RoG 1/35 Tpz Fuchs German ISAF Mission

[Leopard2]

Ok, I decided to jump in on this GB. I decided on Revell of Germany's 1/35 Tpz Fuchs in German ISAF markings and possible desert camo(if I can find the right colors). It will be a straight OOB build with only the decals being aftermarket. I will post the pic with date this weekend since I will be out of town tomorrow and work on Saturday.

Good thing is that it doesn't have any PE.

Ok, I started...I took the sprues out of the bag.

I started to glue the doors, head light fixtures and and bow plate ( can't remember the name of the plate they raise when going swimming) to the upper hull. Next I glued upper and lower hull together...btw first time I used ProWeld. I filled a cpl sink holes on the lower part of the front with Pronto Kombi Putty (that is ready to sand in 2 hrs). Next I will have to fill the seams where the upper and lower hull are joined.

UPDATE: RoG 1/35 Tpz Fuchs German ISAF Mission

Here some pictures of my current progress. I started to add the suspension and the amphibious drive. There are a few big problems with the amphibious drive. 1. the instructions are mirrored switching left and right side and 2. the drive shafts to the propellers are way to short. But since they are mostly hidden I didn't bother with correcting it.

At this point I am not to happy with this kit. I am seriously thinking about substituting it with another kit. I have to see.

Hey hey...there's kids about..


Joe, what's the problem? You're more than welcome to take a mulligan if you'd like. I did it on the Prillers FW190.
