Gonna sneak this one in at the last minute!

This is the first Dragon kit I've done in about 5 years, and still only the second one ive ever done. They're so expensive, this one cost me £40!

It's only 4 inches long, but there's a lot of parts. I've gotta say that I enjoyed building this more than any kit I've done in a long time. I really got a buzz doing it, so it's money we'll spent.

The Funk panzer is a radio/command veh used to coordinate the large blitzkrieg attacks of the early war. There are no weapons, but it does come with an interior which includes some nice radios and PE racking. I didn't actually use the interior, as I knew I wanted the tank buttoned up. Also, I have plans for those radios!

I didn't have any fit issues, it all slipped together nicely. The tracks tried my patience, but I'll put that down to my lack of experience with the individual link system. More practice required!

So here she is, on the scratched cobble street, with some dragon figures, next to my scratched lamp post.

Hope you like it, and thank you for all the great comments and tips on getting it done,

Great work! I love the realism of the dirt and greenery between the cobbles and the weathering on the Panzer, like the exhaust and springs, they really breathe some life into it. Also I love the originality - I've never seen a shoe shine going on in a dio before!
