Takom Krupp Raumer S

Album image #1
The two body sections, which probably are sprue B, but are not actually attached to any sprue. 
 

Album image #2
Sprue A (2 off) 
 

Album image #3
Sprue C (2 off) 
 

Album image #4
Sprue D (2 off) 
 

Album image #5
Decals. Four options, at least two of which are fictional. 
 

Album image #6
Plenty of filler required around the underside. 
 

Album image #7
Ejector pin marks also need filling. 
 

Album image #8
A bit more progress. I've not stuck the top inserts in yet as I think it would be best to get some paint on them first! Takom might have done the hatches as separate parts. The side doors are done that way. 
 

Album image #9
They just drop in and have chamfered front corners so they only fit one way. 
 

Album image #10
Fill, sand, repeat. You know the drill. 
 

Album image #11
Test fitting the wheels. There's not that many parts left on the sprues now. 
 

Album image #12
A quick mock-up of the two ends. 
 

Album image #13
I'll have to hide the join around the rim of the wheels as it's quite visible even with the tread plates installed. 
 

Album image #14
You pretty much have to drill out the ends of the exhausts as they would be too obvious if you didn't! 1.4mm drill, FYI. Not a photo for arachnophobes. 
 

Album image #15
The steering mechanism. A single joint holds the front and rear units together (or is ir rear and front?) I'm pondering how to make it stronger, but there's not much to work with here! 
 

Album image #16
Another test fit with a few more bits added. 
 

Album image #17
I had to do a bit of filling and sanding in the grooves around the rim of the wheels. An awkward job. 
 

Album image #18
The pads are on the wheels, but I noted that many of them have sink marks on the face opposite the locating tab. Oh good, more filling & sanding. 
 

Album image #19
The steering mechanism needs a fair bit of painting before assembling as too much of it will be inaccessible once it's put together. 
 

Album image #20
A final test fit of the major components before priming.

Ooooh! I'd like to follow this. I've built one in 1/72, this must be huge.

Well, okay, Gorby, but follow at your own risk. It is a mine clearing vehicle, after all.

😄 😄 😄
Should be safe enough. At 150 tons you're going to know which bit it's cleared. 😄

Oh wow. Ive never heard of this thing before! When I saw the first picture I thought at first must be an alternate history tank. Following with interest!

Cheers, Gorby. it's a quick build, only nine stages, but I'm still concerned about the single load bearing joint between the two halves.

A very unusual subject coming along nicely.

The center hinge thing on the 1/72 model is quite sturdy, but I can see that it might be more of a concern on this big beast.
