Scotties Bergpanzer Buffalo.

[Guest]

By the way, there are some interesting videos of these in action (minus the extra armour) if you search on YouTube for [ICODE]tractor pulling buffel[/ICODE]

Taking a peak…I got the slightly earlier version for steal (£55) - the interior is almost the same but the side doors can also be opened- this version is all enclosed by the armour pack. You still have 3 roof hatches to open - a fair bit will be seen I reckon.
Kudos to hobbyboss for doing the interior but I hear there are some dimensional issues - any way happy building!

The Interior does look pretty good. I may leave the added armour off so the side hatches can be left open. I will decide later.

Paul, watching this build with interest ready for when I start mine, such a pity they did not mould the doors on the extra armour pack open then we could have had more fun...

Then it will become the earlier version that you could have bought.

They are virtually the same (Bz3 vs Bz3a1) version aside from armour pack.

That being said it is an interesting looking sub-variant but there are no side doors on the a1. Access is through the top 3 hatches.

I still think you will be able to see enough interior to keep it interesting - although you may have to rework the rear hatch to model it open - strange though it seems they moulded a separate hatch but with fixed hinges in closed position!

You won't learn much from me mate. I wonder what the crews thought about having access ways closed by the armour?

Paul, I think you should see enough through the hatches. I'm glad that picture is with the floorplate up I would hate to add all that detail :tongue-out3:

dubious about the OOB part :tongue-out3:

Me too Andy he says that and lookout here comes the incredible details Lol

I have built the front spade and added some weld detail. Looking at the pictures they look to big so will probably remove these and redo them.





Or I could file them back a bit hopefully.

cheers

Welcome aboard mate.

Definately something different to your usual Paul, chair pulled up.

I follow along, even though I'm slightly dubious about the OOB part :tongue-out3:

Scottie, OOB. Like - Yeah Right, as if that's going to happen!!!!!

Paul what are you using to create your weld bead texture please ? I need to do some myself soon

I was thinking as much as but there’s enough to worry about as it is!
