I received my Trumpeter Br 52 1/35 scale kit last week and since than all my layout activities has ceased.
After opening the kit I was addicted to it.
It is a very challenging kit with excellent details and skillfuly engineered. Comes with 18 parts in light gray styrene with 700 odd pieces and etched plates. The quality of the styrene is excellent nothing compared with Faller, Vollmer, Kibri...and the likes.
Well, to cut things short , here is the progress so far:
The chassis frame,
The cab interior:
Sad part is when you mount the side panels you won't be able to see all this detail so I have decided not to fit in the doors of the cab and to mount a led on the ceiling, hiding the batteries inside the tender, so once finished one can enjoy the interior.
The other day I was toying the idea of getting two of these model and converting them into the Mallet. However, I've nowhere to display it, so it staying a pipe dream...

I really cannot find words to justify the finished result - stunning does not even come close.
Excellent pics of modeling at it's very, very best.
Thanks for the progress reports & stage by stage pics.
