Just starting this build, just coming to end of step 2 and thought I would check you build log out....great info on the axles , I will keep getting updates ,thanks 👍
sabre models absolutely Same problems you had with the bent prop shaft and the rear shocker hitting that step thingy and I even did a dry fit first but couldn’t avoid it so it’s bent slightly up at an angle so doesn’t look too bad
+craig kerr The photo etch was a pain... at first. For the first few parts, I didn't have adequate pliers, but once I got them it wasn't so bad. The NATO tri-tone was the least fun part. My tri-tone isn't that good.
craig kerr Yeah, and once they fall on the ground, they are impossible to find. It's ridiculous, I dropped one of the photo etch brackets for the tail mudguards on a tile floor, and they VANISHED. That's why mine is missing two brackets. But no one will see it, because I will cover it with mud.

Ah, at last a video of a build of this kit... for some reference.
I found that aswell that was a lack of reference material for this build :-/ had to use Google images gor reference
craig kerr I spent a lot of time on the internet looking for pictures of other people's models, and real HETs.
Same here then resorted to Google images where I used a photo of a hett with the duel nato and desert cam
looking good bro! making me wanna buy it!! keep it up!
Thanks brian it's a monster but it's a good build so far might change my mind when I hit all the photo etch lol

Topspin 222 thanks buddy and I totally agree with you on needing good pliers etc some of the pieces on this build are stupendously tiny

Lol weathering is awesome for hiding a balls up ;) I haven't lost any pieces yet so I've been lucky up to now been close though lol
