Pit Roads 1/35 IJN AA triple
The box art says it all really.
With due care, all parts fit pretty well, along with the customary seam lines.
It is, no doubt, beautifully detailed.
The barrels need the fine seam lines removed. Be careful to not create an hexagonal shape from over correcting the seam lines.
The most notable seam lines here are the ones on the base of each magazine.
Sorry about that. !
THE most challenging part of this kit is the final assembly of all the sub assemblies............................PATIENCE. !
This assembly sequence is the most demanding of all the build. Take note of where the items the drive shaft fit onto are in the right position.
Five pieced go to make this drive motor.
10 pieces here too.
Elevators seat position on the starboard side.
Finished. and now, from all angles.
Don't mind the seam lines on the coffee grinder handles. As these were drop forged units and the line was on the originals too.

Kerry COXThe box art is not too bad, and the model is much like whats on the box top.

Kerry COXLode, Thanks good buddy.
This is an other 'quickie' I like to do without all the bling and tinsel.
A really simple but time consuming kit, but worth while if your looking for a distraction from the usual run of the mill kits. 👍
I am pleased you had a look mate. 👍
Cheers. 😉

Kerry COXThere is more fiddling in a bike than this kit mate.
The paint is coming, just like the LAV. 😉

Bart GoesaertSeems you are building my complete wanted list... Looking good, but care will be needed when to paint what part or subassembly...

Slavo HazuchaHa, just discovered this! I like this AA setup a lot... really going against the mainstream, 3 muzzles, odd caliber, for actually aiming it you probably have to use the force... 🙂 Looking really good there 👍 Size comparison with the phalanx perhaps?

Kerry COXSlavo, the size comparison to the Phalanx is on an equal footing.
The detail on both is quite a good reason for having one...........or two. 🙂 hehehehehe 👍
