Hi guys !!

With so much on the bench, I decided to go for a Build log of a small 4 wheel saloon.
The kit, it's the MB 35101 kit, Polizei-Kubelsitzwagen ab 1937

The Box art:





The sprues & instruction sheet:











I started right away with the engine parts,







It's a rather small kit, just to give a perspective, here's the main body next to a Panther F & Stug III



I'll keep a regular update on this one, stay tuned !!

Latest update.

Still working on the frame ( chassis & suspension ).

First impression, it's not an easy kit, some detail, plastic too crisp. The fitting isn't easy, lot's of clean up on some parts others are very good.
The instructions have some problems too, the part numbers are there but they do not show where they fit...
