Hi is this GB still alive? If yes ok, otherwise I'm starting scratcbuilding my Fiat AR 59 anyway!!!
These are the pics of the real one





and this is where I got in a couple of hours of scratchbuilding. Very basic but it will get better soon...





It's a bit early but comments/criticism/suggestions are always most welcome!

Ciao



P.S.: it will be fitted wit a 106mm recoiless gun from Dragon so it will look kinda tank destroyer

Fabio.

Have to agree with Cliff as I love to watch you scratch guys put the white plastic, brass, and whatever else together to make some unique and interesting builds.

Are you scratching the entire vehicle, or is there a base model you are using for tires, etc, and then scratching needed items from there?

Keep us posted.

Steve

That's a great start and an interesting project !

I've built my Borgward for the TD and it's in the painting phase... so you're not the only one working on the TD group build !

Steve: the vehicle will be 100% scratchbuilt including wheels, suspensions, etc. The only bit from the market will be the 106mm recoiless gun from the Dragon's "Mule" kit. I've just started with the easy bits...

Penpen, good to see that I'm not the only one out there working on this GB. I wonder if we are the only two, it seems there was lots of potential subscribers to it with unusual subjects too...

Ciao and thanks everybody for the kind words
