Looks like an interesting project.

The project starts with a horror movie where one figure was shot in the back and had to receive a graft. Part of a Trumpeter deformity was transplanted and now he is recovering from his ordeal. The surgeon had to slash the inside with a bayonet and use a syringe full of acid to be able to beat the torso in a comfortable shape.

The RSO engine appears to be very fiddly, I can't seem to get it lined out straight in the frame. Today I was able to attach the tracklink supports and cut the wood for the dio base.

Thanks for the attention. I ordered a metal barrel, but too late I noticed it's 1/72. I immediately sent a mail to the store to switch this to 1/35, they still got a middle type. But I think the order was already dispatched.

The interior of the cabin is upgraded with some Eduard PE and the cabin doors are also improved. This DML kit has the correct seats on the new sprue H, in stead of the M113 seats with the older Dragon RSO kits. The engine will be clearly visible. The Friulmodel tracklinks are drilled through to fit the track pins. The set also contains beautiful sprockets and idlers and even the axles to connect these to the undercarriage.

My typical approach to Friulmodel track assembly, with a calibrated cutting device able to cut multiple threads at once. In comparison with the Dragon tracklinks these are hollowed out deeper and have a product code inscription. The downside to the easy cutting pins is that they all need a white metal plug on the bore hole.
