Adam Baker: Befehlsjager 38 (Complete!)

[Adam Baker]

Here's my entry, DML's 1/35 Befehlsjager 38 Ausf.M. Right now the plan is for this to be built purely out of box. I've not looked for any detail bits, and dont really plan on it.

Had thought that this had started already, but then noticed it doesnt start till Monday, so I'll update this pic on Monday when I get started.

Also Adam, and everyone else, remember the rules on this, specifically rule 3. This helps when gathering completed builds for the drawings.

Ok, here's my official start images, since the ones I posted Friday were slightly premature.

Just a small update, to show my progress so far.

Basically the components for the drivers & engine compartments are assembled, working on cleaning up seams and mold lines and that kind of thing.

Everything test fit together.

I've done some research and found out that the Befehlsjager is exactly the same as a Marder III Ausf. M, w/ just the addition of radio gear, to be used as a commanders vehicle.

I'd originally planned on just building this OOB, but I've decided to try adding detail, since some places are pretty sparse, so I want to add to it. I've done some looking around at aftermarket parts, and found quite a few, but I just dont have the budget for it, so I'm going to stuck to styrene rod & sheet and wire for my detailing.

Not wasting any time are ya Adam

Haha, I suppose not. Thankfully so far its been pretty easy. Not looking forward to dealing w/ the suspension though, looks real finicky and fairly easy to screw up when gluing it together.

Moving right along Adam.

Very nice! I didn't know this kit had a interior(ie and engine)

 

[Adam Baker]

Adam Baker: DML 1/35 Befehlsjager 38 Ausf.M

Yea, I was a bit surprised by that myself. I plan on having the hatches for the drivers & engine compartments open to show them off, so I'm going to add what detail I can.

I found a build of this kit on another forum, and the guy who did it attached all the engine components to a sheet of styrene to allow him to have the room to detail the engine, and then paint it all w/o it being inside the hull, I'm planning on attempting the same thing. We'll see how it goes.

Good idea with the interior on the card.
