I couldn't paint my models for Best of British, Achtung Jabo and Paint me Yellow campaings last weekend because of compressor failure (about 10 years old Revell Alpha) so I started KETTENKRAD for Of Wheels and Tracks. I picked Dragon's kit no 6128 - Kettenkrad w/sch. Feldkable.

In the box are 7 sprues for vehicle, one of german weapons and one from Dragon's figure set no.6190 - "Frozen battleground,1941".



Build starts with engine assembling and at this stage I noticed that parts don't fit properly, are not aligned. It's not a big problem because engine shouldnt be visible in the end.
Here are pics of my work after two steps:

Wow, I can't wait to see you get trought the ketttenkrad ! ! !

The somewhat over complicated part breakdown kept me from building the one I bought a year ago. But maybe seeing you getting over it will help me to go on.

Keep up your work mate!

I hope this thread would be helpful, Philippe.
Here are pics of completed step 3 - sidewalls and front wall. After fitting side walls to the floor gaps between front wall and side walls occured, so some putty and sanding was needed.
