Hello,
this is my first post here. I haven't been very active in Armorama as mainly been postin to Planetarmor.
Anyway, this is what I've built last week. Sorry about somewhat sporadic approach but I tend to build my kits jumping from place to another. Kit is DML's new ones. I have to say that Dragon has really improved it's quality in last years.
Kit is missing shürzen so I added them from aluminium. Also lot of late features are missing so added like bolt holes around hatches and handles to front covers.
I try to post more as project goes along. Please don't hesitate to comment or ask
Thanks for looking,
Niko

Hi,
I painted first some of the parts as afterwards some of the places may be hard to reach.
I will post pics more as more will be ready. Whole vehicle is still in pieces
And, I forgot to mention that this is 1/72 scale.

Hi,
this is DML kit 7293. Kit you mentioned, I don't to which you refer. And yes, all details are scratch built and there is not yet PE set for this little beast
Thanks for looking,

Hi,
a small update to this. I added numbering as per Aber instruction sheet. Numbers were made of stretched sprue and glued with excellent Tamiya glue.
As periscope holes are way too big, I narrowed them.

Very nice work, especially given that it's 1/72. I would not have guessed. The numbers are a nice touch. I'd sand them down just a tad though.
