robw_uk Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Photos when I am next at home but I will build the IBG 1/35 Otter. Will be out the box, have a few references but none show them really heavily laden so going to hold off stowage (unless I find could images) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I didn't know what the Otter was until I looked it up just now. Nice choice, looking forward to your build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKirwan Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Is there any similarity between this kit and the Mirror Models kit of the same vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the plastic is the same but where MM use resin IBG reached with plastic.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKirwan Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 That would explain the high parts count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Skipped to step 8 (first 7 are wheels and then PE bending (will leave that until the PE is needed)9... Engine starting to take shape. Nothing will be visible but I like making and painting an engine (May see if one of the engine covers can be left open) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 And now finished..... Found a few small additions to the interior (storage for the MG from the turret) and want to see if I can see how the AT rifle was stored when not in use, and then I can open the bonnet.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Argh... Just found a part missing (looking at sprue it seems to never have been cast which is very odd). IBG contacted, on to next steps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 Chassis coming together nicely... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 Chassis and axles done ... Need missing part before I can glue axles to chassis so moving on to next steps.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 On to the turret, roof, gunners seat and interior. I have a nice schematic of the LHS wall showing MG an AT rifle fixtures so going to do a touch of scratch building (you should all know me by now, can't resist if the evidence is available). Will leave both doors open so should be able to see about of what I have done)... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceAddict Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Respect to anyone that can do that tiny PE stuff... I have yet to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This PE isnt too bad actually, fairly simple bends 18 hours ago, 81-er said: That's shaping up really nicely James Thanks .. Ok so RHS wall underway. Just need the Boyes AT rifle bracket along the bottom then it's stalled until I confirm if missing part is coming. Will paint interior while I wait cos I think lining up the front is going to be a pain ... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo1966 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Coming along nicely Rob. I have this in my stash, so will watch with interest. What is the part number you are missing? Thinking i should check mine. It's a strange looking beast btw. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeroenS Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 That's already starting to look pretty good. I've built a few IBG kits, I think they're good value for money and they usually built up well. But indeed, there's almost always a missing or half done part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 IBG have confirmed they can supply the missing part... dont think I will be around building for a while tho, still hoping to get this done by the end of the GB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
