1/87 Hummel battery on the march

Thank you gentlemen. Yeah, laid out these great yellow decals for the group & ran out or lost them so decided to just do the ones that count for the sides. PaulE

Some of my confusion was caused by the change in artillery marking standards from alpha to numeric to the 3 numeric armor std. due to the proliferation of self propelled arty. over time and the over painting and lack of markings in my photographic literature. This was my compromise due to my current lack of resources. PaulE

Paul,
All looking up to your normal great standards.

Thanks Scottie. I prolly should put a rule in my pics to show scale as these are taken from a few inches away. Ammo carrier. PaulE

Those who know appreciate the closeness of these shots. Needless to say much work has gone into the construction of this ammo carrier. The tracks are very interesting as they do not resemble the Roco Standard. What is the source of your ammo canisters, were they scratch built? Nice work overall, love it. Rick H.

Thanks. The tracks have been upgraded w/Hauler etch. They make brass track for Pzr IVs, Vs, 38ts I think, & various Russian tanks. Out of the spares box. They are late mold ROCO PzrIV external air cleaners cut up. PaulE

Very resourceful, and a great result. Looking forward to more! Rick H.

Next we'll see what the guys in tross can do when a run-of-the-mill 165 munitions wagon is in for tranny work & upper OKs adding some sting. PaulE

Plain Jane ammo carrier w/ trans sorted ready for stinger. C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Brass tracks ! Would like to know more on those Paul.
Agree with a photo including a ruler to give us some idea of really the size of these brilliant models.

[minitnkr]

Hauler Models does all kinda stuff in many scales. They have an e-store & Hannants carries their line. Shown are 1/87 examples for ROCO PzrIV & T72. PaulE

Drilling & reloads installed. Wicker ammo containers? Next I'll try an early Hummel version based on the Nashorn. C&Cs welcome. PaulE

Need to touch up gunner & rear plate.

Nice to give the old Bee a little sting! X3 I like it! Rick H.

Thanks Paul.:thumb2:
Not a bad idea, they look more to scale being in PE .

ROCO 15cm howitzer & ROCO Nashorn plus a lot of details, kit & crew mashed together to represent an early Hummel. Just noticed I'll need to patch the hole in the recuperator. Currently deciding on camo or not. Opinions? C&Cs encouraged. PaulE
