This kit is like phucking a real tight virgin... It hurts but you wanna make it fit...🙁
28 May 2015, 06:45

The mayhem starts again this evening!😄 Thanks Mike but you dont should look closer...
28 May 2015, 11:13

So battle has begun with a tight metaphor about virgins....
With much gnashing of teeth & chafing........ Like a soggy pearl.....
28 May 2015, 11:53

...
Confucius say " virginity just like balloon, one prick goes Pop!!! "...
28 May 2015, 12:46

Vogan poetry I assume ? 😄
Anyhow you are to kind but I don't call them poems, I call them squeezings.... 😄
28 May 2015, 13:38

Holger, ich erinnere mich noch an Deine Worte in Munster am Stand von MR. Den muss ich haben... 🙂 Viel Glück mit dem Teil!
28 May 2015, 19:30

Den Unimog habe ich auch hier, allerdings wird da etwas brachialeres draus... 😄 Bin gespannt, was du daraus machst!
28 May 2015, 20:46

@Jonns: Er wird daraus das machen, wofür der Unimog sein kann: Eine San-Kiste.
29 May 2015, 07:21

Mir ging es eher wegen der Qualität des Bausatzes. Meiner sieht gruselig aus (was nicht nur an dem noch gruseligerem Grün liegt)😉
29 May 2015, 07:49

;-D
Irgendwie macht ihr mir Angst. Ich habe den Bausatz plus Umbausatz auch noch zuhause und wollte ihn eigentlich auch irgendwann mal bauen...
29 May 2015, 08:07

Ich muß da leider beipflichten... Der Revell Bausatz ist die Pest in Pappe... Die locatorpins sind entweder nicht da, zu dick oder total vergossen. Und die Löcher für die Pins sind entweder zu klein oder nicht vorhanden... Es ist ein wahrer Albtraum... Allein schon die ganze Getriebegeschichte passt vorne und hinten nicht... Und dann noch die Frechheit keine Seitenscheiben und Heckscheiben beizulegen, finde ich schon krass. Man kann nur ne Sommerversion bauen.
29 May 2015, 09:20

Wie? Was? Wo liegen keine Seiten- und Heckscheiben bei?? Beim Revell-Bausatz oder beim Umbausatz?
29 May 2015, 09:57

Beim Revell Satz liegt nur die Frontscheibe bei und die kleinen scheiben in den Türen. Die zum Hochkurbeln fehlen und die Heckscheibe ebenfalls...
29 May 2015, 10:02

Iih, das ist ja doof.
Sind beim Umbausatz eigentlich die Fensterplatten für ABC-Alarm beigelegt?
29 May 2015, 11:39

Du meinst die Platten vor den Fenstern zum Tarnen? Nö, leider nicht...
29 May 2015, 11:46

Muss an also auch in Eigenregie bauen.........
Waren die nur zum Tarnen? Was man so in 23 Jahren alles vergisst.
29 May 2015, 11:51

Gegen ABC hätte das nicht viel geschafft😄! Sind Schlitze drin! Aber Du hast Recht, wäre echt cool wenn man den KrKw komplett tarnen könnte.
29 May 2015, 12:18

exactly ! 😄
My German is largely inadequate, I catch bits here and there but not enough,
Anyhow, I was trying to be funny, I'll do better next time I promise 😄
29 May 2015, 13:40

Holger and me talking about some plates on the windows of the Mediccompartment on the back of the Unimog. We both drove or saw this truck in our tour of duty as Medics at the German Army. I thought, the plates where for ABC-Cover (Chemical Warfare), but truely, they where for camouflage. I forgot this case in the last 23 years since my Armytime.
29 May 2015, 13:44

...
@Arne... I do😢 been following the conversation to help improve my German. Although I'm not familiar with that particular kit you speak of, or the Revell kit Holly speaks of, I've never ever been a Revell Kit fan. The problems Holly speaks of extend over to my choice of build too. I am also not keen on their choice of Styrene, too soft! although someone told me it has improved somewhat recently. I do use their Contacta Glue and other such products though, which I like a lot...
29 May 2015, 13:52

Revell have made some nice kits though, the new tool 1/32 Spit, their 1/32 Hawk I like, 1/72 B17 is quite good too etc. But yeah, there is some right dogs within there range 😄
29 May 2015, 13:56

I have that Revell Unimog kit in my stash but not the conversion set. I'll follow this one, maybe I can learn something here and there.
29 May 2015, 15:11

Welcome guys!
I added some new images to show the progress from yesterday evening. It is just a Bad kit but assembled, it looks not so bad🙂
30 May 2015, 06:30

Thanks Mike! When i mentioned all the issues, im glad for every further step! The basic construction is done, now i'm starting the cabin.
30 May 2015, 13:47

true, but I always see it as a good chance to practice etc.
for some people it works really well, especially at cutting in two colours next to each other neatly etc.
For me i get tidier results painting everything separately, I'll often do a lot of painting on the sprue and do little touch ups during assembly.
But building lots in one go is quicker and I can see the appeal 🙂
30 May 2015, 15:59

Quick is good but in this case i was hurrying too much... Just broke the gearknob... Now i build it new from streched sprue and the muzzle of a MG 3.I hope it will convince!
30 May 2015, 17:37

Please dont be sad that i dont write much because i am online via my mobile and i hate this kind of typing...😢
30 May 2015, 17:39

According to your information it seems to me this is not snap together kit, but it comes out really nice so far. Looking forward to your progress on the cabin!
31 May 2015, 18:04

Chassis looks detailed, shame to cover it up. have you added some scratch built parts, like the springs ?
10 June 2015, 18:12

Snap Fit? Oh no!😢
Thanks for the comments, guys!
I added some progress pix to show on what a "good" kit im working...
And i unfortunately have to repeat me... This is a creepy, nasty and phucked up kit... The only thing that fits are the sprues to the box... And crisp details have only the drawings in the instructions...
But i will not Quit!
I will Beat Revells attempts to drive me crazy and nuts!😢
And to be honest, the resin parts seem to be challeging as well...
10 June 2015, 18:13

Dat is Pain in the ass model building and my frustration growes every Minute more, just as my will to get it straight!😄
10 June 2015, 18:52

Ich hab Dir doch mal nen Vacu geschickt... Bau den mal ,dann wirst Deinen Unimog lieben...🙂
10 June 2015, 19:05

Ach das Ding ist also Deine Prüfung an mich? 😄
Und ich dachte den hast du mir geschickt weil du mich magst!😄😄
10 June 2015, 19:08

saaaache mal...
Ich habe mich noch nie mit dem KrKW beschäftigt, ist da die Anordnung des Schaltknüppels etc. tatsächlich unterschiedlich zum "normalen" 2to gl? Oder hat Revell da wieder mal künstlerische Freiheit walten lassen?
10 June 2015, 19:10

Moin Christian!
Da ich unglücklicherweise erst nach dem anbringen des Schalt Knüppel und der Feststellbremse in meine Referenzen geschaut habe, kann ich dir sagen dass sich Revell dort wieder einmal eine vollkommen künstlerische Freiheit genommen hat!
Da unterscheidet sich der KrKW In keinster Weise von einem normalen zwei Tonner!
10 June 2015, 19:16

🙂 Es würde mich schon interessieren was Du daraus machst. Ich persönlich bin mir ja auch für fast nix zu schade, aber das Teil ist wirklich eine echte Geduldsprüfung. And BTW... Natürlich mag ich Dich !
10 June 2015, 19:18

Hab´ ich befürchtet... Wenn Du noch Bilder benötigst kann ich vielleicht helfen, ich habe (noch) zwei 2to mit Kabine im Bestand 🙂
10 June 2015, 19:20

Herr Meyerhoff, selbstverständlich ist mir gewahr, dass sie vielleicht eine gewisse Sympathie für mich hegen😢
Und auf so eine, am Zeppelin hängende Curtiss hätte ich schon Lust!
Ich weiß nur nicht in wie fern dieses Projekt eventuell meine Nerven belastet und ich in eine Kur gehen müsste...😄
10 June 2015, 19:26

Christian, das ein oder andere Foto von den Anschnallgurten würde meinem Gedächtnis sicherlich wieder auf die Sprünge helfen!
10 June 2015, 19:27

Das war genau die Antwort die erwartete! Hau rein Mann !
Die Curtiss ist aber von Pegasus und in Spritzguss. Ich glaube da war aber noch son "Kracher" von Intermodell.
10 June 2015, 19:28

Jo, kann man schnell mal mit Verpackungsmaterial verwechseln...
10 June 2015, 19:37

Bist du auch so zufrieden mit der Qualität? 😉 Von der Inneneinrichtung sieht man von meiner Version recht wenig... freue mich schon darauf, das Fahrwerk fertig zu machen und höher zu legen 😭
[img1]
[img2]
10 June 2015, 20:23

Zynismus und Ironie an:
Aber selbstverständlich bin ich mit der Qualität und der gebotenen Leistung mehr als zufrieden!
Der Innenraum gestaltet sich mit vorzüglichen Details! Und gerade die Liebe zum Detail fällt hier besonders auf! Hier haben sich die Formen Bauer wirklich ein Monument geschaffen
Verdammte Scheiße ich könnte kotzen!😄
10 June 2015, 20:29

hehe, ich liebe besonders die Fischhäute an den Kleinteilen, da kommt richtig Bastelfreude auf 😄
10 June 2015, 20:34

Skalpell über Skalpell ist mir stumpf geworden beim Entfernen dieser Häute...😄
10 June 2015, 20:47

Fischhäute und Auswerfermarken werten diesen Bausatz doch nur noch auf!😢
10 June 2015, 20:50

ich glaube ich fange parallel den Gama Goat von Tamiya an. Nur um zu sehen, wie sich ein Bausatz anfühlen kann😉
10 June 2015, 21:18

G´Day Mike!
"Fit" is a word i would not use in this case... The question is, how carefully i have to use a hammer...😢
11 June 2015, 06:29

The kit comes directly from a meltdown of 3 dying nuclear power plants...😉
11 June 2015, 06:48

You´ve got it, Jonns! This kit was molded by satan in the fires of hades to proove how motivation works with mortals... LOL 😄
11 June 2015, 06:51

Mike, when you´ve been nice and not a naughty Boy, you got sprues from a fresh mold!😢
11 June 2015, 08:04

Holger, it isn´t a work of Satan. It is a examination of God. If you stand it, you can enter the next level of your unholy life!
11 June 2015, 08:04

Michael, you're a real tough guy! This can only make a man from down under!😉
11 June 2015, 08:06

What is the brass thing on the dashboard on pic 17? I don´t remember that in my KrKw.
11 June 2015, 08:07

Ah, ok. Thank you, Steve. But how I wrote: I don´t remember that thing
11 June 2015, 10:32

...
Personally, I think Holly scratchbuilt it, it's not part of the kit!!!
11 June 2015, 10:34

To enlighten you guys, yes Steve is right. The twisted wire with the black tip is a scratch build map light. I remember it very well in my Unimog. I used it mostly at night on exercises to find my beer can in the dark cabin. The other brass Thing at the steering wheel is a cover to camoflage for the lights of the Dashboard while driving at night. I plan to add some pe harness and then Comes colour in the game...😢
11 June 2015, 11:47

The cover over the Dashboardlights was blue plastic, I remember. On my Unimog, there was absolutly no alcohol, but a lot of chocolates bars and a cassette player for the music, mostly Springsteen.
11 June 2015, 12:15

My Unimog was never "real medical aid" only the vehicle, recruits trained on. Chocolate and Music was Standard!8)
11 June 2015, 12:30

Hey Holger! Finally found the time to build something 😉 😛 I will follow this one closely
11 June 2015, 13:48

You are welcome, Hunter! And you are right, i found time to act at the bench, just a lovely Feeling! 🙂
11 June 2015, 13:59

Listen to these tough old "Grunts". Chocolate indeed, and scented toilet rolls too.??? LOL 🙂
11 June 2015, 14:11

@Kerry The Unimog was a good partner in cold, cold winter on the Harz Mountains. Maybe you know them, Kerry. ;-D They are full of fairytales.
11 June 2015, 14:26

Full of trolls more likely, asking people on life's journey what their favourite colour is. Mwah ha ha ha ha 🙂
But yes, I do know the Unimog and it's ability to go anywhere in all conditions.:-8
A most versatile little beast.🙂
I am also wondering just how old this kit is, as there seems to be a LOT of dramas with it mate. !!! :-/
11 June 2015, 19:22

I dont know how old the kit is but i found a Swastika on the sprues...LOL😭😢
11 June 2015, 20:07

Can't really believe what I read here. Is this kit really that bad ???? It's thrue you don't see them often on tables and in contests but is this the kit's fault or lack of interest?
11 June 2015, 20:08

@ Kerry: lmfoa too!😢
@ Eric: there are sometimes subjects you really have an relationship to. You really want to make that model. You know the real thing and worked with it. You want to replicate it as it was because you love it!
Thats my approach with this unimog...
I lived in it for weeks and fell in love with it...
But now i Face the ugly truth with this kit...
Remember your worst kit and duplicate the Horror... Than you know how this build is. Nothing-really nothing fits or is delicate in detail...
Sorry to say this but its my personal "most hated kit"
11 June 2015, 20:22

I can almost hear you thumping the table as you said it 🙂
But this where the skill kicks in, resolving all these things a lesser modeller might not be able to......
You been drinking Heineken ? 😄
11 June 2015, 20:25

Choppy, please allow me to say: there are no "lesser modelers". They are only Youngster or not so experianced...😢
And no, im drinking Jever not heineken but its a good brew!😄
11 June 2015, 20:32

No, not any, Cliff. 🙁 There are a lot of beers, they are not good. Königspilsner, Köstritzer, Wilkenburger, THEY are good! But all other....no! ;-D
12 June 2015, 08:45

Holger:
Magst Du die Bilder ggf. mal drehen?
Meine Frau guckt schon komisch, weil ich mit dem Kopf auf dem Tisch liege, um alles "richtig rum" sehen zu können...😉
12 June 2015, 09:12

Das sind halt die Hochkantfotografierer... die dann merken, dass das Anschaumedium Querformat hat😉 😛
12 June 2015, 09:24

Ja, dass mit den Bildern nervt mich ja selbst😄 Werde Abhilfe schaffen!
12 June 2015, 09:38

Hatte den Bausatz auch schon mal in der Hand und habe ihn dann irgendwann entnervt in die Tonne befördert. Wünsch dir gutes Durchhalten. Die Resinteile sehen ja klasse aus!
12 June 2015, 10:15

Ich danke Dir für die "motivierenden" Worte, Ingmar! From time to time i rattle with the trash can to show the kit that i´m seriously pissed off!😉
12 June 2015, 10:26

Paint a Voodoo face on the trash can, that'll scare bad kits into behaving😉
..as for beers re. my gag on Heineken was supposed to reference that old advert about how it reaches parts others can't and thus allows you to overcome certain challenges, like a bad kit 🙂
Anyhow, it's probably even less funny now......
12 June 2015, 13:09

Holger, on Pic 19 the hood looks like it is damage. Is that a mistake of me, or is correct?
12 June 2015, 14:49

I do not know when I've ever used so much glue on a model 😉 Jetzt habe ich auch mal das Fahrwerk fertig...! Ich halte noch durch, Holger! 😄 [img1]
12 June 2015, 16:20

Arne, the whole cab is twisted, warped and partly damaged. It came from the box in that condition. Im thinking of calling Abteilung X...
12 June 2015, 17:46

Also verzogen war sie nicht, allerdings die Kanten um die Fenster musste ich alle schleifen. Die waren unsauber gegossen.
Arne, ja, die Räder sind von einem US-Militarytruck, die Federn selbst gemacht, ebenso die Panzerung
12 June 2015, 18:32

A Kleenex role directly under the table? Yeah, if you are always alone in modeling so long...😉 😄
12 June 2015, 19:12

...
Listen enough!!! that is Holly's toilet roll, we all now know his Modelling seat is his LOO!!!
12 June 2015, 20:20

And if we zoom the camera back a bit and we can see Holly has catered for every contingency and convenience.......... 😄
[img1]
12 June 2015, 20:47

Ich habe bei meinem Kit das gleiche Problem: die Kabine ist gestaucht. Offenbar hat Revell da echt Probleme mit der Stabilität ihrer Kartons.
24 June 2015, 12:50

also das du da ein UFO what-if baust, kam mir gar nicht in den Sinn! Klasse!
24 June 2015, 15:05

@Thomas: Yep, seems as Revell has some serious problems with the cabindoor...
@ all: I plan to leave the doors open, i´m not in the mood for sanding.... My girl is here and i have a lot more things to do than filling & sanding!😢
26 June 2015, 07:27

Btw, i can recommend the "Bronzegrün" Revell acrylicpaint! The colourtone is really good and diluted with some water its some nice paint to work with!
26 June 2015, 07:29

...
Hi Unk... That is a Photo-etch bender!!! Cost is about £50, but once you've spent it and used it, you won't regret getting it😢😢😢
5 August 2015, 10:36

Oh yes, that bending tool is a wonderful thing! I would rather give a ball then give that tool away😄
5 August 2015, 11:13

I´m still waiting for a decalsheet (or better a new kit from a manufracturer😠) to proceed the build. But ist still on my production line/bench!
5 August 2015, 12:35

Nope, Arne, stencils and additional tactical insignia. I Need something very uncommon and thats not provided in the Sheets, i have.
5 August 2015, 13:22

Ah ok. If I build my kit, I want to build the same vehicle, I drove during my duty. So I need the license plate of "my" truck. How can I do this?
5 August 2015, 13:48

scalemates.com/kits/948811-tl-modellbau-2544-y-kfz-kennzeichen
Die sind zum Selbermachen.
5 August 2015, 13:57

Ich werde nicht alle von dem Bogen brauchen, sag bescheid welche Kennzeichen Du brauchst, schick ich Dir gerne zu! KrKW rulez!🙂
5 August 2015, 14:09

Dann durchforste ich mal meine alten Fotos. Ich weiß momentan nur noch, dass das Kennzeichen mit Y anfing. ;-D
6 August 2015, 07:51

👍 Und dann müsste es 772 sein. Ich glaube, ich habe sie wieder im Gedächnis!!
6 August 2015, 08:00

Ich bräuchte dann irgendwann auch noch eine Figur in der alten Uniform. 1992 hatten wir noch kein Flecktarn. Dolp hatte mal so eine Figur, doch die gibt es mittlerweile nicht mehr.
6 August 2015, 08:22
