Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack

[Guest]

by my reckoning that’s at least a minimum of two hundred and seventy-five individual clean up steps EACH SIDE! :face-with-head-bandage:

This is why, these days, I clean up a bunch of track links every so often while working on the rest of the model. It’s far easier to get through them that way than by “having” to do them all at the same time because it’s the only thing holding up finishing the model.

Beautifully clean work going on here Los. Superb research as well. Top stuff :thumb2:

Thanks Tim

This is a sane man talking. A great tip indeed Jakko :thumb2: I think after the relatively smooth and rapid assemblage of the T-Rex tracks, I found these a bit of a chore

Some excellent skills on display.

No updates on the SWS this week as I endeavour to complete a shelf queen Panther.

Cool kit, great research and a good start, personally I'd go for the open schlepper body, i recall seeing a blurry pic of one with a PaK 43/41 in tow '45
...... which would be my way forward.
Carry on good sir

Not decided on a particular image to simulate as yet.

Some ideas.

Los, Great progress on this vehicle. I have always liked the armored version but was discouraged from modeling them because of scale deficiencies and just plain inaccurate model manufacturing. Also the lack of any real data on the development of these vehicles left me in a quandary as to what I would need to do to correct the models I have.......could you provide information as to any books and or photo archives you used in your research? TIA Rick H.
I did see the ref to N&B 41......any others?

[Panzerwrecker]

Outstanding!

Thanks Andrew

Thanks for the pics Paul. I have just been looking at the top pic. I think towing an artillery piece would go nice but with the projects mounting up, It looks like I will probably just model it solo.

Panzer Tracts No.22-23 gives production #s, detailed construction & finished photos, scale drawings of the different versions, even showing the three different road wheels used.

Thanks Paul.......looking for both pubs. currently.

[minitnkr]

It's just one pub combining both sdkfz7 & sWS

Panzer Tracts 22-4 is just the Sd.Kfz 7. 22-3 covers the Sd.Kfz 6 and has the SWS suppliment in it
