BA20 in Chinese service

[Shaun Symonds]

Hi
decided to join in with this GB. I'm going to build the old Dragon BA20 reboxing of the even older Alan kit.
simple kit not many parts so I should finish this quicker than as lot of my builds lately.

For those inclined to build one too, Hobby Boss has announced a newly tooled kit of this weird little vehicle. Let's hope it's better designed than their BA-10

Hi
Finally started this build. And Yes it's an Ancient kit with some very soft strange feeling plastic.
Sorry forgot to take a photo of the suspension arms & drive shaft being assembled but you didn't miss much as it's only 5 pieces.
Any way here's the exhaust attached. not much detail to it or anything else on the underside of the chassis.

This is what the suspension & drive shaft look like, again not a lot of detail etc.

Front suspension & steering rack are very simple pieces.

even more basic Radiator & fixing bracket ( not going to see it once the bonnets on).

Next was the start of the main body. Again very little detail to add. just some seats & a gear stick

The parts for the main shell of the Armoured body.

They soon go together with no major problems. A few gaps to fill.



You can see the strange plastic from the colouring on the side of the hull. it's like it's plastic that's been reused a few times

Wheels done very easy just the front disc/hub cap to add.

Parts for the small MG Turret

assembled very easy with not problems. Still need to clean the MG Barrel but it's so thin that it's a worry it will break.

That's it so far. Should get the filling & sanding of any gaps next.

[Philipp Gross]

Nice work!

That plastic does look weird. But I hope it's not brittle or greasy or anything?

Philipp

[Rob Matthews]

Just looks very nice indeed

Looks good to me. It has lots of character.
