Wow, that looks very good. How much was the kit?
Trumpeter Br 52 Kriegslok
Hi guys,
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.

And the loco body on top of the chassis:

Have a long way to go..

That's looking fantastic Baykal. At first glance I though the pictures were from a museum.

Tell us, what modifications did you make to the kit as supplied? - the tender doesn't look like a standard DR one.
