Grille Sd.Kfz.138/1

Yes, I know about the problem with images. I use scalemates.com for photo hosting, and I accidentally deleted my photo folder there. Now I'm restoring little by little.

I warn everyone: take your time, otherwise, you will have problems!

Only a month has passed, and I have already made a new first-aid kit (the original on the right)!

I suspect that I am working too fast, at this rate I will finish the model in ten years. What will I do then? This is a very serious problem! Probably need to slow down :rofl:

it scratch or a kit?

I made first aid kit from scratch. 
I made it from a plastic plate. Sides of 0.3 mm, top 0.5 mm. I drill and cut holes for the locks and handle on the sides, and glued plastic plates on the inside, which are the bottom of the holes.
I cut and glued small pieces from the 0.3 mm plate into the lock holes.
When gluing the hole in the handle, I used a lot of glue and squeezed the plates hard. The plastic melted from the glue, and the excess plastic formed a handle.
I made a belt from Tamiya tape, a buckle of 0.2 mm copper wire. Painted with acrylic Tamiya. Decal Passion Models

Awesome work! It's a pity that I hadn't seen your Grille before.  In my build something I would have changed.

You have done a lot more than me in certain areas, note the engine bay you wont be able to see much of it when everything is installed, the grille was a rather compromised design !

I am want to leave the left engine hatch open so that part of the engine can be seen. So that the commander's seat does not interfere, I will make it folded into the fighting compartment.

nice work... where did you get the stencil for the first aid kit from?

Stencil from Passion Models: https://www.passionmodels.jp/product/266

Everything, what you need for German self-propelled guns: stickers for radio umformers, firing tables, various inscriptions inside the fighting compartment. 

Suitable for Grille, Wespe, Bison, Hummel, etc.
