Silenoz

A polar bear was driving along the road when his car broke down. He called the recovery service who arrived within a short time. The mechanic said he would need about an hour to fix it. The polar bear walked to the nearest supermarket, where he bought himself an ice-cream. He ate it as he walked back to the car, but smeared some of it around his mouth. As he got back to the car, the mechanic looks up at the polar bear and says 'it looks like you've blown a seal'. The polar bear looks embarrassed, wipes his mouth, and says 'No I haven't, it's just ice-cream’!

En when they miss the ball, they miss it completely...

And today I've received these pictures: Me happy

It's friend of mine who will print or at least try to print these. Will see when he has time for it

Also take into account the color only becomes darker with varnish and washes...

Nice plan to stick to...

there are 2 versions: winterversion Regular version:

Welcome and we will see when you can start this one.

And ready for primer. Rear hooks are turned as per remark (thx for the heads up Dmitriy) Also the tracks are taken care off: Just cut them, added some sprue (the flat plates with the part numbers) And complete dryfit: Now it will take some time to look up and puzzle the camo scheme...

Thank you. Thought something was off, but had to wait till work was over. Instructions were wrong there. That has been addressed already by now.

Nice progress so far... those tracks are nicely designed, only 5h??? I still can't believe that Attached a large chain on the arm to replace some armour or an engine?

Welcome, and enjoy this golden oldie (that is older then me...)

Welcome, and a very nice one, not only the subject, but also the kit...

Nice choice.

So far ready for a check before primer: Still need to adress the tracks

Wouldn't it be better to cut with a microsaw right between the large blocks and the small triangular part?

Was thinking about that, or just glue some sprue where the track is hidden by the fenders...

Some tidy and neat work

Looking great so far... It's a leitkreuz. The Leitkreuz is part of the lighting system of military land vehicles of the Bundeswehr . In order not to offer enemy forces any clues, the street lighting, for example of tanks and trucks, can be replaced by the so-called camouflage light when driving under combat conditions in the dark . The guide cross is illuminated (weakly) when driving under camouflage lights and helps the following vehicle in the column to recognize the position and distance of the vehicle in front. The illumination of the guide cross is so weak that it is only visible to the naked eye a few meters away, even in total darkness. The camouflage lighting has four levels, the guide cross lights up when levels 1 and 3 are switched on. The directional cross (also called camouflage light directional cross ) is located at the rear of a vehicle and is usually slightly concealed at the top. It consists of a green rubber sheet with a white cross painted on it. A small lamp body containing an incandescent lamp (24 volts/4 watts) is attached to the intersection of the cross beams. The white crossbars are specifically illuminated through four openings in the lamp body. A cross-shaped frame made of thin steel tubes is attached to stabilize and protect the lamp. The rubber plate is attached flexibly so that it is not damaged or torn off when driving off-road. When driving in a convoy in the dark, at least level 1 of the camouflage circle should be used. The guide cross illuminated in this state represents the minimum of what the driver behind needs for orientation. This applies in particular when driving on forest paths, where there is little or no ambient light at night and the vehicle in front can only be guessed at. Driving with the Leitkreuz or the camouflage light in general is only to be carried out on command and is not permitted on public roads in peacetime.

Thank you guys, Managed to mount the link and length tracks. Seems I'm missing a link... but cant find it anywhere: and these are detachable for painting and also drawn a basic version for the barrels, just to look if these can be printed: Wish me luck...

Wow... you really feel the cold...

Love the effect on the flat armorplate here: https://imgur.io/0f6u5jO?r

Thinking of that, except the barrel is tapered and has some grooves... Still worth a try eventually. Maybe a wooden base and copper. But a friend has a 3D-printer that can print pretty detailed it seems... would like to try that route too...

Looks a lot like a "Floh". Enjoy

thx guys, some progress: Some overly thick mudflaps Sanded down (if it fails, there are some replacements available...) The glue seams still need to be addressed here also on the front are these very visible due to mold design... so some filler to the rescue, wheels are still removable for painting and in a more natural position 😉 and with the turret in dryfit Pretty large when you see this mounted...
