Wow, when you'll have finished with this one no one will be able to tell the kit you started from... What a masterful build, truly inspiring

[ogrejohn]

Dang Carl, that is some fine looking work you got going on!

[wbill76]

Nice work on the back end Carl, the step ladders are a nice touch along with everything else!

[wing_nut]

beautiful work as usual Carl. you really have to take advantage of that tire and put on some rough terrain.

the last part of your title describe some of my date in college after a night of drinking

Lui , for me that is the fun in building this old kit. Now i have the time and supplies to use the updates available to make it a better kit beyond its original draw backs . Plus some patience i've gained over the long haul of time .
John , your still with us !
Bill , It looks better than i expected . I fixed the broken ladder by the way .
Marc , LOL! . Done that . But no college . I wonder what them mid night queens do for the rest of their lives ?





later guys .

[ceresvesta.]

Awesome! Glad you started the HT season before me...I`ll take some notes.

Phil ,my endeavor here probably wont hold a candle to yours and Gar's newer HT kits . The advancements in the kit technology from this old Tami kit is spectacular .

[bbrowniii]

I've got this kit in my "on deck circle" so I definately stand to learn a thing or two from this thread!

[bbrowniii]

Hey Carl, one quick question: Which set of Fruils is that?

[multicam]

Hey Carl, I just caught up on this and what a great little build so far:) Love the AM additions and the scratch work. It's really starting to look outstanding:). Do you have to thoroughly drill out each of the friul track links or just clean the holes up a bit? I wanna give them a try sometime, but i wanna know what I'm getting into:)

ATL-24 , for Sd.Kfz. 7 - 8t (8 ton ) This set fits the entire Tamiya SdKfz 7 family of kits .The set of tracks comes with a repalcement white metal drive sprocket which has some nicely done detail and will use the kits poly cap and steel axle . It requires some heavy adapting of the kit wheels though . The problem is that the Fruil are the correct scale width and the the wheels are made to fit the overly wide Tamiya rubber band tracks . There are measurents given on the Friul istructions on how much wheel width removale is necessary to get the wheel width narrow enough to fit the width to fit the Friuls . I'll post a pic later of the instructions .

No the hole is there all the way thru but on about 80 % of the track links there is a micro scoppic thickness of white metal flash on one side only (inside) that covers the hole . Its just a matter of pushing a drill bit thru it .

Getting started on the interior . The Eduard p.e. has been easy to work with .......even for an amatuer p.e.'er like me . No , i didnt say peee - errr...

[bigjohn]

The p.e.e is looking good Carl.

[deafpanzer]

Don't you love PE? It looks superior already compared to the kit version!

[ceresvesta.]

Nice addition! Keep it up.

[bbd468]

Interior is lookin sweet Carl. I love the PE carpet monster investigator ya got in your sig.

[Deleted]

Hey John
Andy , for sure . I'm thinking about getting one of those peee benders .
Phil , i'll do that .
Gar , I thought it looked like what i spend a lot of time doing here lately !

[multicam]

Looks great Carl. Love the floorboards:) PE looks the business. Thanks for responding to that Friul Question:)

[deafpanzer]

Hey buddy!
