Step one sees the body build start..... And boy this is a small vehicle (compare against 1/35 Wespe) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Step 2 sees the front fenders, rope loops and the start of the running gear.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Step 3 and it's wheels (very fiddly as so small) and more of the superstructure.... So far so good 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Nice start Rob at this rate it will be finished by the years end! (NOT saying which year) Stay safe Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH1969 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 It's blummin small compared to the Wespe. As said before good start. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Thanks both. Build might be done but painting has to wait for Wespe and Rosomak to be done..... Anyway, step 4 puts the roof on the drivers compartment and starts the fighting compartment.... Will leave side off to allow painting and weathering....

Watto Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Smashing, bit small for my old eyes but, you've done a grand job. 👍🏻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Little bit of budding today. Added the recoil brace (travel position) and started on the gun. Also started on the "what if" part with an oil can rack for 2 fuel cans.left the spare tools in the loft for some reason so they will go on later. Also found Pak 38 crew from dragon but none of them are posed in a way they could go in the vehicle so think that's a none starter.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Thinking I might add a small roof like the Dicker Max... Bit of aerial protection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 found leftover Wespe PE so that gives me exhaust mesh and gran handles. Need to think how this would've evolved in to active service. With a crew of 3 not much stowage but I can envisage some (no room inside) and perhaps a camo net somewhere.... may have to see if I can find a german standing crewman, all my tamiya ones are used now... my winter para ones are all crouching so could try mashing legs & body!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 More progress. Upper structure built but inly placed, gun finished. Now to add the final few extras and do the tracks 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
