Model Fan M548

This is one of my diversions from the Famo build.

It is Hand drawn and looks a lot like some of the Fly Model products I have seen.

Here is the cover for your perusal.

So far fit is merely OK, which is not bad for a hand drawn model.

Nice little project to take your mind off the Famo for a while.
I'll be following along as usual.

The model looks good. I am not familiar with the vehicle.

Apparently I ain't able to read or type good. This is an M548 not an M248.

Road wheels.

The diagram could be better for these assemblies as relative part thickness is not correct. This is a case where one needs to trust the parts more than the diagram. Fit was decent overall.

Road wheels mounted also tension wheel and drive sprocket assembly and installation.

No real issues to report other than road wheel position was not well defined. Drive sprocket diagram was not very clear on how to construct but parts assembled well once I figured out how they were to go.

Tracks, side skirts, front winch.

No real issues. As is my custom, the tracks got painted.
