What a great looking halftrack you have, Carl

Dust and dirt are awesome.

Lui , how you doing ? Good to hear you like the way it looks . I did this one a little different than I have been doing the weathering in the past .Looks like it'll be the method I use now unless I figure out something better .

Thanks again !

[bbd468]

Damn that looks AWESOME Carl! Love you style of weathering and finish....good stuff bro!

[Deleted]

Gar , thanks bro ! I had my doubts about doing any weathering on it to begin with .

Not much going on here as far as bench time . I've got a little 7 yr old grand daughter keeping me busy for a few days . I'll be checking in when she allows me .

Just beautiful! Catching up here... Oregon was beautiful! Now I understand why you will not ever leave northwest.

We bought the DVD when it first came out and then the CD with all of the songs from the movie on it . I'm going to break out the movie again and watch it . I had forgotten about it till you said the "soggy bottom boys " .

That guy Everett I mentioned was a shipmate of mine .

Good memories Tony .

That movie is poking fun at my kin folk. But I love it............

Andy , you were lucky and did your visit when the weather was nice . Sometimes the Oregon and Washington coast go for weeks with cloudy weather . but your right about me not leaving !
Thanks for looking in .

Hollywood is allowed to do that to certain groups it seems .....................but it is a fun movie !

Carl old chap that is true artistry right there. Your weathering is superb I just love it. You really should get this in a magazine

[Deleted]

Sniper Thanks for comments !
A magazine you say ? That's a great idea ........my next challenge . I'm still learning about this weathering process . Gotta say it was a learn as you go for me .

Here's the kit 37 mm flak barrel and flash suppressor along side the replacement from RB Barrels . Now I know why I spent the money to replace the kit part .

[TRM]

That is the stuff there Carl!!! Immeasurable!!

[Leon]

That's a really big improvement Carl.Looks good.

[wbill76]

Good call on replacing the barrel Carl!

[Deleted]

Thanks for looking gents . That RB makes some fantastic barrels . We are lucky to have them !
T, actually it is measureable ..........2 "(5omm)
Nems you kill me mate !
Been slowly progressing on the rest of 37mm's mount , adding some pe . Guys that " hold n fold" is the cats meow !

[Deleted]

I used Bills idea and "glued " these little teeny tiny latches on this box instead of contending with the mess of c.a. I sat the parts on the surface in their approximate position and then flowed Future on them with a brush . There was plenty of time to put them in their final positions .

[danb.]

Great work Carl that gun looks so much better with the RB barrel a worthy upgrade

[ceresvesta.]

Holly shenitzel!! They look gorgeous Carl. Nice call there my friend. This will bring it to the next level.

[bbd468]

OH man, that barrel is sweet! Lookin awesome brother Carl!

[bbrowniii]

Love the RB barrel Carl!

[ogrejohn]

Nice barrelage there Carl. Looking great!

[Deleted]

Hey guys , thanks !
Glad you allz is likin the replacement gun barrelage ! Now I won't have to put the kit barrel back on it !

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

OH YEAH Real Hardware

Tony lee

[wbill76]

Nice little PE detail work there Carl! Just be careful not to handle them too much during the assembly...that's the only downside to delicate PE on gun mounts!

[Deleted]

Tony , it actually gots metal in it !
I hear you Bill . I've been holding off on the rest of the pe until I get more of the gun mount assembled.

[Deleted]

as usual pure quality work old chap

[fightnjoe]

i like that, going to have to try the future thing for "gluing".

oh and the barrel looks to be an improvement. more detail.

It's cristal clear, the right part looks 10 times better than the left one ! All those strange holes, no the right one looks defo the best !

[Deleted]

Pete , Joe and Guy thanks for looking in my friends .
Guy , you had me wondering there for a minute !
I should have an update later on today , hopefully

[Deleted]

Finally !!!
Good grief that p.e. takes a while to cut off , bend , glue , remove if not positioned correctly , twing into space , crawl around on hands and knees , re attach ........and that's just one part .
Anyway I slogged my way thru the p.e. . and due to all of the time it took I'm posting more pics than I probably should so please indulge my gloating .

I used the Eduard set 35489 which has all of the p.e. for the Sdk.Fz.7/2 and the flak 37 . Its a really nice p.e. set with 4 frets of p.e. parts and a printed on paper gauges for the dash .

[fightnjoe]

ok you win.

dang that look good and it looks like work.


nicely done carl.
