Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance

Thanks Tim, I found this pic on the i-net and it will be the guide that I'll work to for building up the interior elements of the model. Sorta a one page wordless destruction sheet......it's about all you get in this scale so am happy to get it for reference.

Hi Jim....first time scribing out anything in resin. I'm glad it worked out. My back-up plan was to make new doors from scratch using the old ones as a template if they got damaged to the point of being unusable. Thanks for coming by Jim. :thumb2:

....and a good shot of the spare tire mounting. Some excellent work.

Just saw this Rick. Nice microsurgery Bro!!! Resin isn't really too bad if you take your time and be careful. That is gonna look real sweet with some interior inside too!!! Keep it coming...

Thanks Paul, I know there was more than one way they stored the spares on these Ambulances.......I've seen them stowed under body, left or right quarter and one on each quarter panel......I guess it's a case of the "druthers", I'druther have it here than over there.

Rick,
Great work removing the doors, very neatly done. You will have no problems with the interior given your scratchery skills at this size.

Thanks Allen, This is one of the most important elements in my dio, so it has to look the part. I'll be spending a great deal of time on the interior as I need to get it to a believable level. More on the way.:thumb2:

Bless you for that Scottie, Just trying to do the darn thing the best I can......much prefer plastic to resin, but sometimes you have to bleed in order to heal.....something like that anyway.

Exhausting effort on the doors got me prepared for the "Real" exhaust so this is now scratched off the list of "to do" items Still a long way to go.

You are doing micro surgery in 1/87 scale while I am struggling with 1/9 scale !! Guess I need to borrow your hands and eyes. :smiling: .

You wouldn't like 'em......the left hand has tremors and I squint a lot without the Magnifier! :nerd:

Well, it had to happen sooner or later...........I am beginning to find all the little inaccuracies in this now, less than "perfect" resin model. The bulkhead between the driver's seat and casualty compartment was hollow at the base. This would stick out like a sore thumb when viewed from the back with the doors open. .005 sheet and covered up.....easy fix! The most glaring oversight was the omission of the slight lip or overhang of the roof line above the windshield.....yeah, I probably could have ignored it but I think it's an improvement and lends to the overall appearance of the vehicle. What say you?:thinking:

[minitnkr]

Good catch & fix.

Thanks buddy.....pm coming your way. :thumb2:

Definitely better Rick. Assume the bonnet grills are separate?
