Well here I go again getting Myself in trouble again. This is a build of Trumpeters 1/16th. Nashorn with Interior. I intend to Build the Engine and Drivers area separate from the Hull. I built this previously with the Hummel but everything was covered there, This should be interesting YES ?

Theres no stopping you. Nice work so far,
To me of all the SP variants on the Pzr IV chassis I like this one the best. I would be tempted but the 1/16th Gecko M24 landed on my doorstep a couple of days ago.
The list of unfinished projects just grew again No self control. LOL

Continuing on.
I’ll be installing the Upper side Armor Plates next.
You will notice that I haven’t installed most of the small parts, I want to get the Basic assembly finished first that way I’m not constantly breaking off and loosing the small stuff.

Today I installed the Upper Armor Plates, I had to do it a little at a time letting the glue set up before moving on. I found just a few minor gaps with a larger one on the bottom end.
Finished for now.

I’m impressed by Trumpeter having the intercom connections and the reading lamp.

Its going to be impressive, some nice details already.
I’ll be doing the Engine and Drivers areas as a separate build, it’s too nice to burry inside under the Gun.

Thanks. There goes another 200 lol
Well I finally finished some more, The Hull has its base Color Coat and the wheels and the rest of the Running Gear are finished and Installed.
I got the Pics. mixed up this should be first.
You need to remove any Burrs or irregularities from the Wheel Edges to get the Tires to fit.
I think I’ll be doing the Track next, Originally I was planning on using the Snow Track with the extenders, but there isn’t enough of it in the Loose set so I’ll be sticking with the Standard track’

I have the Track Painted and waiting Detailing and Weathering.
I included a Pic of the paint I used just in case you were wondering, The Black Base has a Shiny finish while their Black Primer has a Matt finish.
Which base you use determines how shiny the Metal color comes out.

My Mistake, I posted in the wrong Spot, This is to Correct the Post
I start again, Here I finished the assembly and install of the Track.
It didn’t go Quite like I expected even though it is almost the same as the Hummel I posted last September. Just because the openings in the Sprocket line up doesn’t mean the teeth will. Well here are the Pics. They hopefully will explain everything.

Nice recovery Donald I was going to suggest the same but saw you had already sorted it when I scrolled further down.
The Radios are installed with a little help.
I’ll be working on the AMMO and their racks, that looks like a lot of Fun. (NOT}
