Never built a 1/48 tank before ( apart from the lil Ba64 the other month for that dio) . 😃Last Jagdpanther I did was a 1/25 one . So far so good, I like using 30% less paint and glue ...more shelf space .....and although the cast metal hull is a bit of a gimmick, I personally like the weight . Detail is very Tamiya as is the great fit . L&L tracks were superb for fitting , Tamiya have really nailed this aspect IMHO . Fixed in one place suspension is the downside. Might do a little 1/48 dio......swearing will start with the figures no doubt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Very nice paint and weathering, mate. Wouldn't guess it was a smaller scale at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Fabulous build! VERY cool and I totally get the smaller scale, more room, less paint, etc. But agree with Gary, you would never know it is a smaller scale. Great job! Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerWomble Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 A bunch of micro Hans , Kurts und Gunthers ... I'm not much of a figure person , and these are just taken to basic paint . They'll get another session of tidying up, slings, mud etc for fitting to the scenario when I decide what they are up to . For IM, figures the sculpting is not bad , and I like the relaxed poses . These are Tamiya 32602 , tooled in 2021 . Still not sure where this is going . As much as it screams FRANCE , the kitty is probably a bit too late for that with no Zim on it ....no JPs at Arnhem ....these guys look too warm for the Bulge ...and I have a nervous tic about "late 1945" stuff as it is the realm of "what if's " and paper panzer nonsense so beloved of WOT people . Zuider Zee maybe as there was a JP unit in that general direction . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerWomble Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 Continuing in the line of "try something differen"t .... making buildings in Qwerty not 35th scale.... Also found a likely scenario , the Battle for Geel in Belgium , 8 -23rd September , where us Brits ( 50th Inf Div) battled to a fro over the town of Geel with the Germans of 85th Inf , II Reg Falschy troops supported by Jagdpantherererers of the 559 SPzJAbt . Some period pics from Geel ATB attached too I'd never heard of this battle till I went looking, so happy again to learn something new. Yes those are C47s for Market Garden .. Church got a pasting , the spire taken out on approach as had became standard practice in France etc . Bloke out front with an odd looking helmet ...Belgian or Turtle Helmet ? Nice Churchill reference pic too , how much extra track ?...all of it . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
