Zugkraftwagen 5t "Diana" Sd.Kfz.6/3 by Bronco 1/35

Close, but NOT the same. The one used in the Marder III (Panzerjäger 38(t) für 7.62cm PaK36(r)) is a modified gun designed to take the cartridge from a PaK-40 with the projectile of the 76.2mm Russian shell. It also has a double baffle muzzle brake installed. A bunch of other small changes were done to allow German sights and so on... this modified gun was also used on the Marder II (Panzer Selbstfahrlafette 1 für 7.62cm PaK36(r) auf Fahrgestell PzKpfw II, Ausf D1 und D2).
This is important to know as the ammunition does look different and is marked differently.
The F-22 gun on this vehicle, the SdKfz 6 mit 7.62 cm FK 36(r), uses the same ammunition as the F-34 76.2mm gun on the T-34 tank.
This is a great build and making me look at the kit in my stash.

That's a monster!
yeah, I'm liking the idea of being a Tamiya exclusive builder.
It's Friday YEEeeeeaaaaa :drinks
I was going to build the Diana pretty much right out of the box other than the axle mods but the storage box at the rear of the gun deck just screamed at me to do a little something extra so here goes.
The top level of the storage box is for personal gear. The second level for ammo and the third I think was for tool storage since there are none mounted on the exterior.
My urge was to show some ammo. The canvas cover flaps leave a lot to be desired.
First I cut out one of the compartments and also added a partition panel.
Next came the ammo racks to hold 8 rounds. The Diana carried 32 rounds so 4X8=32. :hmmm
For the canvas flaps I used the foil liner from a cigarett pack since it had some fine texture and the smooth side was cut out for tie belts.
When painted I think it will do nicely.
Have super great weekend everybody
