Global Scale Modeller

For everyone who followed my build thread ( http://www.intscalemodeller.com/viewtop ... =29&t=3686) Here is the final result

Some info:

German 8T Half Track Sdkfz 7/1
Recognising the excellent tractive force and cross-country ability of half tracks, the German Army Ordnance Bureau decided in 1932 to develop six military half tracks, from a 1-ton to a large 18-ton tractor.


Different car makers were ordered to develop one of these.

Krauss-Maffeir in Munich took charge of an 8-ton half tracks. Because this firm had given attention and study to half tracks since 1928, they completed a prototype, named KMm7 as early as 1933. It soon developed into the KMm8 and KMm9, and in 1936 the KMm10 was put into production. It was not until the KMm10 was born that the 8-ton half track was officially designated "Medium 8-ton Tractor (Sd.Kfz-7). The last production model, KMm11 was completed in 1938 and put into production immediately.

The production of the 8-ton half track totalled about 1,200 in number by the end of World War II. One of these models was the 8-ton half track with 20mm four-barrelled AA machine gun (Sd.kfz 7/1)

Thank you!
I worked for about 45 hours in total on his build. Started December 4th and finished it today January 1st.
The figures alone took about 4 hours to paint them.

Didn't get your card yet, but the postman does not work very fast here with the holydays and all..
Nice of you to send one back! I think it will arrive this week, I'll let you know
Cheers buddy!

Frans, that is top work buddy... Everything came together just the right way.
Every discipline is demonstrated here for the most part, building, scratch modification, figures, dioramas, tree sculpting, flag printing, snow, mud!
It's a course in scale modelling all on its own.
Thank you for sharing it. I don't think that there is anyone that can say that they haven't learned from your work here.

Thank you coen!
Glad you like it so much. It was a pleasure to build his OOB kit. I've enjoyed it very much, and I love to show people how I do things when i'm building a model. But I'm still learning things too!
Cheers buddy

The flag is from a Dutch compagnie Reality in scale.
They send world wide, but the US takes a while.
