RPG 1/35 Phalanx CIWSNowy: 3 October, 20:19 1:35
Sub-assemblies ready for paint. Lots of PE in this kit, and much of it is folded-- one definitely gets a lot of practice...

I got the Mod 11 Block 1B version of this kit because I found it on sale for a good price. What I didn't know (until I started building it) is that this kit is basically RPG's MK -15 Phalanx CIWS kit plus the different parts needed to build the Mod 11 Block 1B version. I wasn't paying close enough attention to the instructions when I started building, and ended up assembling the tracking radar enclosure using a panel for the standard MK-15, and I didn't catch the error until after the glue had set. While trying to figure out what to do, I discovered that this kit had all the parts to build the standard version, so I downloaded the instructions from Scalemates, and happily continued building the standard MK-15 . . . until I got to the barrel assembly. I had to drill out the barrel support blocks with much larger drills than indicated in the instructions, and then when I test fit the barrel assembly to the gun mechanism, I discovered that the barrels were about 7 or 8 mm too short. The Mod 11 Block 1B uses a shorter barrel. I eventually solved the problem by affixing a piece of brass tube to the gun mechanism to lengthen the socket that accepts the end of the barrel assembly. Once painted and assembled, the fix shouldn't be too obvious.

Great dio! Can we maybe get some close up pics of the vehicles and figures?

Interesting dio you produced here. Just one question though, why is the PzKpfw cannon pointing skywards ?

@Olivier, No reason in particular, other than that it looked visually pleasing to me. It's still movable though

Excellent work. And mine has been standing unpainted for several years. Only in the Mi-10PP version with a container of electronic interference.
