Impressive job Roy ! AFAIK, Panzer Shop kits are not for those with a limited budget either

nice build indeed and a super finish to a rather obscure subject. shame this kit is out of price range for many as it looks like a fun piece. cheers, bd.

Nice build!
I'm really hoping it's only a matter of time before kits like this are available in styrene
cheers
One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.

Masterful job Roy. Just finished viewing the blog, it is a veritable instruction manual for constructing this project. Very grateful for that. Have always been fond of this vehicle and its relative the ditcher/trencher thing (BAT ??). Too many great prospective projects out there.

Very nice build! Congrats for finishing that one, I know what it means (featured it in 2007):
https://armorama.kitmaker.net//features/1857As I see your vehicle it looks like you decided to go for a non-soviet version (as I did)? What were your resources (pics etc.?)
I only can say: I'm happy to see another one building these nice vehicles!
