To "celebrate" the occasion, a super-quick project:

Do you see that???

Well...

We have discussed in ML if this little girl was true or not ...
http://www.network54.com/Forum/47207/thread/1292491670/Real+or+fake---

I think that little monster (and the pic..) is true !!!


In my opinion, was a Renault tractor or an ammo carrier that has been converted by the Germans to an artillery observation vehicle, in the Russian Front

To protect the crew, I think the Germans welded a scrap turret available in your junkyard...

In the case, a conical turret from russian T26 light tank...Only my two cents !!!

But, as a poet said: "All worth it when the mind is not small ...."

So....


Let's build it:

Donors kits:


An "offical" 3 views draw:


A better image (I love the Photofiltre) for reference...


And I was like this:




And I'm getting this aspect:

Great job on an interesting subject

Fake or not....who cares...I like it....Well done Marcos....

You always manage to find the most interesting of subjects Marcos and this one's no exception. Very cool!

Hi Marcos. Fake or not, it really looks cool and is another very interesting vehicle to add to your collection. I like the grey used ... its got a subtle blue hue which looks the part. Nice one.

Thanks, Gents !!!!!

My intention was to finish this project in last weekend, but it was not possible.

On Sunday, the "hybrid-girl" should be ready ... I hope !!!

Stay tuned and thanks for the encouragement ....



Regards, from Brazil...

Well, Gents, this is the final step about this little girl:

In the last chapter, this pretty would go through a shower of dirt ....

But, our colleague Zisis Tsagarakis called my attention to a detail: the turret and gun mantlet are wrong !!!

Thanks, Zisis !!!

Well, as I don´t know any kit in 1/35 with this feature, it´s surgery time...
Dremel and a steady hand...
No fear and no retreat !!!


All obscene and shocking scenes are on my blog ... Extreme caution to watch ...

But the final is this:






Well, I would like to thank my colleagues who accompanied the build of this little monster ... In special: Zetman, who showed me a flaw that was unnoticed ....

All the best, from Brazil !!!
