Good thing this is a simple kit.

Cheers

I am interested in this one as I have always wondered what the Emhar kits were like.

They're a pretty basic simple build for their 1/35 scale tanks. They do NOT have any running gear wheels save for the drive sprockets and Idler wheels. The tracks are multi-lengths that can be glued together with liquid styrene cement. When built the tank looks the part though.

Here's an image of my Mk. IV female, my Mk. IV Male and my Mk. 1A Whippet all Emhar 1/35 scale.

Some progress on this tank.

The left side sponson will be Female and the right side sponson will be Male. I'll add the sponsons after the hull sides are attached to the main body.

The main body is nearly done with the two cabins assembled and cemented to the top. Note that these Emhar 1/35 scale models ONLY have the four wheels = two drive and two idler. That really simplifies things.

One thing that Emhar 1/35 scale tanks don't have are locating pins for most of the sub-assemblies. In fact the only locating pins I see on this kit are the ones for the drive and idler wheels. therefor one must be very careful in lining things up.

Main body, right side panel, left Female sponson and right Male sponson.

The same but also showing the track segments. The track segments can be glued with liquid cement.

Am on the home stretch with this at last. Just need to clean up a few parts and cement them in place and it's done except for painting, weathering and putting it on a base.

Here's where it's at now.

Well my friends it's nearly done.

Got the base paint on it today and separately painted the muffler and exhaust that goes on the roof.

I'm debating about putting on the cargo rack at the rear of the body between the tracks. I found images of that rack on SUPPLY tanks (minus their armament) but none on a combat tank.

Right side = Male

Rear view showing cargo rack. This goes on an I=beam that fits between the hull haves and would be attached to the bottom L-beam. The rack is foldable in real life thus I'd need to add the shackles and chains.

Will start the final colour painting tomorrow, then the weathering and building a base for it.

Thanks.

That's Krylon Sand(?) that I used for the base coat. I like it because it drys to the touch in just 10 - 15 minutes and doesn't stink up my bachelor apartment when I bring the model back inside from wherever I painted it.

Cheers
