Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance
This is moving very slowly....I've been working out the logistics of the interior fittings, based on the limited supply of materials available. The channel strips for the stretcher racks are grossly oversized, but its the smallest available so I'm stuck with it. Looks a little clumsy but will...- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance
Sorry for the lack of updates, been trying to work out the stretcher rack and crew seating. So while mulling that over, I decided I needed to finish up the doors and windows minus the clear stuff. The window crank on the back door is located and installed and I have the various privacy panels...- Mini Me

A little more from the "ridiculous scale" modeler :tears-of-joy: ;) The original vehicle, as you can see in the photo (for ref. only) has a roof rack on it as well as narrowly spaced boards to help support the load carried on it. I knew I couldn't stick this together with CA as it set so...- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance
Not much to show for progress. The rear doors are all but finished I just need to make a window crank for the right hand door....apparently it was a functional window. I also made a false floor out of styrene for the back of this vehicle so I can build the stretcher rack and the bench that...- Mini Me

Not a whole lot to look at here.....got the hitch located, built a back step and installed the grenade screens on the windows and back doors. I'll continue on with more interior details....I just hope I can keep from damaging what I've already built. A very delicate thing this Granit!- Mini Me

Would that were true Mr. Marlow. another glaring discrepancy to be dealt with....I haven't mentioned it before because I was hoping someone would notice. Keen eye Sir! I do have a remedy but it will take place later on in the build, just before paint flies. I have a set of Archer water slide...- Mini Me

Well, it had to happen sooner or later...........I am beginning to find all the little inaccuracies in this now, less than "perfect" resin model. The bulkhead between the driver's seat and casualty compartment was hollow at the base. This would stick out like a sore thumb when viewed from the...- Mini Me

Iwo Jima 1-32 Scale
Hi Neil, Well for a first article it looks pretty good.....I did notice the "obvious" discrepancies as you did, I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but thought I would mention it and let you decide if you want to make changes or not. The Marine is equipped with an M1 Carbine that has...- Mini Me

Thanks Tim, I found this pic on the i-net and it will be the guide that I'll work to for building up the interior elements of the model. Sorta a one page wordless destruction sheet......it's about all you get in this scale so am happy to get it for reference.- Mini Me

Here's the latest.......I wasn't sure about this when I started this project, because the whole thing depends on getting the ambulance rear doors opened up to load casualties onto the JU to get 'em out of "Dodge". So I set to work with just a little more than trepidation. Using the old...- Mini Me

Howdy, I used some .010X.018 inch brass and formed some support straps for the underside of my newly resurfaced running board.....stiffened it right up. etched brass safety tread will not be necessary, I checked my reference material and it wasn't present on the original so it's good to go...- Mini Me

And here's the first update....the driver's side running board is the product of a stingy pour. it came out about .005 inch thinner than its opposite. built up with a strip of .005 styrene and CA to hold . when this has set up I will be adding styrene underbracing to both running boards and...- Mini Me
