Best of British, that looks confusing...

Thank Monica....... There is an aftermarket engine kit for these things.....MAYBACH HL42..... The manufacturer is Great Wall Hobby -kit number: L3522

John is going to get me the Engine kit...... So I can build this with the Engine panels open....... and the driver peering inside trying to work out why it won't start??????


Might need a bit of tweaking to get it in there.... But I'll manage.

Nice start Peter

I agree with the toss them in the parts bin idea. I never bother with unseen stuff myself. But then again Im probably gonna start doing things like that just because I haven't in the past. Totally your call , I will be watching this one. best of luck with the instructions.

Thanks Chris........

I'm watching too Peter,


it's a shame about all that stuff being there and then covering it up! And the destructions as you call em looks very confusing.


I suppose you could leave the floor pan out and do a semi work/ maintenance job on it but it may cause you annoyance/ headaches detailing and wiring gears etc ( I Would go personally with the buttoned up floor and as others suggest do more on interior ( just a suggestion )


Looking good so far


Robert

that's a great idea Peter,do you have the link to were to get them plz, ? as I still have two.,others as well,


so to have one showing the engine would be a nice idea,


one is a dragon one so meany bits I keep putting it back at the bottom of the pile lol,


like my strange looking thing i made ,if it had a hull I,could make a whole other one,


and that's some think dragon should do sell lower hulls,so all theses bits can be used for some think,

I'm not sure where you'll get one in Australia...... They are made by Great Wall Hobby Co, China...... I found a link for Perth Model Centre with a big write up on it....... But I don't seem to be able to copy the link. If Google Great Wall Hobby L3522 ...... it is the second record........ Perth military modelling.

ta for looking Peter much appreciated,,


noted them both down so I will have a look after my afternoon kip,


did the gardening and lawn,and made some saw horses,but no


time to sit and paint today on not-fair,

[takeslousyphotos]

The lower hull and suspension is all in one piece now.......... Next, I'll clean up the and assemble the wheels. Then those and the hull can have some primer.

Is obvious why it won't start, the mechanic is struggling with the g.a. Drawings haha. I'm sure you will pull it off though, no worries.


The leg bones connected to the throttle body, the throttle body's connected to the main gun...

I love the 251 and all its variations. Here are a few colour schemes for you.

Thanks Scott............I think the bottom one ( Brown on grey) was already my choice Scott....... After a lot of research I think that was a camo pattern used by 9th Panzer division during the invasion of Greece....... The kit has decals for 9th ......'Although it seems that German camo was so varied throughout WWII that there is no right or wrong way to do it........ different guidelines / directives were issued at different times and those were interpreted differently by the crews depending on what they considered best for survivability and the availability of materials...... it's all a bit woolly
