Many know it from WoT (World of Tanks), i always wanted to have one in my collection.
Little is known about this vehicle, but they created some back in the 1930´s and tested them in Russia...the project was found good for training, but the order was finally made for the Pz I...The vehicles stayed in training till 1943 or 1944, there are rumours about service in the battle of Berlin, but are believed to be a myth...no vehicle survived the war and postwar years.
I had the luck to find a download with manual/service instructions and some good photos of the running gear. There are some guys in the net that built one in 1/16...nicely made!
I think i have enough photos and plans to build mine...
Will start soon...

Michael ValentanStill working on the running gear. Also the turret is taking shape now. I have soime problems with the exhaust-pipe, this is a form not easy to replicate...have to find a way how i will manage this....
Michael ValentanFinally it´s done...even the exaust pipe was easier than thought...just took me 6 tries to get near the real thing (or what can be seen on photos)...now i get into colors...Grey with Green and Dark Brown will do it, i think.
