I hate , hate ,hate Dragon, that is just another example of their poor workmenship and lake of any Quality Assurance. I bet they don't test build any models they produce! Good luck with you build SPUD! I feel your pain!

 

[spud]

first major prob ive had with a dragon kit. ive got teh bit removed from teh other bit now just some clean up

 

[spud]

back on track all fixed.




needs a little cleaning and im all good

 

[Rentar1]

Great job SPUD. I like the little bit of damge you put in the screen.

Finally found pictures!!!

Good work, spuddy!!! well the later dragon build is more ok than the earlier production. problem is much of the parts have to be scratch built to make it more accurate or buy the AM part

 

[spud]

thanks guys, the only prob i had with it was a sore finger from cutting the bit out, ill need to invest in a bit for my dremil that will cut and not melt

 

[spud]

ok small update. the PE tiedown hooks looked a bit flat for my liking so some 0.5 brass rod and a pliers i have some new ones,



i also made some new ones for the topdeck and side last night, I bent the top two and things that could have been carryed on the back, I also finished the vents on teh top

Making wonderful strides spud!! Good call on the grab bars!!! Some things should be left off the PE tree!!!
