Sd.Kfz. 232 6 Rad ~ Italeri # 6433

Here's an early armored car before the 8 rad afv's. I think I''m going to do Poland Invasion markings.

I like 6rad AFV a lot .
If you want an accurate model, check the issues with the front fenders (I'm sorry, I don't know what is the issue with it, I just read somewhere there is something wrong)
If you like it out of box...go ahead!

Waiting for updates

I looked around the the fender issue but I couldn't find anything with the problem. Here is some more progress since the Neubau is on the drying rack. I sealed up the rear corner gap and added the axle.

Here is a thread on ML that discusses the fender issue briefly.

Nice job so Far David. That rear hull plate and door looks like they had very poor fit. Will have to look out for that when (IF) I ever build mine.

Thanks Roy. Yeah, I haven't been too pleased with the fit of the kit overall, there is a lot of minor flash that makes pieces not fit well like with the hatches and axle. A lot of test fitting and even then I'm not getting it. I filled the gap on the rear hull plate with CA glue and sanded it down, we'll see how good it looks when I prime.

I didn't realize they were on the decline in quality. I do have their Sturmgeschutz IV that I received in a gift exchange with my IPMS Chapter, they said it was a really good kit and highly detailed. We'll see how it goes when I get to the Panzer IV series, that's still far down the road on my model order list.

Have a little more progress made, assembled the wheels and had them dry fit. I didn't want to mess around with the fender inaccuracy, I don't have the tools or resources to fix it, or even the know-how, I'll just go with what I got. Next step is to add the details on the chassis.

It looks beautiful, David. As I said befor, don't worry about the inaccuracy of the fender, if you like OOB, enjoy it; it's still a good model!

Thanks Dario,

Here she is with the tools and other accessories. Next some work on the turret but it's been a long day, I should get some more work done over the holidays.
