Hey MrMox, how have you been? I certainly enjoyed seeing the work you did on the big T-34s.

So now you're working on an itty-bitty Borgward? You're already probably done with it, but I have some pictures from a friend which might help if you're not.

I believe these originated some where along the line, from the book Funklenkpanzer, A History of German Army Remote- and Radio-Controlled Armor Units by Markus Jaugitz, David Johnston...

Amazon: Funklenkpanzer

I believe these are all of Borgward B IV either A or B. I don't see a grill or firewall, but there isn't a very clear shot of that area. Maybe you can make sense of it...











Here's a good page with lots of exterior photos of them. Some Borgwards being in better shape than others...

Here's pics of one at Munster. Bonus! It has a couple of interior shots...

No interior shots, but here's another nice one...

How about the interior on this ultra-nice build? WOW!....

In that one, John Robinson mentions it was featured in Issue #24 of Military Miniatures In Review. He also says he used the Eduard set #35261 for details. Here's a pic of the set...



Geez...now you've got me wanting to build one.

Take care.

Karl

Nice work Karl!

I know the color shots from Munster, it looks like its fitted with an extra seat besides the driver ?

The other photoes are great - im not finished at all having been occupied with other things, but i want to and a little extra detail to the drivers compartment.

Its a nice little build - with individual links - but the fit on the bodyparts requieres a little care and some work with the knife.

Again - thanks!

Now we just wait for that Bronco Panther
