Guys,
This is a bit of tutorial and information source for our new MK 5000 and MK 5007.
There is a bit of quality control still outstanding but this is how the clean air room system works and how its put together.
1) Use liquid cement and adhere the correct base parts for your build. Use a file and sharp blade for clean up on the plastic. There is some draft angle here and there. The base shown is the only one that has plastic visible on the final model. The others have all plastic covered by some additional assembly.
2) Apply the first photo-etched part. Clean the tabs off the part with a file. I used BSA Insta-Flex Cure + for the adhesive.
3) Apply the second photo-etched part. We will be fixing the small gap seen where the plastic protrudes and making the area sharper in the next pre-production batch. However, you can see how this works in this image.
4) Here is a close up of the side detail that is possible with multi-layer photo-etched parts.
5) Clean up the sides with a file as you go. Here is the next image with the surface plate applied to the engineer's side.
6) Next surface applied.
7) Door latch detail & access plate applied.
8) Side step detail. Use either GMDD or EMD as applicable.
9) Kick-plate detail.
10) Apply the cab.
11) Some RTR comparisons.
Thank you for the support!
The Clean Air Room Sides have some SKU's in stock now. The Clean Air Room Base's will be ready when the quality control is done and to our standards.
