A quick update regarding my progress. Although I have been sidetracked by my Pzr IV conversion, my Tank Terror entry is slowly taking shape..
I will paint the tracks next, and after I glue the assembly to the hull I'll finish the main paint job. This one will mainly be having a winter white wash. (appologies to the fast show)

.


Cheers

Thanks Gunny, watch this space...
Easy co, yes it's the Italieri kit. Goes together very well and I like the 'link and lenght' tracks, they beat rubberband ones every time.
Cheers

Henk,
Looks good so far. I think the Italeri kits are excellent value for money, any one I have built goes together nicely. I love the way these half track anti-tank guns look!!
Looking forward to more views

Henk -
Looks great so far. As others, I'm anxious to see more when you get farther along. I like the choice of subject as well. do you have plans on adding a crew? I'm still in the initial build and gathering stages for my Dragon Jagdpanther. My "Ardennes Campaign" diorama is more involved so most of recent focus is to get that project going. Hope I can complete both without sacrificing effort on either one, we'll see.

Blade48mrd,
yes there will be some crew with it. I will use the Flak vierling crew in wintergear for it. Not the best set, but as there will be plenty of snow and vegetation on my vignette, I'll cope with that.
Cheers

Chad, there's bound to be some info about these machines, but to be honest, I have not looked for any in this instance. I'm going largly by what it says in the instructions, It was a lash-up which was used on the East Front. For this project that will do. It's a cheap and cheerful kit, and I'm building this purely for the look of it, not historical accuracy.
Cheers
