Dragon Sdkfz 265, kleine Panzerbefehlwagen I build

[Dan]

Thanks much, its a nice kit

[Dan]

I found another cupola last night on another tree. The kit has three versions and the instructions skip around.

[Dan]

Added some screws to hold down the applique armor plate.

[Dan]

Plates are on.

[Dan]

Lower applique armor plate was replaced with .020 as I felt the think the PE was a bit too thin.

[Dan]

Not glued on, much better than Tamiya’s stainless steel version.

Found a Aber barrel in the spare parts box.

[Dan]

All the access hatches are in, a large gap was filled with strip.

[Dan]

Fenders headlamps looks way too big.

Check that first pic you posted of R02. They look pretty close.

[Dan]

I just did and really think they should be smaller. I used the drawings from Achtung Panzer, which are 35th and they do look too big along with the headlamp.

[Dan]

Found a smaller fender light in the spare parts box. Look to be 3D and I have no idea where it came from.

[Dan]

Warp! Antenna trough. I’ll let this dry a long time and then hope the warp will work out when I attach it to the fender.

[Dan]

Tools are on with 3D clamps.

[Dan]

Well, I think I’m about done building.

[Dan]

White ID stripe on the back deck.

[Dan]

Paint is on!

[Dan]

Starting T-Rex 3D tracks.
