Sd.Kfz.138/1 Geschützwagen modeling
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/2/6/5/864265-72073-95-720.jpg)
I added some missing details: lever, pedals, spar on the floor, wiring installation tube
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/2/6/7/864267-72073-54-720.jpg)
I joined the parts into separate blocks to make painting more convenient.

I crumpled and carved fenders. In wartime photos, most vehicles on pz.38 chassis have this defect
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/2/6/9/864269-72073-66-720.jpg)
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/2/7/1/864271-72073-47-720.jpg)
I added some missing bolts, sanding the left wall of the engine compartment to the real thickness from 1,2 mm to 0,6 mm because I want to leave the left engine hatch open to see the engine.

I also made cable plugs and handles and making holes in radio rack dampers for radio hardware (sorry, the transmitter and receiver are upside down, just noticed, but not glued yet).
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/7/7/0/879770-72073-23-720.jpg)
I carved the muffler.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/2/9/8/864298-72073-25-720.jpg)
Although the Dragon model is good, it lacks a lot of detail. I made from scratch a commander's headset connection box with a tube for the cable, and another bigger box (I don't know what it is)
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/2/9/9/864299-72073-64-720.jpg)
MP40 ammunition pouches. One is already carved, the second is waiting inline
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/3/0/0/864300-72073-30-720.jpg)
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/7/8/0/879780-72073-18-720.jpg)
I made several pipes on the floor and connected to the gearbox.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/3/0/5/864305-72073-26-720.jpg)
I made from scratch the floor of the fighting compartment (for some reason, Dragon did not provide that). Then I combined the cannon base, floor, and gearbox shaft into one block
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/3/0/6/864306-72073-72-720.jpg)
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/3/0/7/864307-72073-48-720.jpg)
The cannon base, floor, and gearbox shaft block
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/3/0/8/864308-72073-37-720.jpg)
Floor detail. I use spare ammo boxes too, for a more detailed view.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/3/0/9/864309-72073-13-720.jpg)
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/3/1/0/864310-72073-17-720.jpg)
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/7/6/0/867760-72073-48-720.jpg)
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/7/6/1/867761-72073-65-720.jpg)
I add some tubes and wires to the engine (not all yet!).
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/7/6/2/867762-72073-43-720.jpg)
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/7/6/3/867763-72073-12-720.jpg)
To make it easier to work, I connected the fuel tanks with two beams on which I put the engine.
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/7/6/4/867764-72073-52-720.jpg)
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/9/7/4/878974-72073-75-720.jpg)
I made a new first aid kit from scratch. Original on the right.
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/8/2/7/880827-72073-78-720.jpg)
I made a few missing details from scratch: the first aid kit mounting bracket, dashboard, and cable.
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/9/8/8/882988-72073-37-720.jpg)
The original seats are too flat for me. New ones made thick and soft, in the Baroque style 🙂. I made one torn and tied with wire.

Damaged wheel
