RFM Sdkfz 234/2 build

[Dan]

Spare tire mount is on.
Vinyl tire is ok.

[Dan]

Smoke launchers-Brown parts are from modelkastern.
I plan on adding rear detail later.

[Dan]

Finished the kit and am about to head home.

[Dan]

Had to put the 3D wheels on-easy to remove the supports and they fit perfectly on the axels.

Who’s 3D tires?

I have a few saw blades like that. I will use the broken part in a blade handle for hard to reach parts.

[Dan]

RFM makes a set to replace the kits vinyl tires.

[Dan]

Got the Jerry cans and their straps done. Rye gives you six cans but only four PE inserts.

[Dan]

Found bottles for the rear engine hatch.

[Dan]

Got done basic interior paints on. I’ll add touch up colors later.

[Dan]

Some touch ups have been done. The primer red color isn’t so vibrant as the photo.

[Dan]

Top is on! A small gap at the rear corners.

Excellent work Dan,

Huge effort for a small kit.

[Dan]

Thanks much. I could have buttoned it up but added a bit too many interior items that probably won’t be seen again.

[Dan]

Added some detail to the back of the smoke launchers. I’m not sure if anything will be seen when glued to the turret.
I’m using AFV Modeller’s 1/16 3D set as reference.

[Dan]

Seen here

[Dan]

And they are on.

[Dan]

So after doing some internet research, it looks like these parts shown, are unit specific. Most seem to be from 2nd recon battalion.

[Dan]

Fender isn’t even glued on! Will be glued on of course.
Great fit.

[Dan]

Now glued on.
