Dennis, Beautiful work! You are making some fantastic progress. Thank you for sharing your photos, though I am sorry for your loss. I am sure your Grandfather would be very proud of you bringing his history to life in such a manner. Sincerely, Tom

Outstanding work! I really enjoy working in this scale—and your build shows just how much detail you can add. Will you be using the kit tracks, or aftermarket? Cheers, Tom

Thank you! That is very flattering, and the best that I can aspire to. It was fun getting this one dirty. Certainly an arena for creativity! Cheers, Tom

Thanks Martin! It was fun to finish. Hope you are doing well! Cheers, Tom

Thanks! Military vehicles of several nations in Afghanistan used them to hold glow sticks at night. Pretty ingenious! Cheers, Tom

You rock star you! Cheers, Tom

Barry, Stellar work. You have taken scratchbuilding this tank to a whole new level, and your photos here are just the tip of the iceberg! Rock on! Cheers, Tom

Thanks Maru! Cheers, Tom

Fantastic work! This is a great subject, and Tamiya makes this as a 1/16 scale RC version if you are so inclined! Cheers, Tom

This looks epic! Great subject, and I know you can do this. Cheers, Tom

Thanks for the kind comments! I’m glad I saw this one through. Cheers, Tom

Thanks Brian! Trumpeter released it several years ago as a Dutch version then later the German counterpart. The Fennek is definitely a charismatic vehicle! Cheers, Tom

This is the Trumpeter 1/35 Fennek, in service with the German Army in Afghanistan. The kit is extremely detailed, with a virtually complete unseen interior. Fit is generally good, but why have one sprue attachment point when three will work? In other words, lot's of cleanup! In any case, this was a fun build of a very charismatic subject. I added the anti-slip texture, lead foil belts, the side window shades, the front wheel brush guards, and the tow cable. I also used custom mixed Tamiya paints and DES wheels. Cheers, Tom

Excellent job! Cheers, Tom

Welcome back! Absolutely amazing build and graphics! Cheers, Tom
