Okay, managed to make a start on this. First, the lower hull. This comes in two parts, the tub and the backplate. ![]() The suspension is on separate parts that attach to the sides of the tub, makes it a lot easier to build the running gear. In order to add the characteristic rear stowage bins, the backplate needs the holes drilling out. ![]() and the bins attached . . . ![]() The tub and backplate glued together. ![]() On to the upper hull now, and we have a choice to make, Ausf. D, or Ausf. A? According to Internet sources, there are some details missing from the turret which make an Ausf D model inaccurate. Now I'm not a Here is the bare upper hull, ![]() and the same with the hatches and bow mg ball mount added. ![]() While the glue is drying on those, it's on to the turret . . . The basic turret parts . . . ![]() and assembled. ![]() While that dries, assemble the coomander's cupola, we're building an Ausf. A, so it's the cast type, with the AA mg rail on top. ![]() And fianally for today, the turret complete, with mantlet and main gun, as well as the cupola, added. ![]() That's all for now, Stay Tuned . . . cheers, Robin. |

Oh, I don't know, there's a long way to go yet . . . I've got to figure out how to build and paint the running gear, then there's the rest of the paint job. Also, I don't work regular hours anymore, so while like yesterday I had the time for a good session, I can sometimes go a week or more without any model making time at all . . . cheers, Robin. |
