Hey gang! Chris found an ad for this kit in a magazine at our August club meeting and I HAD to have one! My new friend, Greg Tost ordered some from his vendor, but being impatient, I ordered one from Ebay too. Why is it when you aren't in a hurry for a kit, it always comes in at record speed? :idonno This kit came from Hong Kong to my door step in six, yes, SIX days! I didn't want to start it until I had some of my current projects were finished and I managed to hold out until today. The kit is from Das Werk, in cooperation with Amusing Hobby and has a relatively low parts count. I wanted something to continue my idea of the ETO 1946, this fills the bill nicely. What's in the box??
Three sprues of parts and a decal sheet.
The decals have several numerals and unit markings, I'll be adding a unit of my own. :hmmm hyeah
This is a small vehicle, meant to be manned by a crew of two.
I added some texture to the muffler, just for grins.
Everything is crisply molded and relatively free of flash.
The antenna base was an exception, it didn't look the part, so I replaced it. I also ruined two of the lifting point, so I made brass replacements.
Next up, tracks! Thanks for coming by, lots more to come.
