Build #2 - Dragon Sdkfz 166 Brumbar

This is the Dragon 1/72 kit. Won't be the same pace as my first build. :silly: :gogo

Lots of detail in this kit but very fiddly and vague instruction manual.

You finished yet?

Have you started yet? :pp
Not really Daddy's taxi service keeps me bussy

So glad I'm past the Daddy taxi service days. Though the husband taxi service is alive and well.

So progress pics to show y'all I'm not slacking. Still have to hang all the brackets for the side plates and fix the gap in the front armor plate then we'll be ready for some paint.

I mentioned earlier that the instructions were vague. I'll edit that by saying the instructions are downright misleading. A couple pieces have the part number labelled wrong and two important pieces aren't even mentioned in the instructions. :idonno

That is sweet! Way to go man; this is one Dragon Braille Scale kit I've never built. Looking forward to seeing more.
 
That gap in front went away! Good job!
I'm always astounded that Tank models get put almost all the way together before paint hits them. :idonno
Er siet GroBartig aus!
 
I'm always astounded too Rhino. However, that is not the way I usually do it. Especially with this one and the side skirts. Road wheels were painted separate too because of the way Dragon molded the hub separate from the wheels.

Anyway, here she is in her separate assemblies with the base coat. Road wheels were glued on after paint.

And her she is dry fitted back together. I'll glue everything after the tracks are on. A few more fiddly bit to add after I'm done manhandling it.

Tracks and fiddly bits are all on. Just the whip antennae to go on at the very end. Camo went on relatively smoothly. Love it when the airbrush mostly cooperates. :D

Just finished putting a clear coat on (after these photos were taken). Decals and a wash tonight and I should be able to wrap it up tomorrow.
