CSM romfell panzerwagen 1/35

Picked this up today. Since the biplane build I've been wanting to try a csm kit. I've heard a lot of good about them. Obviously this is not a plane but it is a csm kit! Not starting this until I finish my Tiger but here's a look. Nice packaging.

And here's some of the instruction manual. Very nice layout and about 6 pages of history of the vehicle.

Sprues are individually wrapped except one has two. Decals are Cartograf. I also learned the csm has partnered with cartograf who does all their decals. They also have partnered with someone who makes wood props and someone else for resin kits so you can one stop shop and everything is much more reasonable.

Here's a shot of detail.

Cool vehicle! Interesting how those long wheelbase armoured car designs carried right into early WW2.

So I decided to start it- for you guys. I wanted to see how fit and finish would be. Sprue attachments are on small side. Some of the parts don't have locating pins and there was very minor flash clean up, it was on a small detail part on the inside of the part. The detail seems excellent so far.

Not sure what happened to this post

Yes and it seems designs were broader from ww1 as people tried to determine what worked coupled with the knowledge and technology they did have. As ww2 progresses designs begin to become more similar, although execution may have varied.

engine detail. Need to paint it. So far impressive kit.

And where else would she lie?
