Hi Friends.
At last !,I been get,to put this pictures in the right place.
Is an old Bandai kit,Panzer IV.Ausf.D.The "diorama" was designed
many,many years ago,in one Spanish Model Magazine,about in 1987.
The tank was estraight from the box with some extras and details.
The commander and germans soldiers was designed directly for the
"dio" in Milliput epoxy putty ,the weaponry and equipemment was repro-
duced in metal.
Its apleasrure to share in this section (l love,1/48 scale) this old work.
Enjoy it !!.
Tomas

Hello,again.
I forget a comment.All the "dio" was painted with
Enamels.
Cheers.

Wow Tomas, that is an excellent piece of work. Those figures look great, and all that detail in 1:48... Superb.
Only nitpick that I spotted is the lack of air grilles on the rear deck, but other than that the detail is very good.
A very smart diorama, thanks for showing it.
Cheers

that kit is 30 years old, they didn't have grills for it . It's great to see one of those old Bandai kits in a diorama. I built a dozen or so of them which I still have. Loved the full interiors with the seats, engine and turret. I've still got 4 or 5 left to build. So many kits so little time so many great camapaigns !

Wow! Did you sculpt the figures?
I have almost the complete collection of Bandai 1/48, and even with the new crop of 1/48 AFVs, enjoy these oldies. You've seen Tamiya's new 1/48 WH and US figures, I assume?

Thanks for the heads up Steve. My comment was not meant as a critisism, I realise that this is an old kit. Maybe I should have tried to re-phrase 'nitpick' .. .
Do these kits come with an interior? I'm even more impressed.. Time to start trawling eBay again.. .
Cheers

When I bought Tamiya's Stug lll I took my old Bandai lVD off the shelf and stripped it to repaint it to eventually use in a diorama with the Stug. Even though it is some 30 yrs old, I think it has finer detailing than Tamiya.
