Building A 1/16th. Scale Nashorn with a Separate Interior from Trumpeter

Yes thats Trumpeter for you. I noticed they give you the front radio mounts for each but not the rear too.

If I dont reply to your posts its because for some reason my unread posts buttons vanished making me scroll through the Latest post section and I might miss a post or two I was following very easily.

Builders, be aware that not every vehicle would be equipped with the full three radio devices. The second receiver was often omitted, reserved for platoon leaders.

True if you are building a specific Vehicle, otherwise just use your imagination.
Just wait until you see what I am planning on using the Mg s Yea they only give you 1 with the kit.
I have spare ones which I plan on mounting on the Hull Side Mounts with Drum Magazines.
Should be interesting.

Well This next Post took me all Day to figure out and to do it and post it.
This is verry Complicated and I hope it helps any of you trying this build.






























There that finisher the AMMO Racks.
I would recommend forgetting the Pe. ends for the AMMO, unless you are having loose rounds for display. The AMMO rounds have a rim around the ends and you can’t see the ends once they are in the rack,

PPS I hope this didn’t take up too much of your Computer workings.

I have 32 GBs of RAM and 5 terabytes of storage. Keep it rolling.

Nice job on the ammo Donald. Which brass paint did you use?

After cleaning the parts with cleaner I sprayed a coat of AK Extreme Metals Black Base.
After that cured overnight , it comes out Glossy I sprayed a coat of their Extreme Metals Brass, let that cure then sprayed again.
I used the decals from the Kit and then applied a Matt coat.
I used the best parts where you can see them and the others toward the inside back wall.
You can’t see the inside ones anyway.

Well I got everything sorted out.
My Computer did an update and when it did it turned back on Notifications, which McAlfee got a hold of and tried to shut everything down. I suposedly had 5 pieces of Malware and a bunch of Viruses on my Computer. I used the Microsoft Anti Virus and Anti Malware Programs and guess what showed up ? ABSOLUTLY NOTHING. Turning off the Notifications solved everything, and it’s all running fine.
I don’t even have the McAwfull software on my computer. It looks to me like this company manufactures a lot of problems for the Computers so it can look like they are doing something.

The kit doesn’t give you a Fire Extinguisher, It goes here ?
As good a place as any, and out of the way.

I have the Camo and Decals Finished.


I am starting on some of the Interior parts as a separate Display, as they can’t be seen inside the finished kit.




Finished for now

In reference to the sprocket/tracks ‘issue’ my favourite recent phrase would be “Close enough is good enough”
