This is my entry into the first ISM GB. I will have the required pics up tomorrow as I can't find my camera right now ( of course) LOL.

In the meantime here is a YT video about it.[youtube]m-GMzYRXSxQ[/youtube]

1/72

Looking forward to this one

[JDMMODELS]

Not sure about the engineering version. Yeah its tiny, its 8.1 cm when completed and it has 139 pieces I think it said. Should be fun. I was thinking about a dio for it but haven't found anything in 1:72 for dio's yet, may have to build something myself. If I do it will be the first dio I have done. I have never painted armour before and only built one tank, A 1:72 T-85

This would be no good for my butter fingers.....

Good luck

[JDMMODELS]

Here are the pics of the kit I will be building





Those 2 tiny specks by the box are the seats

I was talking to one of my buddies about a diorama and he suggested doing a PB lid dio if it will fit. If I do a dio I will build it all from scratch. Wish me luck

[bullgill67]

Good luck mate

[DC87]

Hope you enjoy it, all the best.

[JDMMODELS]

Well, I have been researching for my build and boy oh boy did I hit the mother load of reference pics.
http://www.sdkfz251.com/index.html

So now I have lots of pics to go by as far as the paintwork is concerned, but still will read about this interesting vehicle. As far as armour modelling is concerned, I think half the fun is researching about the subject being built

I also have a ?. I am just getting into armour modelling and don't have any paints really suitable for armour other than an olive drab and some matt browns. I have started to buy tamiya acrylics but was also considering vallejo. Was wondering if anyone had any preference to one or the other, or do they both have their place? I don't want to buy a bunch of paint and it not be what I need. Thanks in advance.

[schweinhund227]

Looking forward to see it getting put together

Have fun!

[PhildaFish]

Wow, good luck mate!

[Coen]

Awesome, I love German half-tracks.
Good Luck on the build!

[Bagpiper]

To repeat what was already said, this is going to be tiny. lol Good luck mate.

Cheers
Jim

[UKscalemodeller]

I'm just starting in armour too.

I'll be using vallejo but only becausw thata what I already have.

Really looking forqaed to seein this come together.

[JDMMODELS]

Thanks for the comments! I haven't build anything on it yet because I need to buy some paint for it and also have a auto build going on right now I'm doing for a local contest, but I'm going to start it soon. I'm also picking at a revell Junkers JU-87 here and there, first plane I've done so its nothing great.

Yes, this build is going to be tiny, but I'm up for a challenge. May have to strap a set of spyglasses to my head for some of the pieces. LOL.

[JDMMODELS]

This is what I have completed on the half-track so far, I know it don't look like much but its LOTS of tiny pieces. I have been using a old paintbrush handle with a bit of poster tac to help position the parts




This gun comes in about 12 different pieces. Very fiddly.


I also picked this up the other day. It may make it in with the half track some how.

[DC87]

Good work especially on positioning those gear levers, hope this build is still going well.

[panzerman]

That Stummel halftrack is a nicely detailed kit......Revell is giving Dragon a run for the money with some of their 1/72 scale kits.
Have Fun building it.
Bill.

[Gav0909]

Pfft that's not small! Try building multipart 15mm scale halftracks!

All joking aside, its looking good, should be nice when finished!

[Lee]

Teeny tiny work - Cool

[JDMMODELS]

The build is going great so far just been busy with work and such the last little while. It is in sub assemblies waiting for paint. I primed it the other night and its looking pretty good so far. Just not sure what colour to paint it yet.

[JDMMODELS]

Bad news boys, in the midst of remodeling the cave my build had a run in with the enemy, namely the floor. Blew it to bits.

I started a new build of a totally different subject. A Revell PT-109.

[Lee]

New thread need then dude

[Paul]

Ah what a shame, good luck with the new build .

[gosselin2112]

Darn floor! PT 109, you say? A floaty thing. Cool!
