Can anyone lend some help please. I am attempting to scratch build a panzerwerfer 42. I would be gratefull of any advise and help, especially if anyone has any pictures or scale plans.

Thankyou

Why scratch build when Italeri has a kit out there of this kit ..I think it might be out of production right now but I'm sure there might be a few sitting around on store shelves somewhere. Look at royal models for a super update set for this kit and you should be on your way.

Lt-Shutz,
Scratch build out of what? wood? clay?

Would have to agree with The Bear on this one. Italeri has a version that can be bought cheaply. This can be improved by using brass tubes instead of the plastic tubes and new wiring instead of the moulded plastic wiring. Ask in the buy and sell section. Theres a good chance someone will have one to sell or will point you in the right direction.

thanks guys for your sugestions, I just like scratch building. just a change from constructing run of the mill kits. I am using the chassis of an Opel Maultier for the running gear, thought I'd have a bash at building the rest myself. Any reference material would be of help
Thanks

Large foto , so I post a link...
