PlaStix Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I completed this a while ago but didn't get around to taking any photos of the completed model until this past weekend. It's Tamiya's fairly new (it was released earlier this year) 1/48 Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) Ausf.E/F. I have to say this kit was a joy to make. The WIP for it can be found here. To what comes in the box I added an aerial and some stowage which was primarily from the Tamiya Jerry Can set. These photos are taken on my Spitfire display base: And finally one to show how small it actually is: Kind regards, Stix 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Newsome Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 That looks very nice. The figure looks very well proportioned too, much better than a lot of the Tamiya figures I've seen. I take it is a Tamiya fig. that came with the kit? I might have to take a closer look at 1/48 scale as what started out as something to pass the time at sea seems to have taken hold and space is already at a premium with a large collection of figures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Roger. Thank you for your comments. The figure does come with the kit and you're right, it is a very nice one. I find 1/48 is a nice scale to work in and will definitely make some more in future.Very niceThank you Calum.Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Very, very nice indeed, the stowage does make a huge difference. wouldn't normally be something that I'd build (I prefer post-war armour), but looking at this, I may well make an exception !!
