Tunguska, W-model 1/72
Basic hull as per kit, doesn't fit the upper hull
almost a mm has to disappear from both sides
rear plate doesn't fit too
Preparation of the necessary cuts
dryfit
the furthest sidewall is too long
removed the inside material
dryfit of the rear plate. aligned it to preserve the details. There's still a 4mm gap
Rear plate cut in half
upper part glued in place
first glued the outer parts in place, then centered the mid part
some necessary filling was needed...
this sidewall protrudes about 0.5mm... more filling and sanding...
Rocket launcher tubes are a bit... euh... distorted... Awaiting some 2.4/2.5mm round styrene to scratch these
rear is round
cut off the ends, overall shape on this side is oval...

Started this new one from W-model. To be honest... a bit of a let down, a lot of rework is needed. Had contact about it with the manufacturer, and they will upgrade the molds. They also offered new parts, but I wanted to try to solve it, and have the new parts as a back-up plan...

I'm following!
You have done a lot of reworks still at the beginning of the build! It will be a really sweating work! I hope at the end it will be a fun!
