Well I never did get the kit that I ordered on eBay. However it looks like I might get my money refunded. So I purchased another Tamiya M8 Armored Car through Squadron Mail Order. I have been dealing with them for years and have always been happy with the results. So hopefully it will arrive early next week as I am anxious to get started on it. Hopefully I will be able to post some in-progress photos soon.

My Tamiya M8 Armored Car arrived from Squadron Mail Order. I thought I would post a photo of it before I start working on it.



I hope to have some progress photos to share soon.

PS. I did get a full refund on my eBay deal.

So far I have finished building my Hotchkiss in German colors (with Wurfrahmen 40 Rocket launchers attached, Trumpeter style), and a German Renault UE is under painting with the same Wurfrahmen 40 rockets attached. (I guess it's always French, and always rockets...)
If I have time, I'll build another UE with a 3.8cmPaK (leftover from the DML 251 kit -with what else? The Wurfrahmen 40 rockets...)

Does anybody have any references on how these rockets were wired?

On a sidenote: the fit of the Trumpeter tank was terrible... Most of the time their models rock, but this one was a major headache. The Mirage Hobby UE on the other hand proved to be a nice, easy-to-build kit. The only issues were with the correct alignment of the rollers and the tiny, soft indi tracks. The size of the rockets are different, though. I think, Mirage Hobby undersized them a bit.

Actually, I have had a lot of spare time recently; my jerk of a boss didnt think that having a hypothyroid condition was reason enough for me to have dizzy spells that he construed as me sleeping on the job, so I was put on administartive leave. He felt like a complete jack-as in front of his boss and reps from HR when I brought in medical documentation that refuted his claims, and I had to be reimbursed for all the time I missed. So basically, I got paid to build models for a couple of days!

With all that being said, I will now report that my T-34 is essentially built. I need to prime it out and spit and polish it, but I'm essentially done with the initial phase. Of course, now I face building the base, trees, ground cover, water, extra figures in the scene, etc, so I wont be done for quite a long while.

I like that DML T-34, that was a nice clean build, not a lot of difficult procedures. Of course, Im saying that after building the DML Marder II, so........

Great work on the T-34, post pics if you can, I'm sure plenty are waiting to see them.How was the Marder II build?

Hopefully, i'll have pictures in the next couple of days. the Marder II?? Really was a challenge; a whole lot more pieces than the T-34 or even the King Tiger. I almost gave up out of frustration, but stepped away for a few weeks, and when I came back, it all sort of fell together.

Did not take pictures during the build. It is the Tamiya M4A3 with added turret cheek armour, sandshield strips and road wheels on the rear hull. Captured from the U.S., refurbished , shipped to the east and captured by the Russians just before wars end.
Hope you like it as this is the first multi-tone cam pattern I have sprayed in years




Futured, decaled and weathering started.
Hope you like it so far as it is the first multi-tone cam pattern I have sprayed in years !

I only asked as I have that kit awaiting its turn along with the CH update for it and had noticed that they both looked to be fairly complicated.
It just goes to show that leaving something alone for a while can make all the difference.

Oh yeah, definately! IMNSHO, it is the hardest thing I've built so far, but it was well worth the effort, even if my results were less than stellar! If I were you? Take the time to detail the radio kit with wires, headset, etc. it makes a lot of difference if you add on all the little bells and whistles.
