sunray Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 What an excellent kit and photo set. Loved this build and I can see why Tamiya are still selling this kit. One of the best £10 I have spent. The full build is available at http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235018264-135-tamiya-panzer-kampfwagen-ii-ausf-fg/&page=1 Anyway here are the finished photo's. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHendry Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It looks really good - especially for such an ancient kit. Great build, and really well-finished too - it looks really worn and grubby, as desert tanks seem to have done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromwell Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Looks really good. Have you kris b's build? Changing the tracks have made a big difference over the tamiya rubber bands. I made one years ago, not half as good as yours. The fuel can rack is a particularly smart addition, was it scratch built? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunray Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thanks chaps I am glad you like it and I would definitely recommend the kit, its a classic. 1 hour ago, Cromwell said: Looks really good.

The fuel can rack is a particularly smart addition, was it scratch built? Thanks mate. You are right about the track. It does look better on Kris's build. I did try to get hold of replacement track but when I wanted it, no one had it in-stock, so on went the vinyl ones. Oh well may be next time. The jerry can frame is part of the photo etch set and was easy to do which surprised me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Ian, get them and replace. I think you can get away with damage to the model. The best be metal Friulmodel, but they are quite expensive. The Bronco ones are available on eBay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I was looking for replacement track was because I snapped one piece of track dry fitting them. As I said I couldn't get a set so I brought another kit for £10 as I though the metal tracks are a bit over priced for what there are. I have bought and used metal track before a few times but they were for strip down and up grades of 1/16 scale R/C Heng Long tanks. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234939637-my-heng-long-tiger-build/ http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234939758-my-heng-long-walker-bulldog-build/ http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234939972-my-heng-long-panther-build/ Anyway before I ordered the Bronco Track Set from Hannants as they had one in stock so I will have to build another one in a few months, which I don't mind doing at all.
