Bomber_County Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 I vowed not to start another project but……..Wildcat / Flammwagen & Panzer III L all in the booth, I needed to inhale cement fumes again. So here is a tiny project……and I mean tiny…….the Panzer I Ausf A from Dragon. This was another eBay find at very little money, not sure if they are even still available. The hull in 1/35 is only 4” or 100mm or 10cm in length and yes magic tracks to contend with. These in themselves will need the Hubble telescope to assemble. For such a small AFV, the 420 parts count is sizeable, PE is included for grills etc. Carrying on with my North African theme I’m going to depict this Ausf A as delivered in May 1941 to Tripoli for Panzer Regiment 5. Another reason to model this is, that you rarely see Panzer I or II’s built up, well I haven’t. So maximum optical equipment turned up to 11 and here we go……… 10
Peterpools Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 Phil Looking forward to following and will be along for the journey 3

Peterpools Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 Phil Right with you and I need new glasses regardless of the scale. 1 1

Bomber_County Posted August 20, 2022 Author Posted August 20, 2022 So no booth time but an hour on this little gem. The Tamiya Extra Thin for scale. Got to take your hat off to Dragon they do make some gorgeous kits. Just wish Tamiya 1/35 would step up to Dragon detailing…..anyways here she is … 7
Peterpools Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 Phil Tiny yes, details ... incredible. Nice start and will be following all the way 1
Bomber_County Posted October 23, 2022 Author Posted October 23, 2022 Wildcat complete, Pz III and Flammpanzerwagen in the booth, time to carry on with this diminutive Pz I A. This comes with a full interior but……close it up and it is a glimpse of what’s there…….the second shot is hull laid over and also a comparison against the Flammpanzerwagen ( still have camo to add)…….. 8
GazzaS Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Looking good, Phil. I hear the indy link tracks will drive you mad. 2

DocRob Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Looking great Phil, the Panzer I looks like 72 scale compared to the Halbkette. Cheers Rob 2

belugawhaleman Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Looks like a nice little kit.....and I'm going to be following! 2
CrankyCrafstman Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Jees Phil! That thing is really small, I don't envy you doing the tracks. You do know they (Das Werk) make this in 1/16 scale. The tracks would be easier...lol. its looking real good. Cant wait to see it painted. Ron G 2

I cannot come to terms with doing 1/16 yet but never say never. The tracks are minuscule……. 2

The tracks are minuscule……. The Takom Pz I is a nice kit. Workable tracks. You either want the hatches closed or a figure to fill the hole. But if you complete your 1/35 kit, you might as well move on to a Bren Gun Carrier next. I hear they have an insane number of teeny, tiny track links. 3

Peterpools Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Phil nice progress and the details do look mighty good. Looking forward to your treatment of the links as Gaz pointed out, they sure are very finicky. 2
Bomber_County Posted November 15, 2022 Author Posted November 15, 2022 Haven’t had a lot of time just recently, work seems to be interfering more and more but, I have on side completed, I’ll post at the weekend. Hopefully your building mojo has returned…… 2
Bomber_County Posted November 27, 2022 Author Posted November 27, 2022 Found a couple of hours today, so prior to close up and never to be seen again here is this tiny AFV……..going to top and tail this one and I’ll have three in the booth……..must NOT start anything else……GB here we come…..and yes the tracks are complete and didn’t lose one…… 7
