With interior, Heico?

13 February 2014, 22:44

Heico van der Heide
It has an interior yes, but i am probably building it closed.

14 February 2014, 08:58

Hunter Cummins
Very nice
Will follow this

23 February 2014, 21:15

Heico van der Heide
Started painting.

The amount of stowage these things can haul is probably limitless, surely gonna make a very interesting subject - looking forward for this one!

21 March 2014, 17:28

Barry Lloyd
It makes the Tamiya offering look very basic, nice one.

21 March 2014, 18:25

Heico van der Heide
Thanks guys, I am planning of filling it with stowage indeed. The Tamiya probably will fit better though Barry. It has some fit issues here and there. Luckily the EAAK covers a lot of the exterior fitting problems.

22 March 2014, 08:46

Barry Lloyd
Tamiya one did fit well but it was a shame there was no interior as your one will look impressive with the doors open, kitted out.

22 March 2014, 11:17

Heico van der Heide
I have another and willing to sell by the way, if you are interested. It's the one without the Eaak: AAVP-7A1 Assault Amphibious Vehicle (HobbyBoss 82413, 1:35)

Barry Lloyd
Tempting but I don't want my stash to get too large! I'll probably build a Challenger when bench is clear as I've never built one before and have a couple in stash.

22 March 2014, 11:44

Heico van der Heide
Aah, Challenger is nice. I recently finished my Tamiya Challenger too and it was a fun build.

22 March 2014, 17:21

Barry Lloyd
I've got the Tamiya Mark 1 and the Mark 2 desertised versions, looking forward to doing them!

22 March 2014, 17:30

Hunter Cummins
If shipping wasnt so expemsive
id be all over that .

22 March 2014, 22:14

Heico van der Heide
Barry, the one i did was the desertised. It was a great kit to build.
Hunter, I have no idea what it would cost for shipping abroad...

Vehicle now painted.

Frank Krause
Pretty busy look with all those bags etc. The tyres are coming good. 👍

25 March 2014, 17:32

Heico van der Heide
Thanks Guys. Nice for you to notice Frank, may i ask which look you like better? Two tires or one? Probably going to rework the bags.

26 March 2014, 07:07

Frank Krause
Hmmm, difficult, but I'd go with the one in front.

26 March 2014, 09:58

Heico van der Heide
Been testing digital camo on the bags. Left will be the color(s) of choice.

5 April 2014, 15:20

Frank Krause
Nice, Heico! Like the bags!
By the way - the tracks came with the kit or are these aftermarket tracks?

5 April 2014, 15:53

Heico van der Heide
Frank, these are the kit tracks. The bags are impressive work by Black Dog.
