Hi,
Heres my entry for Spahwagen Abteilung. This is Tamiya's 232 8rad, an oldie but a real gem. Pretty straight forward build (no etch!) just 2 new jerry cans and an Archer flag.
Comments and critiques most welcome
Cheers
Joker

Great looking 8 rad! I like the weathering and chipping the way you deone it, not too, much not too little. Also your air recognition flag looks very convincing. Last thing would be the tool clamps in the front, its almost hard to belive theyre stock, out of the box!

Cheers

Ah Pedro, you caught me!, I forgot to mention that in my post.
No the tool clasps are not from the box just some bits of wire bent to shape, but I think that's it. I usually work on 5 or 6 pieces at a time so sometimes keeping the facts straight is a tough one.Thanks for keeping me in line.
MoJimbo, thanks for the kind words I think I'll just let this one stand on its own. I do have a Famo and trailer and maybe an 8 rad might look good on the back.
Cheers
