 First Update: This is the second Takom M3 that i've built following the instructions and i'm still not getting the gaps around the casement so many have complained about. I guess my habit of building as cleanly as I can does pay off after all.     The engine deck hasn't been glued down yet,needs another part installed under it yet. Until tomorrow Tony lee  |

One almost got us but it went on the south side between us and the bedroom community of Ozark. Close but no cigar Tony lee |

Well done Tony; I guess those other modelers who complained about the gaps weren't real enough modelers to get it right.
Stay safe in those storms and if you can, send some back to SoCal; I'd love to experience them!

Excellent work Tony! Keep it coming. Amazing job Tony!!! Mark I don't think you want to experience tornadoes... I already have, several times. One even passed between the van I was sheltering in and the house I couldn't get to before the storm hit. |

Here we go again. Bogies:     Cutting out the center of the axles sure makes painting the wheels easier. Tracks should be next,I say should,anyone want to hold the gun on me for encouragement. Uncle Tony |

It sure is Buck because I completed the left side with one extra link that fit perfectly to close the gap.  I'm in heaven Tony lee |
