Takom Pz I Ausf B build

[Dan]

Since I enjoyed the Takom ausf A build, I thought I’d start their ausf B.
I’ll be using the BSK 3D detail set.

[Dan]

A few wheels have their PE rings on after being darkened with AK burnishing fluid. I’ll have to add some putty to the ends as the PE parts are a hair small.

You may as well start a Panzer I marathon like I did with my Panzer III’s a couple years ago.

[Dan]

Great idea!

[Dan]

One side done.

[Dan]

Some rear end work.

[Dan]

Left side wheels done.

[Dan]

More rear end work.

[Dan]

One side of track is done.
Easy to do but a bit fragile. I’d remove one block but I’m afraid I’ll brake a few doing in doing so.

[tankerken]

I think that track tension looks correct.

[Dan]

Thanks, better slightly tight than loose.

[Dan]

Other side on.

Coming together quickly. Guess it helps you built the A just before.

[Dan]

They are simple vehicles!

[Dan]

Upper and lower hull are now together.

[Dan]

3D parts on and rear fenders.
The 3D parts are quite brittle and some are hard to get at.

[Dan]

Turret done. 3D lifting hooks on. A little putting is needed at the front angle.

[Dan]

Got some tools from the spare parts tray on the right side, I find the Takom’s tools to be too thin. I also find the parts from the BSK too easily broken.

[Dan]

Added the right side tools.
I think I’m done with the build!

[Dan]

Getting ready for paint!
