I pressume that it lost its turret to a Tiger? LOL.
Seriously…good job Frosty. I have to admit that it’s the first time I saw one of those. I mean even the M-32 recovery vehicle kit that I recently bought had a turret.
looking good, frosty!!!
one slight critique, it looks like you got a bit of a nasty fit problem on the front hull there that needs some filling. other than that, it looks awesome!!! [:)]
Good eye Chris.
Coming along nicely Frosty. A little well placed mud and your bad seam will be taken care of.
Thanks as always !!
Lookin real swell so far, Frosty! This is Braille scale, right? Cant wait to see more pics.
Excellent work again frosty! You are doing swell! Love the way it’s coming together. Keep it up!
I had never seen one of these either and found it very interesting. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great job model building![bow]
Looking good, Frosty [tup]
Chris:
thanx 4 ur kind words…
as 4 the fit prob, it does look pretty bad with that gap rite there up front ! OUCH !
but there’s a piece of ‘angle iron’ that covers the gap perfectly (part of the kit).
i’ve put it on now … but not in time 2 save myself from public humiliation… [B)][
]][;)]
(just kidding… i appreciate the fact that people care about making each other into
better modelers here !)
frosty[:)]
thanx, allan !
braille scale it is… i don’t do much else.
still have 2 add a few details & weathering, then i’ll post the finished pix.
thanx 4 checking out my stuff !
frosty[:)]
Duke, Robert, Tige, Dan & JCon :
thanx 2 u all !
i’m learning so much from this site & all the great folks who hang out here…
glad i have at least a little 2 offer in return ! [:D]
when i saw this kit on the shelf, i had 2 pick it up…
it’s a ‘limited edition’ PST 1/72 kit, so possibly a bit hard 2 find.

Classic frosty tiny and teriffic!!
You’re starting to create a collection of odd ball armor in braille scale.(If you build braille scale, I frail braille scale(1/144 is my favorite for planes. Any word on that 1/144 armor?)
Yikes brail scale. too small for me. I’d probably squish it. Looking good. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Two of my first few kits were 1/72 i laugh looking back at them. They were terrible. Looks great. Keep up the good work
Kit looks great frosty…What size layout are u building in N scale?? I have one in N and 1 HO (under construction) will try and include some armor in HO one as it will have a USMC reserve center in it, combining 2 hobbies
Looking great Frosty. Your skills have improved a lot in just a few months. I’m impressed. And scared too! LOL
Domi:
merci, maitre !
i am but a ‘dwarf standing on the shoulders of giants’ …[:I][:I][:I]
(like u, allan & Duke, 2 name just a couple of fellow braille scalers).
i find so much inspiration & encouragement here from everybody…
the only thing i can really take credit 4 is not being afraid 2 try stuff i see u guys doing !
thanx 4 being there 2 show the way !

my n scale layout is a ‘british style’ terminal switching layout
it’s a 16" deep, L shaped shelf w/ about 8 ft. on either side.
set in the US, northeast corridor late 70’s early 80’s, conrail & amtrak trains …
most structures r built, scenery about 75 % complete…
an ongoing modeling WIP…[:D]
