A long, long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away, I buy an AEC Dorchester ( from Panzer Resin Models ) in 1/35 scale.

This vehicle is awesome...
His robust style, typically English, always caught my attention...
And as I suspected that Large Companies do not inject this beauty, I ended up buying two of these girls ...
One, I build as Moritz, DAK, OOTB...

But the color and thickness of the sheets never satisfied me ...
But as I had another kit in the box, always promised myself that next, I would build better...
My intention was to build the "snouted" version of Dorchester, improving resin kit with some scratch ...

The construction began three months ago, and the whole thing was this:

But once I started building the new kit, more and more imperfections in the old kit (Afrika Korps) was bothering me ...
Result: dismantled the beast!


My wife nearly fainted on seeing the kit in my bench, dismantled...
(I'm a lucky guy: my wife loves my hobby ...)
When she asked why I had destroyed "...a kit ... so cute!", I responded with the bold slogan:
"Who dares wins!!"
I confess: I spoke in loud and clear to me calm, too ....
ehehehehehehehhehe
But since the thing was done, we face the stones ....
Improving the Moritz:

Side by side: Moritz and " future" Snouted:

Making the nose:

The canvas part was made with vegetable-paper:

The Snouted have a Big Nose, now... (and curved back..)
