Hi people.

Here's some shot of a Tamyia Kubelwagen I'm trying to turn into a damaged/crashed car. It will go in a dio about battle of Caen.

This is the first time I'm giving a try at modifying a kit, I hope it's not too bad. In my mind the Kubelwagen gets out of control and scratches all the left side before hitting the corner of house wall at low speed. From there I really don't know if the damages I've done are credible. I did tried to get pics of damaged kubelwagen but found none good. So if you have some please share it I'll be more than happy!

Basically I cut the left side wings and replaced with soda can aluminum covered with aluminum foil and finally worked with Squadron green putty. I removed a part of the hood and replace with soda can too. The left front tire will be flat. Still need to add the lights, mirror and stuff on the hood.





Appreciate the butcher job on this one!



Any comments very welcome.

considering the 'butcher job' I think it looks pretty good, should make into a good scene.

Keep up the good work,

James
