SdKfz 7/1 dio "Lost in the rubble" .

[Deleted]

Been a while since I posted here . Here goes with another project .
I started posting this build over at Model Worx ,I have friends in both places and since some of you dont attend that site I wanted to post it here also .



A few years ago I puchased an upgrade p.e. set from Eduard for the Tamiya kit of this vehicle but lost interest in that project before I started it . Some of the p.e. I'm using on this kit .




The 20 mm gun barrels in this kit are well detailed but since I had replacements from R.B. models I used them .




Finished painting and weathering the Maybach 6 cylinder .


Started on the chasis ,

Nothing much cooler than an armoured half track with a gun on back.

[Tobi]

If the result will be anything near the same of your Sd.Kfz.7/2 we'll get to see another piece of art from you Carl!

Hey gents thanks for posting your comments . Its been raining here daily so I've been able to get in some bench time . The insructions on this kit are very vague about some of the parts placement so "redo's" have occured along the way . The magic tracks went together ok but I'm not calling the tediouse handling of the small parts "magical" . I Ruined a few links so I hope there's enough left .
Bill, Its had its moments of fun and other emotions.
T , definetely very nicely detailed barrels and worth the bucks .
Leon , good hearing from you .
Anthony ,thanks .
Andy , I thought I'd get caught up with my friends here again .
Dupes , thanks .
Noname , you got that right ! I've got the US quad .50 mm in the stash somehere's !
Tobi I'm aiming for the results I got with the SdKFz 7/2 so we'll see and thanks.
Terry, glad you like the build already . Hopefully it will only get better.
Tobias thanks .
Deano , glad I found my way back and thanks.
Russ, and its true !
