First thoughtsThe Falke is almost complete, some quite small projects are on the way and I needed something larger. But not TOO large, and it had to be something special. After building the "FT-17" build was more or less tricky and a compromise (se "The Victorianized FT-17), I couldnt resist to get this little fella here: Maybe youve seen some of my other builds. Those are figures, SciFi related, but almost no planes or even tanks. Except the Emhar Mk.IV and the "Victorianized FT-17". So this small beast is the 2nd "real" tank for me at all. If you have further information, pictures, links etc for me - please feel fre to post them here, Im gonna need some help for this. The kit:Size isnt too big, I love the "compact" and slightly ancient look of it and the price was really okay. It has loads of great details, though and the kit even features single tracks! The build:I planned to recreate a vignette for it, the tank severely damaged and left alone somewhere in the Romanian pampas, with some children playing on it. Its the viewers decision, if this plays in the 50ies of the last century or nowadays. I was reported that in Romania there are still some wrecks in the woods. Pictures will follow. Cheerio Lucas.

They say its the old CMK kit. No wonder- if Im informed right the "(t)" stands for "tschechisch" ("Czech"), and was originally build as a Skoda. The Czech should have some originals left in their country.

Lucas this loks nice man, the diorama setting looks great. Are the rivets not too softly molded ?

I compared it with the original - in most cases the mold is okay.

I have to admit that this dio is the perfect oppurtunity to get rid of some raffle I coulndt place somewhere until now. Kids dont fit everywhere, as well as the armchair. I still have a (very cool!) furniture collection left. Maybe in another dio

Loads to do here, Dicky. Do you know a good source for 35(t) pictures (best case: wrecked/demilitarized ones)?

I made some progress today: The green for the wheels is a mixture of both Tamiya J.A. Green and Olive Green.

Making good progress Lucas, the use of the 'leftover' goodies will go just right with this one.
