diases Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hi Guys. Not been around much, as RL has kept me busy. Anyway, when this build was proposed, the meat chopper was set for release, so was purchased, and has sat in my stash since then. As one of, in my mine, the most iconic WW2 vehicles, It just had to be built. Box contents, much plastic, and some interesting single piece Rubber band tracks (no joint). Looks to be very thinly moulded plastic. The Start. Step 1 is a transfer box type thing. 26 parts, and 2 bits of Photo etch gives you: Its sitting on a jar of Dissolved putty to give a Idea of size. Linkage detail is lovely, although will be totally hidden. Step 2 is the Chassis which is together but no pics until it fully sets up. Step 3 is Engine which I'll be working on today.

Robert Stuart Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Oh, yes! Agree, we need one of these (at least) in a half-track build. Looks like an interesting kit, too. Going to watch with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor L Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I'm pleased someone is building this as I fancy a go at it myself at some point. I will watch with interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Bob Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I have the Dragon kit of this with a brass barrel upgrade set. I was tempted to enter it in this GB but I had so many nice options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diases Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Cheers Guys. Anyone know a good source of .50 cal brass barrels? Can find many in 1/32, but 1/35 seems a lot more limited. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diases Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Ended the barrel hunt, could not find the style I needed. So instead got 4 Eduard Brassin Resin M2's. They will need very slight modification to remove the rear handles, but look a lot crisper. Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I didn't realize that AFV Club were so parts heavy. Good luck with this build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
