Now that's different!

Hello Dario.Congratulations for your work.
It has always looked like to me a model removed from my possibilities since I see it very complicated.
As for the canvas...: have you called into question the possibility of her working with some type of putty using the pieces of the kit like mold?

[Jamie Tainton]

Is this something similar?

[Dario Risso]

Thanks, guys.
Juan, maybe I misunderstand your point, but I made something like that with my Opel Maultier, using tracing paper; you can see it here:

James, that looks like a 3 ton. Ford Maultier Sd.Kfz. 3b (not sure about the "b"...I think the "a" is the Opel and the "b" is the Ford); yes, is the same concept on a different truck.

More updates next week (this week will be dedicated to the StuG III F/8 figures and terrain

Ok Dario. You forgive. I still do not dominate esl forum and your work of art passed to me.

[Jamie Tainton]

Have you seen this one Dario for the painting of the tarp?

Well, I started the Pak 43 yesterday; no much parts glued 'cause I'm looking for info about the wires and hoses that connect the gun and the tractor. Any help with that will be useful!

Walkarounds



I added some welding to the platform:





This pic shows the welding (yellow bars) and the stop plugs (red arrows)



This pic from a Flak 88 Manual shows how the stalkes was put into position when the gun is in use. For the travel mode, the stalkes was located at the lateral of the side outtriggers (at least on the flak, I don't know how they was fixed on the PaL 43)



This pic shows a tube falling from the left wheel...it would be the brake air tube?

"tube falling from the left wheel...it would be the brake air tube?" I think "hanging off" or "hanging from" is a better discriptor. Nice images. Thanks for posting.
