Sd.Kfz.7 8t Late Production

[spud]

i supose i should post this one up, ;D, Yes Jelly another one

so i was bored the other day and i opened up this, here is a link to the pmms review. im going to add a German sFH 18 Howitzer
w/Limber to it.

i dint take any pics the otherday when i was building, but for now the chassy is built and painted along with the engine,

the build was fairly simple and no hicups in the instructions as of yet. i did of course put somthing on backwars but it loosk like it will be ok were it is. after all who is gona see it down in there

oh yes if you are wondering its tamiya German grey

 

[Big-John]

Another one spud? Just as well though, the Armor thread has died down the last few days. Good job of keeping it active. ;D

This does look like a cool kit. I like the looks of this HT with the cargo body.

 

[spud]

haha ya it has a small bit, and me being into my armor i taught i should help out those of us in need .

but the ht is cool, there isnt very many pics of it tobe found and those i do find have a tarp over it, so ill have to make a custom one that will be rolled up

 

[scratchmod]

Damn, he's staring another one and I haven't even finished the one yet. More power to you Spud, looking forward to it.

 

[spud]

lol ya but if i took as long as some of you guys ild loose interest in what im doing, but i know it pays off in the long run

any how onto the bit we all hate. im going to make these and paint them so i can fit them to the chassy. ive also made to the two air tanks well thats what they look like to me

 

[TRM]

WOW!! On fire there Kid!! ;D Count me in!!

 

[Chris S]

WOW You got plenty going on now Spud ;D That is a nice kit tho ,not quite as complicated as the Trumpy one ! and the sFH 18 would be a nice addition

Good start too fella

Chris.

 

[spud]

thanks guys. Yes chris its not a hard kit the most chalenging part will be the tracks because i have to put on the rubber pad. and that gun will prob pose more of a challenge than this

 

[Chris S]

At least the tracks are'nt as bad as Trumpy ,in their kit the track pads are in two parts as well ,so thats three parts per link !

The gun shouldnt post you any probs mate ,and they're soooo worth it



Chris.

 

[spud]

lol that would be a nightmare.

ill be ordering the gun on monday some place and i should have it by the time i finish this so that would be tuesday ;P

 

[Chris S]

;D ;D ;D

 

[Jelly]

Coming together, Spud,

I know that whe you were opening the box, you were thinking about me ;D & ;D

Aren´t you filled with remorse, Spud? Your production rate is throwing us into the mud ;D

OK, Spud, just confess: you will feel better, mate, emancipated: YOU-ARE-THE-HAPPY-OWNER-OF-THE-L.H.S. ;D

OK, this is gonna be great, this kind of german HTs are beautiful. I´ve locked-on this build.
Nos vemos,
RG

[spud]
