@grumpy,

Sorry for my oh so late reply, I think it will be unnecessary by now but I feel like replying anyway.
Yes, if you have the money I think it’s worth it by far because the end result will be more realistic, especially the tires.

What did you buy in the end?

[keith hall]

Hi Boris i bought the lenses engine and transfer case i also bought some tie down chains as i intend to put MENGS abram tusk2 on it

regards Keith

[Boris Kamp]

Cool Keith! are you currently building it? how about keeping a simple build log here, would love to see your process and have your build on MSM.

[keith hall]

[Boris Kamp]

Nice! The PzH2000? I built that one many years ago.

[keith hall]

Yes i seem to be kind of stuck at the moment decided to go after market and bought a set of FRUIL tracks big big mistake just trying to get back into it

[Boris Kamp]

haha, well the Fruil tracks will look awesome once you’re done!

[Robert C Ray Jr]

Really good job on what has been done on this project.

[Robert C Ray Jr]

Very good close-up photography had been done for this build. Something like this takes a tremendous amount of patience and discipline.

[Boris Kamp]

Thanks @3thebassman! Hope those pictures will be of use to you. Let me know if you have any questions

[Roel M Roque]

Hi Boris. Excellent work!

I am in the midst of building the HobbyBoss M1070 with the M1000 trailer. I am stuck on getting the ducting hooked on the connectors. And there’s a lot on this model (more than 4 meters).

May I know how you did your ducting on this model? Thanks very much.

[Boris Kamp]

Hi @rollingrock!
Very sorry for my late reply, are you still stuck on this question?

I used superglue and bought myself some very small diameter ducting on a Dutch online store. I did not use the original ducting since I did not like it, long time ago but I think I found it to stiff to work with.

Does that help you?

Do you have any pictures of your work< very curious (-:

[Roel M Roque]

Thanks for the reply Boris. I have put the M1070+M1000 quite aside though to give way to a couple of Russian AFV projects. I think I have found a solution though, using 0.7mm heat shrink tubes to hook the ducting onto the ports. I just have to be careful though that I don’t heat up the part too much as it would easily melt.

Got bits and pieces still in sub assemblies. 😉

Thanks Boris.

[Boris Kamp]

Hi @rollingrock

Happy to assist in any way!
Good luck with your Russian AFV projects, if you feel like showing them of here, let me know.
