Right,
The LHS (Kempes) had this little beauty at a good price and looking at the sprues in the box i could not resist.
This is a kit that surprised me with very finly molded parts, 205 in total.
The engineering is not Tamiya’s shake and bake style. The chassis frame builds up from 11 parts that needs to be carefully alligned.
And this is before you start adding the tiny bits, the leave springs, drive train and anything else that is not part of the basis ladder.
Anyway, lots of fun, full engine and as much scope for super detailing you could ever hope for :slight_smile:
Here is the kit:

Here is a picture from the Bundesarchiv:

A beefed up version with twin mounted AA MG’s:

And one more for reference:

The ICM picture I guess is OK to reference, the Bundesarchiv one definetly is.
The two later are attached for discussion purpose only.

Very Best Regards]Johan

Gosh, what an ugly looking vehicle—but a nice job on the model!

Did you lose a rear hubcap/wheel interior?

When it comes to thin-skinned wheeled military vehicles; the uglier the better!

Hi,

Here is a picture of the modern German Dingo;

The apple does not fall a long way from the tree ( Swedish saying).

The first picture in the thread is the box art and it does have an interesting scheme that is new to me.

It supposed to be Dunkelgelb stripes over Panzer Grau.

The picture from the Bundesarchiv is dated 1943/44, indicating that at least AFV soft skinns could cary a variety of camo schemes over the traditional PG.

I am guessing the reason it looks like a hubcap is missing on the rear wheels is that they bolted the wheels inside out to get a wider track.

Very Best Regards

Johan
