Belgian Renault ACG1 – Renault ACG1 belge (building part1: the suspension)

As I promised,

After writing the historical introduction of the Belgian Renault ACG1 that can be found here, I started to work on the suspension of the tank. Here are some explicit pictures of the progress made. Next step: building and fitting of the nice Friul tracks.











HAPPY MODELLING!

  1. Hello Thierry.
    Un très beau début de montage mais il semble bien que cela ne se monte pas comme du Tamiya ! Les ajustages du kit Blitz semblent être quelque peu approximatifs car je constate que tu as eu recours à la carte plastique. Tout cela ne semble pas trop "galère" tout de même. Bonne continuation.

    1. Evidemment c'est pas du Tamiya, il faut nettoyer, poncer, forer et renforcer mais pour un kit résine c'est vraiment pas mal au niveau ajustage et au niveau moulage aussi d'ailleurs! Je pense que tout kit en résine nécessite plus d'attention que l'injecté mais je pense que ce kit peut être monté par toute personne qui souhaite se lancer dans la résine. En plus le nettoyage reste vraiment minime car les carottes d'injection sont bien placées!

  2. Dear Thierry Tish,

    First of all, congratulations for such a nice, beautiful job.
    Sorry for bringing up this old post, but I've got a question about this model. I'm currently living in Brussels, and a Brazilian friend of mine has asked me to buy a 1/35 scale ACG-1 model manufactured by Blitz. Do you have any idea where I can find such model here in Brussels?

    Sorry for any inconvenience and, once again, congratulations.

    Reinaldo

    1. Hey Reinaldo. THX for your comment. Unfortunately you won't be able to find this model in Brussels because it is a French manufacturer and you need to order it directly from Blitz on their webshop (https://www.blitz-kit.fr/). Another option would also be to order it by mail and get it at Fleurus "L'expo des Caméléons de la maquette". It's an exibition that takes place on 19th and 20th of november in Fleurus. It's not too far away from Brussels if you have a car and Blitz will be there. Be aware that it's better to contact Blitz in advance because I think this model is completely sold out but they might make some copies for when they come to Belgium. Good luck! Thierry

    2. I forgot... the info about the exibition at Fleurus is also on the homepage of Blitz' website
