Instructions are confusing as always.

Part A31 (hand brake shaft) fits between parts A7 and A8 as shown.
Parts A19,A20 and A22 assemble as shown but install between A8 and A35.


Study the instructions,they are vague in spots. Dry fit before gluing and you should be fine.

See Ya Later

Hi Tony ... Great start... Good ole Dragon instructions!! Always a challemge.

[tonylee]

Hi Ya R.C.
Yep kind of use to it now, one good thing though is it's made up of sub-assemblies.
Sad part of it is i've wanted to build this one ever since I bought it more years ago than I would like to admit.

Thanks for coming by buddy

Excellent beginning on the little oddity, Tony

[Leon]

Count me in Tony! Off to a good start.

[deafpanzer]

Oh yes! Always wanted to get that kit but I always forget... thought it was one of most odd looking machine!

You definitely have my attention... Dragon and its instructions... never a dull moment!

[tonylee]

If they were easy everybody would be building them Andy

Just remember Never Forget

[deafpanzer]

LOL! Forgot to ask you if the gun is permanently mounted to the hull or can we remove it if I want to show my friends later on?

[tonylee]

If there's enough spring in the casement side walls to clear the hub caps you can remove the gun.
I'll have to let you know when I get that far bud.

Looky there!!! Like a rabbit he runs!! Enjoy!!

[wouter]

nice to see Uncle T on a roll again! Looks good mate

Cheers

[pantherf]

Nice start Tony!  Like Andy... a kit I've always wanted too.  Maybe I'll get it for Christmas? 


Before I really got into armor I always thought the gun carriage was mounted in the fighting area, like most SP guns and didn't know it was actually like this!  LOL

The Bison is always a fun project Tony, especially since it's about as pure 'SPG' as you can get! Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on this one.

[tonylee]

Winter weather is here. Sleet,freezing rain and snow all possible tonight and tomorrow.

Productive day was had even if it was slow. Gun is assembled so I added some PE and bits and pieces
to the transporter.




Take care out there folks
Tony lee

[wbill76]

Looking good Tony! We're getting the edge of that same weather front...supposed to be cold and rainy tomorrow. Brrr!

[deafpanzer]

Looking great!!! Let me guess... the metal barrel came with the kit too? If so, that's another reason we have to get this kit. LOL

Gun looking great... dig the wicker cases too!!

Stay warm my friend... saw the news you kids are expecting snow.

[afvfan]

Coming together nicely, Tony. I imagine the guy who first proposed this set up was laughed out of the think-tank!

[tonylee]

They had a need so you make do with what you got,right?

At least they had the forethought that if the transporter broke down the gun could be removed and put
back into service.

Thanks guys
Tony lee

[pantherf]

Oh... the barrel is the right amount of 'bling' here.     Seeing the rear view of the project makes the kit even more desirable now!

Now, what paint will we see?





Jeff

[tonylee]

Well Jeff lets just say the base color will be panzer gray/grey.

Not a whole lot of options when it comes to these Bisons...but grey certainly tops the list! You could always do a Battle of France scheme with the one-third dark brown if you were so inclined. I seem to recall that a couple of them survived long enough on the Eastern Front to actually get repainted in DY as well!

[tonylee]

You're so right Tex
One of the Dragon schemes shows the dark yellow and light green combo.

Weather wise we got a little bit of everything last night nothing real bad but there were plenty of wrecks around town
for those that drive like the roads are dry.

Cold and Damp and my old bones know it

[deafpanzer]

Stay warm... tell Mrs Tony Lee to fix up a real good bowl of chili so you can be back up and modeling!

[detailfreak]

OOLALA, Tony that little panzer 1 variant tops my list of must haves,and this build will certainly be bookmarked.All the snow here has melted and we are forecast in the 30's again this weekend.Well stay warm and happy my friend and give the beautiful bride a hug and smooch from Rhonda and I.

[tonylee]

Not much moochin and huggin but we do share our Geritol tonic often Greg.

[Tojo72]

Hey Tony, good to see you at the bench, nice job on a very interesting SPG.

[tonylee]
