So with the Comet getting close being finished I have been playing
with the first parts of the half track and that has been the wheels.
Some of these are cast as in the original kits. But Mark has also made
the thinest ones machined out of solid.
These should be much stronger than the original kit cast version.
This is the type machined from the soild and I have removed the slight machining marks by
careful use of a dremel and sanding drum.
The surface will be textured using high build upol primer to look like a cast wheel which
is like the real thing.
Below are the cast wheels and these are a good strong and much thicker section and have
great detail.
This picture shows all the wheels and the sprockets getting the first etch primer coat.
All of this is so I can glue the tyres on this at the same time as I do the Comet tyres.
I also have primed the sprocket and again this has had re-work from the original kit.
I hope you like. I have wanted one of these since the first issue of this model
and I am pleased to have gotten this one from the small batch of new kits.
I have to say it is an impressive kit and its good to see Mark has upgraded things he felt
needed attention.
First class company
Thanks
Derek
