When it grows up it wants to be a tank just like the big brothers it has posed next to.  An outstanding job on this wee beastie. A very well done Pz I. Truth be told, every now and again it is just fun to build a wee beastie. Dave |

G, that's just smokin' Man. Outstanding finish Bub. I'd hate to think of staying inside that thing all day though, it's pretty small |

Dicky - Thank you brother, this was more than a learning experience. It was FUN! Leon - Thank you sir. I appreciate your following and contributing to the build. Dave - Thanks, the little monster looks right at home on the shelf for sure. This is as small as I want to go though! Imatanker - Thank you! I cannot imagine spending more that a few minutes in this much less all day and night. Bill - Thanks sir! She's definately a worthy addition to my DAK collection. Gary - Thank you sir! Living in the desert gives one an unfair advantage . I have ready references at very construction site. Carl - Appreciate that sir! Truth be told that rust was the easiest part of the finishing. Now if I can do it again on the next one.................... Tonylee - Almost as prolific as you sir! Thank you for joining me. Detailfreak - Thnk you sir! There's more DAK waiting on the shelves and more to come. G

Wow, she's turned out great! Top job all round G-Man Andy Leffler and I have been swapping ideas for a potential future GB and I know Andy wants to do a DAK GB and I haven't built a DAK machine before so the GB idea looks like it's set in stone. One question - I have Dragons Flakpanzer 1A in the stash. Would these have ever been seen in service with the Afrika Corps? I think not but the question has to be asked! Cheers, Ben |

Excellent finish for this one. It's actually kind of odd to see one of these in something other than panzer grey.

I think not but the question has to be asked! Cheers, Ben Nope, Flakpanzer Is only saw service on the Eastern Front and then not for very long...poor things were over-stressed by the weight of the gun, prone to break-downs, and woefully inadequate in terms of crew accommodations and ammo capacity even when towing a trailer of their own. I can only imagine what life would have been like with one of them in the desert! |

Thanks guys for jumping in to answer Hinksy. I haven't had time to get on the site due to work issues. I have seen the Panzer Jaeger I in Africa, but that's about it. Thanks Woots! afv - While I think there is nothing wrong with Panzer Gray, I like variety! Bowtie - Thank you sir! There's more of mine in the gallery. Rob - I really thought the three together would be a striking pic. Guess I was right! Ok chaps off to work I go. No power in the building today, maintanence you know, so I will be back tonight. G |

Cheers afvfan, G and Bill, I thought as much but the question had to be asked all the same Like Andy I have a real soft-spot for these little Pz. IA's and think they look killer when sporting the DAK scheme. This is a stonking little build - especially when put up against it's bigger brothers! Great work all round Ben |

Thanks Leon. I got that idea when Gary and I were watching BigJohns M4 Jumbo build. He built Cobra King and asked for critique. I for one saw no inconsistencies and when I made a BW photo it confirmed that the model looked right on compared to known pics of the real tank. I have done this a few times on my builds as I believe it is a good way to compare.
Bruce I really should do that. I'd have all my bills paid and money in the bank in no time!
Small update, I hobbled outside and primed the figure that I am using with this build. Pics later as the pain meds are making me a bit loopy.
