Here is my plan with the MCAV: I would like to leave the doors and hatches in such a way that you can open and close them, yet they will remain in a closed position. I want the engine block and drive shaft parts seperate so that the viewer can appreciate the innards of the vehicle. I want to do detail inside the ACAV but not seal it off to where you can't see it, thats why I want the doors to open and close. Some tubing and proper shaft sizes should do the trick.
Working on the wheel assemblies. Previously I assembled the wheels, then painted them. This time I will paint the wheels and then assemble them. This keeps paint off my hands and allows me to paint more accurately.
A view of one of the trees. This MCAV screams to be modified, and this will be my first model that uses a wide selection of scratchbuilt materials. I would use photo etch, but I don't have the time to locate some, and at a later date if I re-acquire this kit, then I will most certainly photoetch it.
Comparison in size to the Israeli Merkava Mk II.
I want to display the engine block and drive pieces seperately so the viewer of the model can appreciate the innards of the MCAV. I will have to dremel (remove) and then sand and/or fill the area to get it flat.
An overview of the MCAV kit. Not all pieces are displayed.
