Panzer I Ausf. A

[Tim A.]

Ok, the 1/16 Das Werks Panzer III J arrived from Andy's Hobby Headquarters. Just a size comparison between the hull of it and the 1/16 Panzer I.

 

[Steve Ski]

Oh wow, huge!!!!!!!!!

Oh wow, huge!!!!!!!!!

I was a little shocked myself.

I have both the Das Werk Pzkfw III J and Sturmgeshutz III in 1/16th. They are quite nice. You are going to make me build a 1/16th kit once I finish my 410 aren't you.

Just do it

Adding the jack block, light and other parts to the hull rear. Also glued the deck on. So far things are fitting well.

The basic build is done, minus tools and tow cable. I still have to build the Aber brass MG 13 machine guns.
This model will be all about the paint. I'm going for a 10th Division Panzer in France, 1940.

Very clean build, not a hint of troubles.

Very clean build, not a hint of troubles. Had to sand and tweak some parts, but overall

Had to tweak some parts to fit, but overall everything went together well.

A couple of Pzkpfw I's with the covered light. One bogged down during a pre-war exercise.

Another after the Oct 1939 change from the all white or yellow cross to the Luftwaffe style cross. Some units ommitted the central black bars. It also has the Notek light so it could be an upgraded or later series Ausf A.

Cheers,

That went together fairly quickly Tim!

I have to admit, you tweaked me to start one of my 1/16th Das Werk kits. I am working on the Pak 40 kit as a starter. It will then be follower either with the 234 or the 251/1

Eine kleine Panzerwagen! Or "Little Big Tank". Very cool!

Thanks for the pics! I decided to keep the blackout cover on the center one and leave the ditch lights uncovered.

I've got the 1/16 Das Werk Panzer III up next. A completely different animal.

I have that kit and I like the looks of it. The Das Werk SdKfz 251 Hanomag half-tracks put it to shame as they have "everything". Thus am starting with the Pak 40 to go with the 251 and getting a feel for the Das Werk plastic, instructions and build order.
