Please excuse me, posting here in almost the same time about the same subject, but I just could not resist this model and finished the painting in a 'forced march' - quick to say: Tamiya acrylics, weathered with washings of oil, a decent chipping and some pigment powders. Placed the rifles, the wheels and the wind-screen, and finished all with a coat of flat colourless acryl. Now it is up to make some figures and find some stowage...












At least two 'sepia' pics:




Cheers,
Christian

I hope mine turn out as good.

Thank you very much for all the reviews, I think many of the modellers will buy this thing now.

If this is the Revell kit it appears more than worthy of a purchase.

Nicely finished.

Hi Christian,

Well done, a lovely model and certainly right up there on my 'to get' list. I am thinking of doing this with the Revell 88, but I am not sure if the later version was used in the Desert Campaign, which is where I would like to set it. Perhaps someone could enlighten me. I thank you most sincerely for taking the time and effort to show us how good a model it is, I think a lot of people will now be thinking of getting one as this half-track has been on most people's 'want' list for a long time.

All the best,

Paul

Very nicely done, great weathering!

Pete

"The disappointment of the year": But you have built a beautiful model.

Matthias,
If this is your way of disappointing people, by all means please keep disappointing all of us! Maybe you could disappoint us with the armored/unarmored flak versions of this half track next?
Christian , very well done! excellent work with a much needed update of the sdkfz7. Thanks for the in progress shots ,very helpful and it shows with just a little extra effort what a fine kit this makes up to be.
cheers, Jim

With a MaCo 1/72 Pz.II Ausf L Luchs than happy with a Modeltrans one!

Screw the naysayers, and please, please try to keep the prices set so we can actually afford 'em.....Then we'll buy 'em, and that's guaranteed!

All the best

PS - MaCo get my nomination for new kit manufacturer of the century as things stand now.....Precision parts, great detail, novel subjucts AND a two way dialogue with the company.

and fervently hope to be even more disappointed in the future.


Just as an illustration of my earlier disappointment:

Keep'em coming !!!

PS: I hope the tongue-in-cheek undertone of my message was clear...

Thank You very much guys for Your kind words. It was really great fun to build this little gem. I wish, I had more time for more reviews, specially of such great subjects like these.

P.S. I am planning to let it pull a S.Fh18 (ACE) and set it on a small dio, so it is not the last time, You've seen this model...

Cheers,
Christian

Beautiful finished piece Christian . Thanks again for sharing your in progress and finished build. I am waiting impatiently for this kit to arrive and thanks to your postings, this is a no brainer to purchase. All the best!
