In this episode we undertake the construction of our Trumpeter AVGP Grizzly. In general the kit builds up easily but we have quite a few holes to drill and filling is required to clean up the many gaps as a result of loose fitting parts. While the fit in this kit does not match the high standard engineering found in more premium products, it's low price somewhat mitigates the short comings. Still with very few manufactures releasing models of the AVGP, this kit is a solid choice for the builder willing to invest the elbow grease to bring this kit to show quality standards.

Not to blow sunshine up your dress, but after watching many-many-many different people I've found your videos the most useful and easy to understand what your doing.

A little sunshine never hurt anyone. Thanks Dana, always nice to hear people are getting something out of the videos. All the better if it makes the model building easier and more enjoyable for others. GL on your own projects!😁

Hey thanks PM, always nice to get a note from you. Yeah the model is begging for tiger stripes.

Tomas, the AVGP stands for the ( Armored Vehicle General Purpose ) vehicle group in the C.A.F. ( Canadian Armed Forces. ) I am an ex 2nd Battalion P.P.C.L.I. infantryman / weapons tech. I was out before we used these in the army, but I did drive the old A.P.C. Very impressed with your build. I am building one now. Thanks for the tips.

Hi Stu. Thank you for your note and for your service. Another buddy I have also served and we had a few discussions about the 'ol Grizzly while I was building. Amazing the affinity service people have for the vehicles they operated. While I can only admire the hardware from afar, building the models at least gets me close. Best of luck on your build and I'm sure you'll have fun weathering your little bear. Cheers!

Tomas, thank you for your response. I am enjoying the build & your videos, but have one problem. The screen on the front with the three windows, do they go beveled edge in or out? Instructions not too clear. I am also painting them with a clear blue. I lost one of the B-26 hook-ups on the front top hull & so decided to leave them out & filled the slots where they went. When I am done I hope to be able to show you the finished model. Cheers

@stevieRay3211 2 года назад

Hey Stu. If memory serves, bevel in on the windows. But please dry fit them first to be sure. They fit together in a reasonably logical way. I struggled a bit with that assembly myself....and others on that build. Trumpeter kits are inexpensive but they come with their own issues. Yes, once you're done I'd love to have a look!

Hi Steve! Thank you for stopping by and glad you enjoyed the video. Not sure I can live up to the "masterpiece" expectation but I'll give a darn good try. All the best mate.

Outstanding work Mr. Tomas! The antenna lecture was great. I will attempt that in the future. Thank you for sharing your work. Kudos to you.

@stevieRay3211 3 года назад

Thanks for the note Azzy - always nice to read the encouraging ones. The ethernet wire is a bit stiff and maybe really pliable but thin and strong fishline may work better.

Hey Alain, thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed the video. Looking forward to finishing this little tub and she should look cool with a few tiger stripes. Stay well.
