[sapper23]

Let the fun start... I was like this is going be big, large. Um no... It's huge LMAO... Threw my hand in with the tire to show size ..

SO GOING TO GET THIS ROLLING!

 

[BarleyBop]

Holy shermoly! One tire is the same size as my Topolino!
That's gonna be soooo awesome!

 

[Tommergun]

Massive, but cool!

 

[wjbrandel]

Goodness that's rather large. Can't wait to see the size of the finished model

 

[Edbert]

Whooops.

My 1st thought at the 1/16th from AHHQ I am expecting in May. Where will I put this thing? Aha...the mantle!

Honey? (crickets)

 

[Steve Ski]

Wow, that is a biggin! Ruck On!

 

[sapper23]

Yeah it's a fatty lol,

I have one ordered for that timeframe too.... Half-track?

I decided to go all white since that is the way it would come from factory. I know some soldiers painted the interior and inside ring mount in green and other colors but went factory. First pass through on some chipping done here.

 

[BarleyBop]

all white

First time I did that (Marmon Herrington) felt so odd... then weathering it even weirder (like I could hear my mum scolding me for tracking mud across her spotless kitchen floor!) LOL

Great start on interior!

Yessir. My 1st Halftrack ever and my first 1/16th ever. Already excited.

I had one .. fell went into 100 parts lol. Trash bined it. I have exact same one coming. This is second pass through on it. Maybe one or two more then can start adding more in there.

 

[sapper23]

Got some more interior work done... Some weathering left and fine work including some decals. The interior is starting to come together nicely though I think.

I will be doing some scratch built parts and wiring for it soon as well. That will be fun. I have some reference pics online for that but, detailed pics of interior harder to find them thought would be.

There was an article with good interior photos of a restored vehicle in Military Modelling around the time the Tamiya and Italeri 1:35 scale kits were released, maybe 20 years ago? However, follow-up letters then pointed out things that differed in the restoration and the standard vehicle.

 

[sapper23]

Yeah I have some photos and references just not as clear so on as I would like. I have narrowed down some sections of wiring so on. Unfortunately there are some sections that can be seen from hatch's so on but no idea where goes lol.

You could always resort to gizmology: making things that look like they could/should/would be there, rather than what was actually there.

I do that. Raid the spare parts box to come up with stuff, even mixing scales.

Lol... Yeah I can do that. Helps just serving before and a general knowledge of how it works when comes to vehicles to but yeah will do.

 

[sapper23]

Got some radio wiring done...

 

[sapper23]

Some front end work and parts bin substitution... So far...

 

[wjbrandel]

Great looking so far. I love the weathering on the interior
