First time I'm seeing this one built. Would be cool to tag along. 👍

Welcome!

Patrick Hagelstein
Thanks Sarunas! 😄 I guess your modelling time has been as limited as mine. 😉

Sarunas D
Lots of work on this kit

Patrick Hagelstein
I surely believe that with that full interior alone. 😳

I'm still waiting for additional upgrade parts. These are parts for the crane arm and interior. For the interior, there is an additional monitor for the driver, a new radio, and new controls for the crane. It may be tricky to change parts in the interior as everything is glued and painted. If there's a risk of breaking something in the interior, I'll leave it as is.
Mounting the RFM power pack is another challenge because HobbyBoss molded the engine rack incorrectly. It's not wide enough and angled wrong. One way to go is to assemble the power pack and dry-fit it to the rack to get the exact dimensions of both components. The rack is already assembled, so it requires extra care during handling. Another option is to wait for a new upgrade set from MAD-Modellbau, which you can look up on YT Rick's 1/35 channel. Worst case, I'll leave the power pack off.

The power pack is fitted to the kit. The modified engine rack is not accurate but looks good enough. Now to apply supporting parts and some putty.

Defo in.

Well done! what a shame to cover up all those interior details.

Sarunas D
Thanks. The hatches will stay open, so no worries.

Sarunas D
It's getting close to priming and painting!

Patrick Hagelstein
Looking forward to it in anticipation!
