Blimp Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 😌 You got me ! I introduce my victim - 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimp Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 I've had the Panda version in the stash , waiting for such a conversion , but then hobby Boss released this . A completely retooled kit , with interior ( no engine though ) - Just the job - Saves me a ton of work . Yay! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimp Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 Let the slaughter begin Most of the lower hull is used , but the upper panels have to be thinned and cut down , scotch tape helps protect the wanted bits . * The different coloured plastic is because I have already started with the Panda kit. Dry run . Next up , Aggggh ! P.E. Aber fender, Masterclub fasteners . - I prefer to solder my P.E. using solder paste and a disposable lighter, spring tweezers are a boon . Simples eh 😊 More anon . . . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimp Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 You could be right , a 1/16 kit was announced a while ago 'coming soon' . anyhoo . . , But now , time for some Internal parts - Hobby boss transmission and hull details underway. I'll need some stuff to stick to the walls too , ammo , radio rack etc. Scratch time . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimp Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 . . . and some paint , to check they're ok . Oh , it;s Beer o'clock already . . . Stay lucky folks , see ya later. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullArmor Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 So those radios were molded🧐. Please tell me more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimp Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 The 'fugspech A' radio {bottom one) is in the H/Boss kit . I made a silicon mold and modified to a 'fugsprech F' by adding/removing knobs, dials etc. Rack was .3mm brass and spare P.E fret. The ' feind hört mit ' decal and other placards are AFV items. Wiring harness , plugs , headphones , mic's and speaker to do yet 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Neat looking AFV. The 38T chassis was certainly versatile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimp Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 Sorry for my absence folks , I've been in Hozzie 🚑 I just got back , I'm still a bit tender but the upside is more bench time 😜. Watch this space ! B. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for HB - I would have expected a Hetzer before a field gun but what do I know? 🤷♂️ Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 A 1/16 Hetzer would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Cool project! I have that Hobby boss kit but will only do an O.O.B Build of it. Yes this was a versatile little tank. Perhaps Hobby boss will do a big Marder or Hetzer. Very nice build so far. Will be following! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
