Tamiya Horch

Post by Shawn Ramsey »

Here is my contribution. I don't know why I am starting this I will never finish in a month. :roll: During the next month I will be out of town about 15 days. So why am I starting this? :roll: 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. :oops:

After about 1.5 hrs of work. Detail is not bad no major fit issues.

I feel your frustration with time Shawn :evil:

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 8-)

A couple of hours and it will be finished :?:

Well done Shawn for having go :D

The figures in Tamiya kits really are pants :lol:

As that German-Swiss-American patent office clerk said, time is relative :lol:

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 :D

Philipp,
Talker-into-things :lol:

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 8-)
Woody...

Trying hard to do some modeling!

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.

Nice one - it's great to see kit after kit reaching the painting phase way earlier than usual :lol: .

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 :lol: :lol: .
