In the instructions, they say to cut down the forward edge of the metal gear box housings, how did you do it? You also modified the opening for the drive shaft, did this mean adjusting the position of the gear boxes?
Thanks in advance, looking forward to seeing the completed build
Hi ! I have never used a resin kit before and am not a very experienced modeler , but this so far has been fun!! I used my Dremel w a cutting disk, marked the gear boxes as shown in the instructions and much to my amazement! Did it
The rest of the hull is stock. I didn't move the gear boxes, just made the hole bigger as per the manufactures website. I am really enjoying so far.
Post your build
