Pete in Lincs Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 The programme Combat Dealers had on on rebuild. Maybe some of it will be useful to you. https://youtu.be/8EX79k-H5hM 1
Marklo Posted July 2, 2022 Author Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) In a staggering coincidence I just popped on the tele and discovery are playing the episode just now. Some great views of the gun and mantle. I also like that camo scheme, was planning on using an ambush scheme, but I'm beginning to think it's a bit hackneyed. Edited July 2, 2022 by Marklo 1
Marklo Posted July 8, 2022 Author Posted July 8, 2022 I may have saved myself a ton of work here, 1/16 Panther track found on the interweb for €4.59 plus shipping and look like they can be cut down to work on the Hetzer. I reckon if I do it right I might even get a second 38(t) chassis out of them. 3
Bandsaw Steve Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Looks good - but won’t 1/16 scale be far too big?
Marklo Posted July 8, 2022 Author Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bandsaw Steve said: but won’t 1/16 scale be far too big? 1/16 is only 50% larger than 1/25 and as it happens the track links are too wide but pretty much the right thickness and height, so I should be able to trim them down to size. I have a plan b( c?, Z?) and have a set of rubber band tracks on order too. Edited July 8, 2022 by Marklo 1
Marklo Posted July 8, 2022 Author Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) One more resin part to mold ( a fourth sprocket) and I think I’m done. Edited July 8, 2022 by Marklo 3
Marklo Posted July 9, 2022 Author Posted July 9, 2022 The full complement of bits and pieces. Started attaching the suspension parts. A bit more assembly. The road wheels are just dry fitted to check (Czech ) if I’ve gotten the overall assembly right. 4
Marklo Posted July 16, 2022 Author Posted July 16, 2022 Four if the eight road wheels dremelled, filled and sanded. I’m going to redo the hub details. And of course I managed to sit on the hill so it’s undergoing some ( thankfully) minor repairs. 2
Marklo Posted December 3, 2022 Author Posted December 3, 2022 Added in to KUTA mostly or cause it wasn’t getting the priority I tend to give GBs nor because I don’t love it Fear not the Hetzer is almost complete. All learnings will be incorporated in my builds for the STGB.
