1/35 Hobby Boss 39M Csaba

[Corel]

This is an interesting kit. One; I'm a Hungarian, and this kit is 39M Csaba - Hungarian Armored Car. Two; This will be my first armuor-style building, painting. Three; The man who planned this armoured car was the father of the british armored cars.

There is a link, where you can see it.

Lets see the kit. As I said befor, i'm not a big fan of the armour, but sometimes I love some of them. So, I dont know this is exact, or it had a mistakes. This is a fun build for me.

Nice turet.



Front side of the turret;




The body (yes this is upside down)





Upper part




I had to buy resin parts, because the Hobby Boss made a spelling mistake in the tires.

Really like the small armoured car builds. Annoying that hobby boss can't spell but the resin wheels looks outstanding. Good luck with your first afv build. Smart idea to go with a armoured car.

I have seen the kit in a shop recently and was very tempted to buy it. The hobby boss kits are really nice.
i will follow your thread

Thanks Gustav, i'm on it. The resin part came from a small hungarian manufacture, who's make a lot of resin stuff.

Nice to see how this comes along

The turet.

It was easy.

Drill time!



Thats much better.



More drilling ...



Not bad ... I mean for me.



drill, drill, drill



Okay ... I have to learn more ...



The issue ... Nice. I have to change the turret gun, because one of my cat broken the original part.



I love this little fatherless person!

[Corel]

Back again! It was a long time, but the life is the best joker.

The building was really easy. No tricks, only me the dumb.

Now ready to prime.

looking good, I will continue to watch for updates

[Corel]

Crap! I dont know what happend with my photos. They all gone. Maybe it is only a technical problem.

So ... I create this.

It has been black and white technique, but ... You will see. First stpe. White primer, and gray shadows.



Than gray molting.



Continued US light gray



And add a white. Here is the result. I hope you like it!



And the things what I used.

[Corel]

I all used up up ... I had to remove the whol paint. Now I have to start again.

[InitialProduction1]

That's really looking nice corel. Shame about the paint, hope it comes around for you.

[Corel]

Thanks. I think this is a good practice.
