Hello ! Its Hardest model in my model-making history Grille Ausf. H (Bison)...He got "only" 156 parts (5 photo-etched) - Personally I must 3 antennes making - not in Box ...Will be 161 parts , this is a lot - He Is only 6,5cm long Model from Uni Models (UM). Professional Plastic Kits Firm from Ukraine in scale 1:72 = Dragon (my opinion).

OMG!

Those are really tiny thingies!!! I will have to try 1/72 panzer, because of space savings... But the size to these thingies scares me off

Great work and im in awe of anyone that can build 1/72 with scratch built parts, i love armor but i wouldn't be able to see the small parts, but at least i can always check out your progress.

[AchtungPanzer]

Thanx JayCub & T3hGuppy:)...This is difficult job but i love that .The scale 1:72 only for braves

[AchtungPanzer]

Hmm The "Antennes" for protective tarpaulin were to "big" to this scale model...Now I think are OK not to big..

[Vilkas]

true gentelmen league I think it applies to armor as well as to 1/72 planes! Well done keep it up

[AchtungPanzer]

Thanx Guys for kind comments ...

To this eatp 19h work with them - Photos with little photoshop


























Complete 167 details, parts on my not to big palm - I am only 171 cm "high" haha (virgin realistic photo with natural light) .

[Coen]

great work Eyrk!!!
Wow... I'll never get over how small that is.
Those small scale armour pieces are at times harder to build than 1/35. The painting is difficult.
Well done!!!

[AchtungPanzer]

Thanx Coen..Yes This model is really Small..and All tanks in 1:72 scale ..



The last photo Headphones indor near Radio P.S. Here is the reall colour of this model...

[gosselin2112]

Nice work! I picked up this kit a few months ago. Thinking of cranking up the scratch building heat and gutting this kit out to the hilt. Still have lots of research ahead of me. What were some of the biggest challenges in building the model?

Russ

[AchtungPanzer]

Biggest challenges in building (for me )- Undercarrige (tracks)...and painting little details...

Model with decals 2 SS Panzer Division "Das Reich" - Kursk 1943...>>>>> That was in painting scheme - Not truth - This is 2 Panzer Division insignia not 2 SS - Shame UM shame




























Only Little Wash , soft weathering and will be ready to collection

[Coen]

That is a fine piece of work Eyrk!
My hat is off to you. Well done buddy!!!

[wappynutter]

How gorgeous is this piece??? That's a beautiful build Eyrk.
So tiny yet so well painted and detailed.
A very well done sir
I bow down to these miniature masterpieces you turn out..

[AchtungPanzer]

Thanx !
