Greetings to all forum members.
I want to show you this kit that I just finished building and is ready to paint:
páginas de fotos
The vehicle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche as an artillery tractor to be used on the eastern front and construction was entrusted to Skoda. It was a poor performance vehicle, with low speed and power and high fuel consumption, so they were built just over 200 units, all used on the western front.
The kit belongs to Riich Models and its scale is 1/35. The level of detail is very good, with a very good fit of parts. The instructions are very clear and bring a couple of color plates for the painting phase.
With this model, I also used for the first time two new paint products for me. The base paint is the classic Dunkelgelb, but this time it's from Mission Models. It covers very well and leaves almost no residue on the airbrush. The matte finish is very even and smooth. For the motor and cable I used the acrylic Metal Color de Vallejo. The finish is glossy and homogeneous and, although designed for use with airbrush, can be applied very well with a brush.
I will soon show photos of the finished model.
Greetings and many thanks to the forum.

The interior "weathering" is super.
Looking forward to following this build.

Juan, looking great so far !
Michael, thank you for the link to your awesome, inspiring build.
I was going to use the ICM Magirus S330 for the transportation GB to use as a delivery truck on my Braueri dio. But, the coolness factor of the Skoda is swaying my choice!
Thanks guys for sharing your hard work with us !

Very nice Juan.
Very interesting where you (masked ?) the location for the interior shell while you painted.
I assume for a clean area to glue...
Cant wait to see this one finished.

Juan,
Very nice finish. I must say that is one strange looking vehicle.
