Old Buckaroo Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Pavel - That is one of the nicest kits of this type I have seen built. Amazing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenworthman90 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Im thinking about buying another kit so I have spare parts and able to stretch the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel A. Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 For stretching of the chassis I used simple evergreen or plastruct profiles. It is very cheap. As a putty is a best normal super glue (don't falling down in holes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah, that KW you did, Pavel, is probably the most heavily modified "SNAP" model I've EVER seen.....It's a brilliant piece of work....You gotta check his build and finished threads, John....This is how you modify a kit....It's utterly amazing.....

Pavel A. Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thanx friends. This kit is better than w900 from revell germany. The hood is shorter, than engine is very nice. Only one thing is terrible.... rims and tires. I use tires from Italeri. Of course you must give on rims (from this kit), the rings from italeri. Just for make a "wide rim" because original is too thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsbooks Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 My 2 cents worth and admittedly, stolen from someone here on the forum a long time ago... "Treat each part and sub assembly like a model in itself". A good example is if you stick with the supplied tires and wheels. Make them a model in themselves. If you can nail those with a good fit/finish, then you are well on your way to a nice build. When I can stick that in my head as #1 priority, that is when good work comes out. On the kit supplied tires and wheels, it is a good but not impossible challenge. Have fun and welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I never understood the way they designed the tires on these kits- seems like they'd work much better if the tires were plastic, or if the vinyl used were a bit harder.
