Si-B’s Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 10 Ausf. A + Dragon 10.5 cm leFH18/40
Thanks for your kind support gents :thumb2: So as was mentioned, the 5cm ammo boxes on the fenders were incorrect for the gun as I had decided to swop it. As the boxes had been mounted on to photo etch pieces, they came off quite easily….just had to use a little CA remover to clean it all up...- Si Benson

Si-B’s Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 10 Ausf. A + Dragon 10.5 cm leFH18/40
The eagle eyed among you would of spotted the Sd-kfz 10 came with a 5cm Pak 38 but I had the 10.5cm leFh 18/40 in the stash and wanted to use that instead. It seems I forgot to take more pictures of the assembly :upside: It was a pretty simple build but Dragons instructions threw up a couple...- Si Benson

We then move on to tracks. Lovely engineering on these and being Dragons ‘magic’ type they are all snipped and bagged ready for assembly. Used Revell contacta glue for its viscosity as the pad placement holds the links together and you need to be careful or the tracks won’t articulate...- Si Benson

Si-B’s Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 10 Ausf. A + Dragon 10.5 cm leFH18/40
Gradually added more of the interior parts. There was some butchering careful adjusting needed for seat placement (see second picture) as the passengers side fouled on drive shaft parts….no big issue. At this point fenders and wheel arches went on. A bit fiddly requiring plenty of dry fit...- Si Benson

Si-B’s Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 10 Ausf. A + Dragon 10.5 cm leFH18/40
I admit I ditched the instructions at some point and built some of the sub assemblies up starting with engine/gearbox. Some parts where quite small!!- Si Benson

Si-B’s Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 10 Ausf. A + Dragon 10.5 cm leFH18/40
Assembly started with wheels. The kit gives you two options of front wheels and I liked the look of the layer type. The sprockets are also multiple part with some great engineering and detail.- Si Benson

Si B’s Dragon 1/72 M142 High mobile artillery rocket system
Appreciate the feedback gents :thumb2: Still a bit more paint and weathering to do yet…..the enamel based stuff takes a while to dry and I like to add layers to build it up rather then slap it all on in one go. I used some Tamiya smoke (X-19) on the window areas to tone them down. Never tried...- Si Benson
