discussion 1/87 scale Hummel battery rebuild

[minitnkr]

Finally found another Hummel. These are getting rare at any price. This will join my Hummel battery elements as #16, the fifth Hummel in the element as #1 is down for repairs. Here we are some hours in after disassembly/cleanup, drill out lift hooks, add flat black & dirty black paint, and add spare track holder, shovel, jack block, spare bogie wheels, crew kit and MG ammo cans & holder.




Candidates to add

Made some progress today. Almost ready for decals, then final finishes.

Waiting for Hauler PE MKIV tracks & another crew member to complete this. I also can't find my stash of WWII German cable ends for the tow cable.

ROCO tracks prepped to accept Hauler PE. Track PE installed but not painted. Sorry for poor quality pics.
