Sd Kfz 7 KM m 8(1935)

Last year I built this halftrack.
Image
It's a Kraus Maffei mittlere 8 ton, model of 1935, from Legion Condor, in Spain, circa 1938.
I started with the plan on german manual D607/3
Image
First the chassis,

Image

Image

Image
Next the cabin
Image

Image

Image
The accessories. The tyres are poliester copies of a modified DML Flak 36 trailer. The tracks are from Friul.
Image
Assembled, without gluing
Image

Image
The final result, prior to painting.
Image
The rack doors are assymetrical,and the tyres aren't flush with the wheel, as on the original vehicle.

"Impressive" was the first word comes to my mind, but as Tim say it first....I will change it for "Awesome!!" :panzer1:

Now that's what I call model building. Most of us are model kit assemblers (although some of us take it up a level) but you my friend are a true modeler. Great job. No, fantastic job.
