Tamiya Horch
Here is my contribution. I don't know why I am starting this I will never finish in a month. During the next month I will be out of town about 15 days. So why am I starting this? This kit is from 1974 I believe. The figures are on the green sprue and they are crap. I will not be using them for sure. Truth be know I was not planning any figures anyways. I do not have enough time.
After about 1.5 hrs of work. Detail is not bad no major fit issues.

Philipp talked me into having a go, and it has precipitated getting my AB sorted out, so there are unseen benefits to be gained
Good progress so far, and the finished build could be an experimental finish, you wouldn't risk on a fully loaded build
A couple of hours and it will be finished
Well done Shawn for having go
The figures in Tamiya kits really are pants

Re: Tamiya Horch
As that German-Swiss-American patent office clerk said, time is relative
You're off to a good start, and that Horch really looks great even today. I'm sure you will have it done in no time

Re: Tamiya Horch
It's an ancient Tamiya kit - they go together very quickly !

Re: Tamiya Horch
Nice Shawn, if I could have found one of these for a decent price, it would have been my kit of choice for this. Built one as a kid, makes sense as a DAK vehicle, wheels instead of vinyl tracks, it ticks all of the boxes for me.

AND that Tarp looks good - as does the chassis detail. And it's the only one in town
Great progress Shawn - just keep it coming and FIGHT the desire to have figures hanging off it

Hi Shawn,
Good job. Those figures are rough, but like all the early Tamiya figures they were the best in town and had some great poses

Re: Tamiya Horch
Thanks for following alone guys.
I am done building the Horch. Still have the Flak to do if I have time but I need to get paint on this thing before I go out of town tomorrow.

Re: Tamiya Horch
Nice one - it's great to see kit after kit reaching the painting phase way earlier than usual .
How will you mark it? I mean since you're not a historically hypersensitive paranoid German with persons in his ancestry who made... questionable decision of employment during the war you could just, oh I don't know, actually use the SS decals...something that's always a tough choice for me .
Best regards
