Sd.Kfz. 253 le Beob.Pz.Wg.

^^^ That's just short in German for a Light Observation armoured car.

These kind of vehicles were used as forward observation vehicles in artillery units in WW2.
Mine will be from a Sturmgeschütz unit on the Eastern Front,as Stugs were under command of the artillery not the Panzerwaffe,tank arm.

No magic?

I see a lot of sprue attachment cleaning in your future. :java

Or a lot of weather after assembly.

Either way, I'll be watching.

Right,...very small progress,because I dropped my model in early stage on the floor.
The hooks at the front side broke in the crash,and I was only able to find back one broken hook.
Frustration a go go!

So I will canibalizise this old 20+ years conversion kit of Rommel's Greif.It damaged,as it is,so why not.I can use the towing hooks from this one for the "Beob". :hmmm :

I will stuggle along with this one!
Thanks for dropping by.

Gr,Ron.

Not that much time for modelling,but there is a bit of progress non the less.

Well,I did run into some problems with this build.On the modelclub night me or someone else didn't had tape with them,so I couldn't properly hold kit parts together.
And later on that came back to bite me in my shiny metal S. :stinker

So I had to fix the problem of not well glued kit parts that were not properly in line.Had to use a lot of putty, and filing and sanding was a must.Also I had to cut parts of the radio rack and the fire extinguisher inside of the vehicle to fit the roof plate.

Oh well,I see on the photo's I have to do some patch up work.

Thanks for dropping by!

Gr,Ron.
