Build Challenge 2016 - Trumpeter German WR360 C-12 WWII Engine

[Janbouli]

So for the challenge I have decided to do the German World War 2 Loco, my second WW2 and train related model .

The box , always a great illustration on it. The color of the engine on the cover will be the color I will be making the model.


More then 250 parts , here they are .















The instructions use only a few words but the drawings are very clear, with all parts numbered. There is also a color scheme with numbers and names for the colors from several different manufacturers. The color scheme however is the one used after WWII, when the engine was used in civil service. I will be painting it in the color scheme used in the war.

On with the build , although I am waiting for the paint to arrive it's no problem , military modellers tend to assemble several sub assemblies before painting , sometimes the whole model is put together before painting. I will do the sub assemblies and then paint. First I cut all parts for the assembly off the sprue with my sprue cutter , stainless steel German made quality tool. Then I sand off any flash or leftovers from the sprue. Then dry fit the pieces and then glue them on. 









2 pieces of frame ready.

Great looking kit. I've not seen them for sale here in the USA. I like that you even get a length of track with the kit.
