I expect so Tim, but Richard will need to rule on it.

Would the Wehrmacht's GOLIATH demolition vehicle qualify? According to Wikipedia, they were used principally by specialized Panzer and combat engineer units...
Tim,
Since demolitions falls under the purview of the combat engineer I'll give that one a big, fat thumbs up!
You're going to be able to get it done in time?

Hello!
Ever since my work progress on my project. I was able to assemble the machine body and painted it in the base color.
Here are some photos:
Now, the toughest job awaits me: the chassis.
Good luck. Kalin

Looking good Kalin. Mine is coming along very well too. Did not have the time to make that much progress you've shown. Will catch up this weekend I hope.

Progress...
Photos of my Sd.Kfz.251/7 Ausführung C.
Already added some paint here ad there. Little adjustments and some scratch building with the planking on the sides. The vehicle will be loaded with al kinds of material the crew gathered on their way that might become of use. One never knows...
More to come, I hope tomorrow.

Kalin, Robert, you guys are making nice progress. It is fun to look at different take on identical kits.

Robert, great work on Sd.Kfz.251 / 7. I look forward to the next inclusion. Good luck. Kalin
In the last photo I see something very familiar. I guess it's 10.5cm le.FH.18. Can I see her in the photo and who is the manufacturer?

Hi Kalin, Thanks for the kind words. The kit on the last photo is AFV Club.
Box Art is nice.
Canon is a nice but tricky kit. All comes very precise. Started (more than one year ago)and I hope to finish it before end of the year.
Still have to build the Sd.Kfz.11. I purchased the SKP 056 Maybach HL 42 engine (in my stash now), so it's ready for a good detailed build in 2020.
You can also purchase the canon as a single kit, I believe it's AFV Club 35035 - LeFH18 105mm.
Back to the bench,
Robert Jan:-H

I think so - this is a pretty simple rendition of a very small vehicle.
So I’m in with Alby’s 1/72 scale resin Goliath!

According to Wikipedia, the Leichter Ladungsträger Goliath (Goliath Light Charge Carrier) was a name given to two German Unmanned disposable demolition vehicles used during World War II. They were known as beetle tanks by the Allies.
Employed by the Wehrmacht during World War II, they carried 60 or 100 kilogrammes (130 or 220 lb) of high explosives, depending on the model, and were intended to be used for destroying tanks, disrupting dense infantry formations, and the demolition of buildings or bridges. Goliaths were single-use vehicles that were destroyed by the detonation of their warhead.
Here’s a picture of one at the Bovington Tank Museum next to my wife.
The Goliath is even smaller than it appears in this picture – my wife is only four feet eleven inches tall!

Let us know how tricky the build is Tim 
...and I thought your Renault FT was a small kit!
There were 2 types of Goliath, one battery electric and the other petrol powered. The kit is the electric one, your wife is next to the petrol powered type.

Thanks for those videos, Peter. Good thing that SU-85 was so cooperative!
I don't imagine this will be very tricky, the kit is simplicity itself –
only four resin parts!

The four-part model assembled quickly.
The only challenge was attaching the delicate wire control cable guide without breaking it!

Hi there!
I finished building the Sd.Kfz.251/7 Ausf.C and and it follows weathering. Here are some photos from my work progress.
To be continued.
Kalin
Tim, it's like jewel. Congratulations.

Looks good Kalin. I'm waiting for the tracks to come. I ordered AM from Model Kasten (set K-19) to replace the kit vinyl offering, see if that works for me. I got Friuls for this kit, but put them aside, they are a nightmare.
Kind regards,
Robert Jan

Thanks Peter.
And with a Grumbacher Raw Umber artist’s oil wash, the little Goliath is completed.
