Thanks Rob...

 

Hi guys,

It's been some time since my last posts here, my apologies. I was involved with other projects like my Marder III DAK. 

 

Well, the new diesel engine deck was finished and I also added some pieces on the rear of the vehicle. As I said, the diesel engine deck from MR Modellbau  resin conversion has some errors and was not used, except a small part that I cut...

Hi guys,

 

It´s been some time since my last posts, my apologies again. Well, meanwhile I added some photo etched parts, a new antenna base and mount (the correct type for this version), I make the quad .50 machine gun mount with full movement (up and down too) and other minor changes.

Hi Carius,

I must admit I have never seen this type of vehicle before, your model is a work of art. The only thing I've seen on these lines is a Falcon mounted on a Abbot chassis it never made it past the trials stage. It end up in the Vickers tank Factory in Newcastle moving completed Warrior turrets , the vehicle was painted yellow. As for the turret it maybe in a corner of the factory somewhere.

This is an unusual and very well executed project. Looking forward to seeing the finished vehicle.

Many thanks Terry, I'm sick but restoring my health, so as soon as possible I will go ahead with this project.

Cheers from Brazil
