Due to my usual health issues i have done bugger all for a few weeks and when i have the urge its too damn hot!
But made a start on my first 'paper panzer, the Panzerkleinzerstorer or for short the Rutscher. Designed by BMW and Weserhutte. Two man crew, fast, very low, tiny and quick and cheap to build, however planned with thin armour!
this made it to the wooden mock up but was dropped in favour of the Hetzer in 1944 but restarted in in early 1945
The gun was a smooth-bore cannon capable of firing fin-stabilized anti-tank shaped charge projectiles, about all i can find not sure why two barells
Not a lot in the box, only 3 sprues plus book etc
Made a start on the hull which is in three parts, a lot of flash and tidying to do which being a new kit was annoying!
Finally the heat stopped play, off to stick head in freezer and the rest in the fridge :angry:
