This is my third (and last!!) entry for this real fun campaign.
It's a 1:87 scale PzKpfw 38(t) Ausf. B from SDV models.
I build an Ausf C from SDV earlier (see the review here), and I noticed that although it are exactly the same kits and molds, the quality differs very, very much.
This one had very nice parts and clear molds. The C from the review was a dog to build...

I sanded the fenders much thinner so they could be placed in the right position. Further it was pretty much OOB.
The decals are a pain: each number has to applied differently and exist out of two parts: a red number and a white outlining, placed over eachother. It cost me much

The dio is made out of an IKEA plate (I come back on that in a review soon) and makes a very nice dio plate.
Hope you enjoy!

Paul

Beautifull dio Paul! I especially like the composition and the idea! And wow, 3 entries is quite an accomplishment, I wish I had more time to come up with some more entries as I catched the bug of braille scale again Plus I might visit IKEA quite soon

Cheers
