Tesla Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Any modeler's worst nightmare!! I know that you'll repair this and it will look like nothing ever happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thats a tragedy Alain, but I know youll get it back together as if nothing happened. I know it hurts to see that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackd Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Here the restoration completed. I was lucky because I had to do the four fasteners of the Hood and the front of the right wing. Other parts were broken or removed due to lack of glue. The most difficult was the rear post, it was curved about 5 degree. I am not happy with the weathering on the plates of the harness. I made three tries but I do not like the result. I'll do other tests. Here's my snow plow complete should be painting and the weathering. This parts is in my catalog on my site.

Chariots of Fire Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Alain: I can attest to how you must feel. I have had that happen, not once but 3 times on 3 different models! All you can do is watch it go and then when it hits it is like a bomb explodes under it! Parts go every which way. That having been said, I know you will put it back together. That's what modelers do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles is that you still looking for photos of Colman snow plow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
