PanzerJager I 4.7cm Pak(t)

[Tony Lee Watts]

Well it looks like this panzer will be the next one to remove from the box. I don't have a gray paint scheme yet and besides it has fewer wheels.

Now to find some refs so I don't mess it up to badly.

Dario you have made my day,you are a scholar and a gentleman.

Are the colors on the Koblenz piece suppose to be correct or at least close? Seems like I was reading about that somewhere today.

Mucho Thanks Gaucho

I got started on the PanzerJager last night by cleaning up the suspension and wheels so they would be ready for today.


The directions show to install the rear hull plate next and in order to make sure it was vertical with the engine cover I put the front upper hull piece in place with tape. I then assembled the basic engine cover and butted it against the casement and taped it down. I then glued the rear plate to the lower hull only and waala the plate is vertical and will fit snugly with the engine cover later.


Tomorrows next step is to proceed to the interior.
Until then

Hi Tony- that gun was a bitch heh!? those tiny piston parts-Yikes! I have one going- it's stalled- and I have another that I am waiting for the Voyager set to use on.

[Tony Lee Watts]

I used a lot stronger word than "Bitch" more than once i'll tell ya. I almost quit this thing two or three times too.
I had no idea they could mold parts that small but i'm too hard headed to let it beat me.

Yeah I know you're stalled and it could not of happened at a worse time for me. The ones i've seen built were all gray with a worn off over coat of mud or sand. I'm planning on doing a factory late 1942 RAL 8020 Gelbbraun/RAL 7027 Sandgrau (2/3rds-1/3rd) which I think will fit well on this 7 sided Skoda model.

Will I ever do another one? No Way.
