Step 1 is completed. Took me 3 hours 😛

3 hours to assemble the wheels? Not bad!😢

8 November 2013, 09:59

Heico van der Heide kirjailija
Yeah, and cleaning up the suspension😉

Small update. Not going very fast, because a lot of cleaning of moulding lines.

12 November 2013, 21:43

Heico van der Heide kirjailija
Some more parts added. Starting to look like something!

Exhaust glue to hull.

Hi Heico,
your step by step photos give good impressions of the details of the MENG kit. Nice progress and thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks Vorya.

New update, drilled holes in fume extractor. Turret looks like a Baz turret now. Sanding barrel.

20 November 2013, 08:55

Holger Kranich
Niiice progress, Heico!!! It looks like a Merkava now!

20 November 2013, 09:12

Heico van der Heide kirjailija
Yes Holger, you are right. I've noticed excitement within myself when i placed the turret on the hull. hehe 😛 And that's a good thing, it's more motivation.

20 November 2013, 11:54

Holger Kranich
Yeah that gives motivation a boost!

20 November 2013, 12:06

Masking and testing update.

29 December 2013, 21:52

Heico van der Heide kirjailija
Hull is now masked, the turret has got the anti-slip coating. Next up, anti slip on the hull and seal it with a coat of paint.

Holger Kranich
My exitement is rising!

21 January 2014, 12:37

Heico van der Heide kirjailija
Thank you Holger, as you can see on this new update the antiskid is on, sealed with brown and the masking is peeled off.

What did you use for the non-slip surface? It do look a bit like Citadel's Texture colour. Have a tin but haven't tested it yet.

21 January 2014, 17:57

Heico van der Heide kirjailija
U.G. I used embossing powder for this. This next updates is for smaller pieces and basket attached to the turret.

21 January 2014, 21:59

Urban Gardini
Thanks mate!

Oh, wonderful kit (Merkava) along with a wonderful company (Meng). Combined with your skills it will lead to an amazing project, I'm sure. Go ahead and show more pictures!
