O'hhh

That makes my Flammpanzer look really well moulded!

Your doing a great job, on what appears to be a horrible kit. I would have gave up along time ago.

+1 on that!

Thanks for the appreciation guys. I think the worst is behind me now. I managed to get the two runs of tracks assembled after a two-day struggle against the resin links which systematically broke as soon as I put some tension.

When done, as a reward, I started assembling the hull
From what I showed in a previous post, I got this :





I didn't bother using putty. Instead, I used my good old method with resin gaps: CA glue sprayed over with accelerator. This thing saves you a huge amount of time. Immediately after, the CA is hard as rock and you can sand the excess.
On the lower glacis the CA stains are applied over a myriad of tiny air bubbles. They will be sanded away later.

Here is the vehicle which starts looking like a self-propelled mortar.

Impressive......most impressive

Some more details. Most of them have been overlooked by Panzershop or wrongly represented. The plastic card was intensively used.
Some much time for so little results! Sometimes I think this hobby can be a bit insane

Just in general: you have my highest respect for dealing with such a completely horribly broken kit and invest the effort to beat it into shape!

It's starting to look remarkably great which I'm certain would not have been possible if you'd tried to do this ootb.


Best regards

Small update as this kit is quite demanding, to say the least
The exhaust protection has been improved and the kind of round support (probably a base for a pedestal) has been redone.

Olivier- Your making what appeared to be a very bad kit into something really well detailed and nice.

SHawn

Hopefully here is the last obstacle with the build :









I still have to work out a solution to properly depict the parts so it could take some time before I update this thread.
