discussion Mannschaftstransportwagen Magirus ARW

[Neo]

Greetings! I am a lucky man. Now I have one copy of Leadwarrior's limited edition of full resin kit. This is Mannschaftstransportwagen Magirus ARW . Very rare and beautiful armored car. I will try to make some corrections with welds and extra details on a hull. I hope it will be interesting.

Another one of those weird-looking 1930s armoured cars — nice

Looks quite “Flash Gordon” doesn’t it....should be a good one....l

I agree. Some vehicles looks like sportcars.

Hope so. Much work ahead.

I agree. Some vehicles looks like sportcars.

Especially in the photo without turret. If they hadn’t fitted those flat vertical plates, you’d think it was some kind of strange 8×8 civilian car.

I see welds on this photos. So I have decided to make them. It was a difficult decision because it is quite hard to do welds in a such places. On a hull I make some grooves for putty.

I've decided to glue some plastic below and cut off a little stripes of plastic which would be filled by putty later.

Evening Artyom,

I'll sit in and watch this beauty come together. Alix does make some really cool kits and they are so well cast too. Is there really a lot that needs correcting? Or are you going to super detail this besides making the welds? I think his resin is real nice to work with and with no air bubbles at all....Have fun!!!

Looking forward to a great build .

Hello, Allen! The kit is very good. No complaints about quality at all. And it is a great opportunety to build such car. As for details. I usually try to do my best with all kits. So we will see all extra in the final. I will do welds but I don't know what will be after. I have to look closer at the old photos.

I have had to sacrifice historicity of air intake. I've decided to make it my way. Unfortunateluy no historical photos of this joint at all. So my version is possible I think. I will add some wels later.

 

[Neo]

Some WIP. Almost all extra details i do by myself. It's more attractive and all those details in resin have quite poor detalization.
