Two models from the Revell 1/72 scale SdKfz7 kit. One is almost OOB, the other has a Milicast Bilstein crane fitted.
Both are pretty good kits, although some parts like the guns etc are a bit clumsy compared to more modern efforts. The worst part of the kit - the tracks by a long way - too loose and the joining faces are too thick leading to a step when joined.

Dave, nice builds you've got there. They look good, although the tracks do let them down. The crane looks excellent!

Thanks for the comments guys. The crane was suposed to be on a truck. It was so badly cast (obviously an old kit as Milicast are nowadays amongst the best) that I had to rebuild the jib and it's supports from sprue & wire.
My 1st "Armorama's Finest" entry is under way, then I'm back on the braille scale stuff for more entries here!

Hey, for being small scale, IMHO these turned out pretty good. Nice job.
