CATCplSlade Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 ...from the Hasegawa Ki61 build - which is awaiting the first exterior coats - by a couple of armor campaigns over at Armorama. I am still involved in one which ends this month (AFV Club kits), but I completed the Big Cats IV (any kit with a feline name) and the Sd.Kfz 250/251 by the edge of my teeth. So here's what was so much more important than an LSP: Dragon 6326 1/32 Sd.Kfz 251/2 Ausf. C mit 8cm Granatwerfer, OOB with Tamiya acrylics, AK/Mig weathering products, graphite pencil.

CATCplSlade Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) This was followed by Dragon 9045 1/32 Panther G, also OOB except I made the tow cables. Decals reacted to the wash even with a seal over them, so it was either too thin or not cured enough...

Martinnfb Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Beautiful sdkfz, except for this the thickness of the mortar tube needs a little adjustment. I don't want to be a pain in the butt , but it's a bullseye feature and it doesn't take much to drill it out. Panther is very pretty indeed. Thanks for sharing.

CATCplSlade Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Well, I finished the Panther with time to spare, so I started on this: Cyber Hobby 9144 1/32 Pz.Kpfw VI Ausf. B with production turret, OOB again plus PE screens as the kit came with none. The kit represents a semi-fictional 332 attached to s.Pz.Abt.501 in the Ardennes, 1944. A late war vehicle released in red primer with a 3-tone scheme applied.Threw in a new-from-the-factory barrel in primer gray for s#!4s and giggles.

CATCplSlade Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Then, I finished the King Tiger. Already had a Tiger I and a Jagdpanther, so now I needed a Jagdtiger. Dragon 6045 1/32 Jagdtiger with Porsche suspension. Yes, OOB. I think I meant this to be the 9th or 10th chassis built. Don't 'member.

Bomber_County Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Great builds, I often get distracted by AFV's, got say really nice dusty used finish to them all......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Nice! I really like the 251 too, and really want the Dragon kit with the huge rocket launchers on the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you refer to the Sd.Kfz 251/1 Stuka Zu Fuss, which fired a trio of rockets from large framework "tubes" on the sides. I have one of those plus another TEN versions waiting to join the three variants I have now. One of those three I just completed not ten minutes ago. Pictures coming before the clock strikes midnight. In the Eastern Time Zone. Edited March 19, 2017 by LSP_Typhoonattack LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one, but then sold it, and I've wanted another ever since, and will possibly grab one later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Do you by any chance have a copy of this book? I have several others on these vehicles, but not this one (not yet, anyway), and I hear it's quite magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A personal favorite of mine, and I'm so looking forward to getting the 1:16 kit later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I do not. I just have some Osprey and Squadron stuff and a few bookmarked sites. OK. The book (as is the case with most Ryton titles that I've seen), is supposed to be a wonderful publication, and I'll hopefully be getting my copy this year sometime,... finally.
