(Another) Tamiya Panzer II Ausf F/G (Holy Toledo SIG)

[Daishi12]

Yep, I'm doing one as well

As normal - box art



and sprue shots :-









Close up of decal sheet :-


I'm not sure why Dunhill's decals were defaced, as you can see they are unit designators not Swastika's


Drastic plastic tracks





Background info and instruction sheet:-






Initial assembly - I like Tamiya kits, they always go together so well with very few fit issues






I will drill out the exhaust pipe a bit later.


Road wheels, drive sprocket and idler assembled :-


Turret half assembled, I thought that to keep a nice even pressure on the lower turret ring a make-up file and a spring clamp would be ideal - I was right

Hey glad to have you in buddy! I'm doing thisone too...and so are 5 others! It's a great, simple kit, making a fun build, somehow! You've made some nice progress there, looking forward to seeing her all done up. You gonna do Afrika Korps?

[Radzy]

Hmm.. I must be suffering from some kind of deja vu

Maybe I will get one then

Yes, I've got an idea for a diorama with the SDKFZ 251, but for the SIG It'll be a stand alone kit with maybe a vignette with the troops.

Trying to stop myself, but failing ---- "I knew you were going to say that"

Maybe it should have been the 'Holy Toledo it's a Tamiya 1/35 Panzer II' Sig?

Snigger, it sure is popular, but knowing the diversity of the people on here, they will all be different.

Looking forward to seeing this one as well.
