VPC the command version of the VBCI

Not a lot done the late days despite a lot of hours at the workbench.

I’ve built a part of the ventilation system and the NBC filters compartment. The small bracket under the top of the ventilation system is for securing the rifles of the crew. I still need to make the lower bracket for the rifles stocks.

A bit more done in the VPC. On the RHS, the rifle racks are done. The air duct is not glued yet.

On the LHS most of the equipment is done. The seat is hold in place with blu-tac. There is still another bracket to make close to the floor.

Some more details added to the corridor area. I’m closer to working on the rear area. However I still need to add a kind of shelf on the left of the commander seat as well as a radio set which I have to source.

Excellent scratch building Oliver, I don’t have that kind of patience and you’ve done a fantastic job.

Thank you for the kind comments.

I have started to detail the rear compartment. Next step is the left side with the working space fitted with the computers, printer and radios. However the latter being totally invisible under the roof, I’m not sure to represent them.

I have shifted to the left hull side. I started by the large work table which I intend to keep removable to facilitate the painting. There are two supports for a PC and in between there is a printer. A lot of equipment will be added if I can.

Not enough Hans-Hermann that’s why some details are approximately estimated.

Yesterday a friend sent me more pictures from different angles. I’ll be able to add more equipment especially in the radio racks.

The estimation is working well, It all looks very balanced.

I have added some details to the underside of the work table. I also made the microphones and their switch boxes. They are not glued yet and will be bent later when the computers are in place.

The end for the work table is close. I just need to get my computers printed and a lamp added on the right of each computer. The box which is not straight will be partly hidden by the screen of a computer. I know this is cheating. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
