WIP - Mexican DN-III

:) Hello friends!

I am back after of problems with my health, this is my work stopped in September, yesterday I restarted it.

Mexican DN-III

Image

The kit is from Mexico made in resin of regular quality and it coming with some failures as the wheels protectors which they coming incompletes and / or bad finished. All front and side port of vision they not have good detail. Some pieces are missing. Finally the hull it have some holes in order to fill them. This kit is a little disaster!.

Image

The side mudguards were re-constructed and now are ready!.

Image

Image

Working the periscopes with styrene. I continue using the details with soldering and another periscopes.

Image

Regards!
Rodolfo

Next steps:: To remove the lights front because they are oversized and to finish the work in "scratch" of the periscopes, rounds and handles.

Ready the front lights, hooks and I added the screws of the center plate.

Image

Image

Ready details of righ side and soldering.

I applied "Metal Primer" of Gunze Sangyo for best adherence of the painting.

The Mexican vehicle they have a many variety of the green colors, for this reason is a quite difficult to make it. Ready the color base with Duck Egg Green.
