out of curiousity, anyone done one of these lately from HobbyBoss? I’m working on one now and am having trouble with fit - exhaust to engine, air filter, radiator on frame crooked, etc. Had to really bend part of the exhaust and file down part of air filter. Having to use a lot of glue…
Still new to this - is this “normal” for hobby boss?? I haven’t seen a lot of these kits done, unless I missed them on the search. Did see 1 or 2 old ones but no comments on fit. Just curious - anyone? Tks!!
No idea on this kit, and I have only built one HobbyBoss kit, a Merkava IV, but it had a couple of major fit issues.
so here are some pics - have to do a little paint touch up, etc. then im gonna try pledge clear coat & some washing…
No photos are visible.
okay, really weird… when i log in to the site, using safari, i see the pictures. im now on firefox and i dont see them. im posting them again now on firefox. tks
Looking good. I don’t see the prior pictures, but the above set shows up fine. I am using Google Chrome.
Oh gee, I’m getting nothing on my Android phone with Pale Moon or the office PC with WinX and Chrome.
Blanks for me; when I click on them it requires me to sign into a google account though, which I do not have.
ive never had som much trouble posting pictures! I got the email notification of my post and the pictures were there - both times… Im off to the user forum to see if you cant use google…
Weird. Now all the pics are gone for me too. It sounds like an issue using the Google-hosting.
I tried Google after blowing out of PB. It seemed that if it could work, I’d have instant access to my image cache on my own server.
I never could get it to work, same problem.
Now I’m paying $ 24 a year for Fotki and it works really well.
I’d love to see the model. I think Bish was a Milan gunner.
ill have to try later. i posted the same in the test forum, got the notification email with pictures showing but now they are gone…
hopefully you can see them now, above???
Ye, i was a MILAN operator for 4 years. Great bit of kit to fire, PITA to carry.
I don’t see any pics at the moment, but then i am at work. Depending on what host is being used, i can see some at work, with Firefox but not at home, with windows, and in other cases its the bother way round.
It seems to be getting more and more difficult to post pics and iu am sureits not the forum as that has not changed recently.
okay, i think i have it now

sorry, i still cant figure out how to get them to show in the post
You need to hit the reply button and useing the insert/edit image function copy and paste your links.
It looks nice, will look good with a wash on.
One question, it looks as though the MILAN tube is open at the front, am i seeing that right.
before gloss pledge
and after…
Don’t know what you did, but I can see all your photos perfectly now. [Y]
Despite your problems a nice clean build there. Great work!
okay, I have no idea what I’m doing, but here are some with Flory Wash used… Still working it, bt it seems like the blind leading the blind. I need a good manual!! I saw some pics with just panel lines accented and that looked good too. Any suggestions? Tks
Looks pretty good to me.
The nice thing about the Flory washes is that they’re easy enough to remove if you don’t like the results. You can even touch-up small areas with a moist cotton swab without messing up the surrounding detail.
