Another update. Need to apply decals, weather and mud. Need to finish driver. I have been having a more difficult time with this kit. I may be rushing a bit.

I got a good start on my Puma,I can't believe the detail of the suspension alone,and the interior is pretty detailed also,too bad a lot of this detail will be hidden.But things are going good,and it should be a fun kit.

My Kübelwagen is in hold out at the moment because of Lets get small -campaign. I have managed to get some glue stains and scratches to windscreen plus have managed to break of the windshield with it´s frame three times! Last time it happened, it was seconds away throwing it to wall.... It wont be a good kit to show.

Well, my project, the Heller Opel Blitz with Verlinden Workshop, took a dive off the workbench last night.
Lots of little parts, and mangled photo etched parts scattered around the work shop.

Started rebuilding it tonight, using sheet plastic to replace twisted, bent, and missing photo etched parts.

I guess it's just been a totally bad week for me.

Here are a couple pictures of my finished jeep. I took them with my cell phone so the quality is not so good.

Finally have my WC finished, or at least to the point I don't want to mess with it any more.




I saw that Italeri has just re-issued the WC54 ambulance. That would be a nice project for anyone else looking at joining the campaign.

Russ,

That looks really good. Is that a Tamyia kit? Just wondering because the pose of the soldier looks the same as in my Jeep.

Hello everyone,

I was going to ask the site admins about the gallery, but then I changed my ISP and guess what happened... I can't connect to international sites. They are working to resolve the issue (seems like a group of IPs cannot reach international servers), but until then Armorama is pretty much unavailable to me. Sorry for the resulting delay.

I'll let you know if and when the galleries are available.

Hi
Must have been crazy when I decided to build a Vac-Form kit. KraftWagen KFZ63
Driving me mad .
So many pieces that you need to source or scratch build. I've taken very few pic's as the progress is slow, but I'm getting there.
Worst part is there are No Front Wheel Arches supplied with the kit. Got to sort something out going to see if I can pinch some from another kit.
Oh well the Joys of modelling
