Thought I'd share some pics of Tamiya's Mobelwagen I just finished for the Panzer IV Campaign. OOB build except for Kaizen tracks, a bit of PE for equipment clasps and some minor scratch details. Constructive criticisms welcomed!

Excellent build!

Super paint job and love the subtle weathering!

I actually appreciate the vehicle not being covered with
tons of mud, dust and all that other stuff.

Cheers,
Joe

Colin,

That's one of my favorite camo patterns!

I also love the subtle weathering and appreciate the vehicle not being horribly mucked up.

Another beautiful build, Colin!

Did you have any issues with the Kaizen tracks fitting the Tamiya sprockets? I did the older Tamiya Möbelwagen kit with the Flakvierling, and there was absolutely no way to make the kit sprockets mesh with Friul tracks. Had to go order Friul sprockets, which are of course sold separately.

Thanks guys!

Mark, absolutely no problem with the tracks fitting the Tamiya (or Dragon) sprockets, this is a newer Tamiya kit, it is only the older III/IV kits that have a fitment issue like yours.

Hi Colin,

Definitely great build. I like the flak gun arrangement and painting. Very nice job.

Regards
Giovanni

I actually built one about a month ago, but haven't done any weathering yet. Mine's done in similar camo (I think a lot of people go for this scheme) but a bit lighter as my airbrush was being a turd that day.

I would like to pick up a gun crew for it - don't know why they couldn't include one like they did for the Sd.Kfz 7/2 Flakvierling kit.

If you don't already have them, you need to build a Wirbelwind and an Ostwind to go with this; they look good together on the shelf.
