Bt44 1:20 amd

[ataschner]

Hello friends. I would like to start another building in this forum saying that I really appreciate this space. I hope I can count on you guys and get help from everyone and be able to change a lot of information.
Well, the kit is from AMD.




Estou com muitas referências e o manual da BT44 1:12 da Tamiya do lado. Estou seguindo ambos os manuais. Isto porque quero fazer um modelo bem detalhado e na verdade quero fazer com o castelo e o bico soltos. Então, o manual da Tamiya vai ajudar bastante nisto.
I have a lot of pictures and also have the manual from Tamiya´s BT44 1:12. I'm following both manuals (1:20 & 1:12). This is because I want to make a highly detailed model with some removable parts. So, both manuals will help a lot.
Start of the work on the body (sanding and putty)




After discovered the measures, I cut the new parts that will consist the new nose (2mm sheet)




Cut off the original nose





A little puty to get the correct shape





The marks to get the correct design of the body




New air entrances at the nose





Naca air entrance.





Adjusting the nose to the correct format




A new set of parts just arrives at home. Thanks to my friend Alessandro (the guy that runs AMD)


Cut off of a little part inside the body










Cut off of the “castle”





Sanding the body







More work at the “castle” (is that right??? How do you call this part?)








The backside of the “castle” was also remade and the shift hole as well



More work here....



… and here



And on the seat as well….





Oh well…. Lets improve this part here also….




New front panel








A little more adjusts on the seat




New hole to get more precisely engine & body groove





For now… that’s it!
All comments and help are much appreciated!!

The start looks very promising indeed. Love it when there are a lot of changes to the regular model and you've posted a lot of photographs, thats even better.

Drago, you did an excellent job on the modifications you've made. You are turning a blob of resin into a wonderfull model. Keep it up, I will watch this one.
