The watchers

[Guest]

Ok guys i have decided to join in on this, my last idea was becoming a little too complicated so i've opted for something simple but effective. The kit i have chosen is Tamiyas sdkfz 232 panzerspahwagen 8-rad, iam not quite sure of the paint scheme yet so i've went for a choice of 2, early 1941 or Kursk 1943.

Hi Scott, that looks like a really good model of the Rad. I can't say too much mor because I'm viewing this on my iPhone and I'll have to have a good look when I get home. Glad to have you on the GB, that's some damned speedy work you've done!!!

Scott mate, did it just roll out the box like that!!!! its only taken you a day to get it together!! i know tamiya are good but this ones built itself!! Seriously though , thats a great looking model its going to look superb when its painted,, keep the pics coming , cheers tony

[Guest]

Hi tony you know what they say about japanese tech it literally builds itself lol, but no it wasn't a particularly taxing kit to build being 35 years old but it did go together easy and very well no filler required at all. Besides Roy castle said it well dedications what you need. cheers for viewing and glad you approve.

35 year old kit!

Jeezus, just goes to show how far ahead Tamiya were back then. With the barrel and photoetch that kit is bang up to date. Do you have anything planned for the RAD or will it be a stand alone model?

Paul

[Guest]

Hi paul i think i have a little something planned, will still have to work out the specifics though.

[Guest]

Oooh a rad, nice.

Good to see they did an upgrade on the kit with PE and barrel.

Lovely.

Hi ade yeah they have added a few extras i thought i'd do this as i have not seen anyone build one of these so i thought it was a little different.
