open space on the trailer.

This is how it should look:

Also, the kit asks the builder to attach the shackles at this point. I decided to attach them later.

Hope this info will help you guys out when you build yours!

Here are two other pics I took of some of the details:

Thanks for following along!

Nice update Adam!! Thanks for posting the heads up on the instruction's short fall!!

 

[adampolo13]

Tanks T, I got something else pretty cool in the mail today but I'm going to keep that a surprise until later. Gotta keep the suspense built up. Hahaha

 

[letsgobrowns82]

Nice catch Adam. Your doing just fine as SMA's guinea pig for this monster of a kit. ;D

I'd like to get one of these and paint it in NATO tricolor.

I'd like to get one of these and paint it in NATO tricolor.

I'd like to pick up another humvee and do the NATO tricolor, its a pretty sweet camo scheme.

 

[adampolo13]

Dude, I'll send you the windows from my HET if you do 'em up like your Humvee.

 

[letsgobrowns82]

It was pretty easy, I know you could do them up. But I did have fun doing it so I'll keep an eye on the mail box.

I might give it a go someday ?

Have you done a ""Sample assembly"" of your wheels ??? to see if you like the Resin look better over the Original Vinyl tires ?

[adampolo13]
