Thanks Rui!
I started working on this project 18 months ago.
Hit a snag with the wheels-yet a fellow modeller from USA sent me a pair of Tamyia's Flak 88.
Then again hit a snag with the fenders...
They're prewar production, so full of double curvatures and hard to model.Tried several approaches and various materials, all in vain.
Then 2 days ago a friend of mine gave me 2 sprues from Ark Model's 8.8 cm PAK 43. I did a test filing of one fender and it worked.
So I restarted the project.
I plan to build a Wuerzburg radar on Sd.Anh.104 too.
Someday😉

No... Bulgarian Henschels were only used in bridge units.
It must have been the other m.gl. Einheits LKW- the Einheitsdiesel(MAN production).The 150 cm. search light,its organic compressor and the RRH were all towed by the Einheitsdiesel. These trucks served well into the 1950's.
4 Wuerzburg sets(coupled to 4 Freya sets), operated by German staff, were deployed in Bulgaria in 1941-they were all transfered to Bulgaria in late 1943.
So if these radars were moved at all- their prime mover must have been the Einheitsdiesel.

Glad you got back on this Angel. But, looking at those listening ears, nut sure there is ANY curvature/complexity you can't model😉

Thanks Alec!
I must admit-those were the most complicated features I have built sofar.
And I still have a lot of work to make them look the part 🙂

That I know, but I'm astounded by the variety of subjects that I never heard off...

I thought so - didn't look like a search light. The UK had these weird concave walls on the south and east coast that focused sound too - like the one in this link douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/COMMS/ear/ear.htm#wall

Incredible build. Such detail and from scratch. Truly impressive! Also thanks for the link, playtime. Learn something new every day.

No way! It'd be like selling your children! .... Except when they become teenagers, then you'd pay for someone to take them... Hopefully this model will never reach puberty.

Thanks Tom and Rui!
I would not sell my models for whatever reason.
On the other hand, SWMBO might give them away as gifts😉
Thanks Holger!
I started painting yesterday and intend to finish the RRH this week...because I need to start construction of the Pf.11(Pontonwagen) from Typ B Bridge.

The subject matter that modellers take on compared with just 10 years ago is fascinating. !
Thoroughly enjoyed looking through your build. 🙂
I love it. 👍
Brilliant.😉

Thanks Holger!
I somehow miss the multi- media look😉
Thanks Alec K!
I still have to make some weathering.That's not my best part, so let's hope I won't mess up.
Thanks Hans Haag!
1/35th scale is 20 times bigger than 1/700th, so my scratchbuilding is 20 times easier than yours 🙂
Keeza,
That's a big praise from a great modelling master!
I really appreciate it-thank you!

Your skills are way beyond anything I would try Angel. And after looking through and seeing the materials you used, well, you got to be so proud of what you have achieved. No bull. !! 😉 👍
