Next three builds here at MSC .Vintage Tamiya .

[Deleted]

These three kits have been sitting in my stash for decades so i figured its about time to build them now . Theres newer and better kits now but these Tamiya kits build up sweet and easy . I ordered pe for each of them to help out with detaisl that these kits lack .Hopefully i can get thru all of the pe with out going nuts ! The pe is in route . When it gets here i'll start a thread on one of these .

Issued 1994 .The Stumtiger i started assembly on about 8 yrs ago then i put in the box and forgot about it . I ordered interior details , exterior detail and some pe zim . This will my first with pe zim so it could be interesting .

Here's the assembledge i started .


I'll need to order replacement tracks for these next two kits .

Issued mid 1980's .Sd.Kfz. 7/1 .I ordered detail pe for this one also . I have replacement 20mm barrels by RB models .


Issued 1989 . Sd.Kfz. 7/2 .P.e. details comming for this one also plus i have an 37mm replacement barrel for it .Gettin some extra 37 mmm clips and ammo boxes Build is in progress here .................... modelerssocialclub.proboards.com/thread/3844/tamiya-sd-kfz-half-track

Hey brother Carl, SHAWEEET!!! Great selections....and....im building the Dragon version of your Armored Cab Flak 37 after the Marder....unless i get a qwiky build in first. But that 20mm Flakvierling is my fav. Man, im looking forward to this stuff bro!

Glad you approve guys . It should be a fun adventure . I'll be running three separate threads .
Andy I dont think i can run the three builds at the same time like ole Tony though . I think he has all of that energy because he's youger than me ............
Garius thats cool about the DML Sd.Kfz. 7/2 . Griffon makes a full load of pe detail sets for that kit . By the time you got thru buying it all youd have 4 times the price of the kit invested though . But it looks like some really choice brass . Where's that Marder update ?

[wbill76]

Nice set of triplets! The Tamiya HTs will have some motorization legacies in them as I recall...but shouldn't be an issue for King Carl! Looking forward to all three get their time in at the bench.

[bigjohn]

Looking forward to each and every build Carl. I have that Sturtiger in the stash that I'll get to one day.

[Deleted]

Bill , yup those H.T.'s are some real antiques of our model building world arent they ! I was surprised to find the pe for them . They should look descent as long as they arent turned over to see that early Tamiya non running gear detail .

Big John , the Sturm looks like a descent kit doesnt it . I'm looking forward to getting back to building it .

[wing_nut]

I am looking forward to the 3rd one down. That's one sweet a@@ gun.

[Deleted]

I agree Marc ! The added details should make it pop ! !

[afvfan]

Best of luck on the trio, Carl. The ST shouldn't be a problem, but the other two, with full PE, are going be a real test in the power of Cheeto's!.... especially back to back builds!

[Deleted]

Afv , man i hear you ! I should do ok as long as my cheeto's supply holds out !

[reserve]

Vintage Tammy stuff, eh? They sure are a nice break from the tedious hundred thousand tiny part Dragons and can be made to look great to boot. I'm in

Regards,
Mark

[Deleted]

Mark i called them "vintage" , thought it might sound bettr than "old" . Seeing as some of us here are "vintage" ourselves ......

[Deleted]

You are gonna be busy for a while great stuff!

[Deleted]

Thats for certain .....all of them wheels on the H.T's !!!! Yikes !!!!

[Mence]

Three iconic Tamiya kits, still loads of fun!

[Deleted]

Thats for sure ! I cant wait till the pe gets here !!!

[robbo]

Three kits on the go at the same time? I'm in

[406 Silverado]

oh yeah, three cool oldies from Tammy. Count me in on this trio Carl. I have yet to build the armored cab version so it should be cool to watch.

[TRM]

I'm in!!! Just need to move some of the snow aside to pick up some popcorn...or in this case Cheetos =!!!

[Deleted]

Robbo , the builds will be in separate threads . So far i have the Sd.Kfz.7/2 and SturmTiger threads going .
Rob , i've been wanting to start the Sd.Kfz 7/2 for a long time . I was surprised to find some pe for it still available . the tires and track need replacement also and i found them also .
T, welcome , have a seat .
