H KBe careful with the gunmount. I had quite a lot of problems with it when building the early version. Refer to this buildlog bpmodels.net/Model/A..2/viewtopic.php?t=95

George BaconMaking a little progress, but the gun is just about the only interior part of the kit. I'd love to show it off, but to have open hatches I'll need to do a little scratch-building.

Fabian D.nice and clean so far...
that´s a point I dont get... why do they include the gunmount, but not the other interior? getting modellers to buy the AM-interior?

George BaconYou may be right Fabian 🙁. But the aftermarket stuff looks too expensive to me, especially for interior details that can only partly be seen. I just added a bunch of photos of my scratch-building attempts so far. 🙂

Fabian D.I´ve seen a modeller doing a destroyed Brummbär with chracked side amour plating, that model was worth the PE😉
But otherwise you´re right, and doing good... it´s often enough to show that there is something in, no need for beeing really accurate...😉

George BaconI'm pretty well done with interior scratch-building. Now to paint the innards.😉

George BaconThanks William! I'm just giving it a "lick and a promise" because it's going to be hard to see through the hatches. At least it should give the "feel" of the real thing 🙂.

George BaconFinished up the interior! Not much will show through the hatches once the roof's on, but a curious person with a little flashlight (like a model contest judge) should be satisfied. 🙂

Fabian D.Pretty damm nice job on the interior 👍
the ammo is the same as for the SiG-33, right? Maybe the snoopy judge with the flashlight will also claim that the fueses were aluminium, not red😉

George BaconFabian, you're right! I read they had both HE and AP shells. Not sure what color the AP were. I was betting on the "feng shui" of a splash of color over accuracy. Maybe I'll change that...😉

Fabian D.a bit sushi uhmm... whatever... is never a bad idea😉
But I´d say the differnece would have been shell itself, not the fuse... but that´s rather guessing than knowing....

Hunter CumminsThis is looking so good man

George BaconMartyn: Thanks! 🙂
Fabian: Made the shell fuses aluminum, but left a red ring.😉
Hunter: Glad you're back in action! 👍
Construction is done, now it's time to paint 😄

George BaconThere was a big problem getting the gun to fit into the ball-shaped mantlet. It took a lot of carving to get it to fit and seat properly. Fortunately, none of that is visible, once the gun is seated correctly.

George BaconUpdated some photos. Almost done, just need to paint the exterior details (tools, cables, exhaust, etc.) and add the wheels, tracks and skirts.

james johnsonPretty cool George, this thing even looks like a bear! I'm in, waiting to see it with the tracks mounted...............

George BaconThanks Bill! I don't usually like all the extra work of building an interior, but it was fun this time 🙂
