Hi folks, If you’re really into armored vehicles, you really should be watching the Australian Armor Museum’s ‘Workshop Wednesday’ videos on YouTube. Much of what they work on is German armor. Right now they’re rebuilding a Wespe - taking it from a rusty scrap heap, piece by piece, to a museum quality, fully accurate vehicle.
They’re also working on a Stug, and last month they finished a Panzer II.
You’ll get to see every nut and bolt, as built. Great details for fully accurate model building.
And the more of us who watch, the more they’ll be able to do.
The whole set of videos on the teardown and rebuild of the transmission and differential was amazing, both to see the sophistication of the initial design and construction, and the skill with which the OzArmour crew stripped them, cleaned and refurbished them, and reassembled everything to a functional state.
