Hello to all…

I return to the forum with this new project, which represents the conversion of a TPz1 “FUCHS” A6 ABC Alemán a M93A1 “FOX” used in IRAQ.
Although such conversion does not contain great representative changes… the work is in the great correction, relocation and scale of details of kit selected: a TPz1 in scale 1/35 of company/signature REVELL… who, to my form to see, if it paid more attention to him to the subject to enrich and to represent of correct form the details would stop being manufacturer of “little toys” to be the manufacturing house of models on scale; That that almost represents modern models that nobody paid attention at the time of injecting them.
But good, “ES LO QUE HAY”… And since one, does of this a hobbie… adding the desire to him to have in exhibition this outstanding vehicle…
Here I present/display the constructive process to them of the mentioned car, that is in 1/3 of such stage… and that for labor reasons, goes surely slow but… to its inevitable end.

A HUG, as always… CARLOS,
and Sorry for my bad and limited english…

Nice work! Have you seen the conversion in On Display part one. It's the same vehicle, but then in Afghanistan. I'm myself gonna start a scratchbuildproject soon, so I'll keep watching this.

Lars

I was hoping you would start this soon, good start your hard work will really pay off

Really great Carlos As usual with your projects
cheers
Seb

Thanks my friends for its commentaries…. Shortly, more photos

CARLOS... from AFV MODEL ART

Good… here there is a little more in the advances of the mentioned AFV. It goes slow, because of crossing photos and preserving details… but it goes. As they see, the made modifications begin to define differences between “German FUCHS” and “FOX”…

PD. Lamento mucho la desprolijidad definida por tanto uso de masilla para la corrección, entre otros... sumado a que el color del plástico no favorece en lo más mínimo.
Pero en fin, les prometo que todo será ocultado con un buen esquema de colores...

Nice scratch work

Very interesting conversion, Carlos. You are certainly putting a lot of work into it!

Solo tengo una sugerencia--creo que el angulo de los lanzagranadas de humo es demasiado agudo. Mirando las fotos que tengo, los lanzagranadas estan puestos en una posicion un poco mas horizontal y un poco mas abajo.

Donde consiguio el esquema para el techo del FOX? No he visto ningun diagrama de esa area del FOX americano. Me interesaria mucho ver sus fotos de referencia o recibirlas por correo electronico.

(Por favor perdoneme la pobre puntuacion, pero mi sistema no tiene la capacidad de generar tildes.)

Hola Lucas…

The configuration of the superior part belongs to the British version’s “FOX”… since it never mentions that he is American’s “FOX”.
Soon I send the photos to you…

Here... some more photos

Seb

Super work!

I never realise how much work is put into scratchbuilding.

Lars

Hey Carlos

What can I say...... I'm speechless. Great scratch project, always love to see when a model is made so realistic in the building fase and so much scratch work is added. You're model almost looks like a snowfuchs with all that putty
How did you make the anti skid surfaces, is that sanding paper??

Keep us updated please

Cheers Roel

It's coming along very nicely, Carlos. Sorry for mixing it up with the US Fox!

Good… Here I leave the last photos them of the weekend advances. In them already the pieces and/or parts can be appreciated that define the nationality of the afv which I am trying to represent used in the OIF by the British Real Forces that used it like recognition vehicle during Operation TELIC in 2003 in the invasion to Iraq.

Nice work Carlos

Very nice progress, Carlos. I really like the look of your tow cables.

Some more photos...










En estas dos tomas se muestra la leve inclinación de 4° que tendrá el vehíBIP respecto al suelo representando un brusco "U-Turn" con su dirección sobre las 4 ruedas frontales. Esto me llevo a modificar el sistema de amortiguadores comprimiendo uno de los lados.





SALUDOS, Carlos

Carlos nice work!. I like the coil springs on the suspension.

whats with the miss alined axels?

.

Jaymes--Carlos is building the vehicle for a diorama in which it will be doing a tight U-turn at speed, so he compressed one side of the suspension to represent the body lean of the vehcile when it turns at high speeds.

Bueno... con esta ultima tanda finalizo el armadode este TPz1 Britanico. El fin de semana comienzo a pintarlo...
Saludos...











.

Este fin de semana largamos con la pintura... Como verán, luego de tantos recortes de plastico y lavados con masilla, la cosa mejoro un poco con la primer mano en su color base…,
