Started today. It took me 1.5 hours just to wash the parts! This kit is amazing. I can’t fathom all of the work that went into it!

Re: YT PH 1/18 Hind Build
Definitely worth the wait. Thanks Pickelhaube for having the idea and making it happen, and thanks to Jay, T-bird and Grunt for their support making it a reality.

Re: YT PH 1/18 Hind Build

Winglets and weapons wip. Those rocket pods have been rough, I had to add some styrene to compensate for pour roots and fitment.

Re: YT PH 1/18 Hind Build
Excellent progress.
It looks like you need some series modelling skills to be able to put this monster together. Definatelly not for beginners ....

Re: YT PH 1/18 Hind Build
YT what are you using to fill the spaces (Red Bondo?)...?
Re: YT PH 1/18 Hind Build
Yes, bondo spot putty. Great for filling seams in combination with acetone.

Re: YT PH 1/18 Hind Build
Test fitting the chin turret.
This area needs some sanding when it’s all together to make it fit. My kit was missing a pod but I have requested a replacement from Pickhaube, hopefully I can get that soon.
Painting up some bits.
Some extra tires for a 222 kit and kettenkrad in there.
