Chris B Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Evening all A most enjoyable and for me rapid (5 week) build once I'd devised a way to get round the tedium of trying and failing to assemble the tracks per the instructions (see 'work in progress' for the bodge). The other bodge was that my ageing hand eye coordination made a mess of assembling the chain to the unditching beam, hence the ends are now safely buried under the spuds :-( To anyone building either of the Mk1Vs as a Beute or even just interested in their use by the Germans I unreservedly recommend the 2 Tankograd books on the Beute Tanks. Very interesting and detailed text and superb photos. I liked the 2 books so much that I've now bought the equally excellent Tankograd on the A7V in the hope that someone will issue a better kit than the old Tauro. I've enjoyed this one so much that I've already started my Takom MkIV Male that may also end up as a Beute. Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo Degenhardt Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I like it. The camouflage scheme is nicely done and the weathering on the tracks in particular is outstanding. Got to look at your WIP to find out how you did it. (I got the Tamiya MK IV to be build in a few weeks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Very nice work! But it's crying out for a diorama base, don't you think? Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
