Whenever I look at it I discover some new details. Simply amazing

By the way...what exactly is it supposed to do?

this thing is simply amazing Bryan. BY looking at those legs, I can certainly understand why they were challenging.

The detail of this kits looks really good.

WHAT THE..........

Quite intriguing!

The primer really brings everything together, doesn't it? Fantastic work Bryan.

Thanks all. It's such a classic design for me. I've waited about 36 years to have a build of the Schenkle.

Phil - In SF3D lore, the thing is an SDR (Strahl Democratic Republic) - "bad guys" - mobile command center. It is used to relay orders to autonomous vehicles like the NutRocker unmanned tank. When the Mercs (Independent Mercenary Army) -"good guys" launched a surprise attack, they captured a bit of SDR equipment. The Mercs now use the Schenkle as command centers. over 500 were built so I imagine the SDR still have a few. It's a large piece of equipment to abandon.

I compiled an introduction and timeline for MaK. Hopefully this explains a lot.

Thanks for the explanation and background info Bryan! A mobile command post makes a lot of sense. My other guess would have been a very oversized anti aircraft gun system

Just amazing Bryan

Too stunning for words!

Phil - There is also a Lunar version with extra padding armor added. I'll see if I can find an image.

Steve - I've only assembled it, the design is stunning!

On with the paint. Black base paint with white squiggles as an undercoat for the top color.

I really like how it looks right now! Reminds me a lot of some German nightfighter schemes
