Good Morning, all, greetings from Pennsylvania!

A short while ago I reviewed a kit from Master Box Limited, The Pz-1A Ambulance Version...This review was an " In Box " review, and since publication, I have been building this kit, nearly 2/3rd finished as of this post, and I am in question of interest of other modelers at Armorama of a second review of this subject as a " Built " review...I have been documenting the building process with pic's and text and I need to know if you would like to see this review when finished. Many thanks to all for the interest of the first review. Please post answers, comments, and questions here...

Good Morning, all, greetings from France !

Hi Mark,

Of course you should post it !
I think it should be a goon thing to compare the 2 reviews.

I'm waiting for it

I'd like to see it as well

Pierre, Dave, here's some sneak peaks on the Pz-1A assembly...

That starts to look really good mate. Question: how did you get the Upperstructure fitting so nice on the lowerstructure. I have some hard time fitting this correctly on their Pz.befehlswagen didn`t you had any problems there with the Ambulance?

Gunny,
looks like it's coming on well mate only thing I can see wrong is the figure has laces in his boot's that this time I'm sure the tank crews were still waring jack boot's as part of the uniform

Good morning Faust...Just caught your reply, and yes, unfortunately I did have a small fit problem on the right side of the tank from the front view respectively, but it really wasn't that bad...I puttied and patched the upper before mounting it to the lowerstructure, and there was a minute gap in the lower front corner that took just a dab of Tamiya putty and a little sanding...Trust me when I tell you, I've had some major puttyfests with models throughout my lifetime, and so far this one isn't bad at all...Just a little more work to bring out the inner beauty of the subject. Did you check out the " Assembly " section on MB Ltd's website? If not, please do so, it will help alot!

Absolutely there are much worse kits on the market and I might not live that long yet but I have had some real putty parties too. I was just curious if you did encounter the same problems.
That assembly page of the MB site I had already seen but it is usefull to see where the hard parts are. So far I recognized all the problems in those pics in my own kit.

For me, build articles are the most useful. Please post it.

Say hey, Faust....Like I had said in the Pm to you the other day, Masterbox has recognized the casting problems of their first kits and are working to fix the problems...maybe an update sprue with more true fitting parts so I'm told...In 10 days MB Ltd. is releasing their next kit, " The Breda ", a Spanish Civil War Tank...It looks pretty cool...

Gunny

Yipee more Pz1's to buy :-) great as I'm sure that before there were only leadwarriors or mig conversions for this kit

Mikeli...Here's a little preview of The Breda if your interested...(sorry to go off topic, guys)...

Hey, Dave...Your absolutely right about the bootlaces Bro...It didn't even hit me while I was painting the figure but thanks for pointing it out to me...Maybe a little reshaping of the boots are in order, eh??

Gunny

Gunny,
Just to put you in the mood for Spanish panzers,
heres one I took a pic of yesterday,


look forwards to seeing a bit more done mate

WOW, That's Beautiful!!! Is that yours??? What a paintjob, dude...

Gunny

I wish! :-) :-) :-) :-)

No I took it at Telford model show yesterday

Howdy all,

Sorry I'm coming in at the back end of this thread, but the Spanish version looks dandy!
Do you have any of the same pics (finished) of the Pz-1A 'ambulance' version of Master Box's kit ??

Tread.

Sir Tread, in answer to your question, not yet Bro...at least not my model...I'm just now building the tracks, model is about 2/3rd done...will post finished pic's when complete...In the meantime, here is a finished pic from the Ukraine of this model.
