What's on the bench 2022

Took today off from work, started this Dragon Sdkfz. 250/7 Alte . (Mortar carrier)
The front resin wheels are Panzer Art , I believe, had them loose in the parts box.

The correct term is “Ausführung A” :) For some reason, publications a long time ago started calling the Ausf. A alt (“old”) and the Ausf. B, neu (“new”) but the actual German designations were simply in line with how they designated production variants/improvements of other vehicle types.

The model looks good, better than the old Tamiya kit even though that wasn’t bad in itself, certainly not for its time.
 
Nice beginning Ron.....oob or do you have something up your sleeve? ;)
Hi Rick, this kit has the engine included so I'm going to detail that a bit, but otherwise OOB. I'm really wanting to move on to the painting finishing stage. I love the assembly aspect immensely but tend to get hung up prior to getting much painting done.
Oh and this one is the first I think where I haven't glued the wheels/track runs in place yet. Ive always just painted everything already in place.

Yep, ya got me there Jakko. Dragon had identified thiis accurately on the kit box, my mistake then.

That's looking the business Ron :)
Lovely kit judging by the pics.... Any Bourbon involved in the assembly so far ?! ;)

Love the "baby tigers", who seemed to punch above their weight class.
 
Is that anything like Surfing with the Alien (Silver Surfer) by Joe Satriani?

Er, no Paul…..Silver machine has a certain Ian Kilminster on vocals……Hawkwind are a blue print for his later band. Satriani is a virtuoso guitarist, but unfortunately I find him rather dull…..
 
If you don’t have it, run, don’t walk, to the store and buy Space Ritual live. It’s far and away thier best album :thumb2: Tim I just looked up Sonic Attack over on Youtube, Man !! Th.g at video is awesome !!
