Škoda Turtle
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/0/9/1/1313091-26091-28-720.jpg)
An unusual vehicle from the 1930's.
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/0/9/2/1313092-26091-41-720.jpg)
I haven't painted black lines between each colour, only because I'm not certain I'd not make an un-tidy mess of it. Perhaps one day....
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/0/9/3/1313093-26091-89-720.jpg)
Very simple transmission, and no interior except for the four machine guns.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/0/9/4/1313094-26091-14-720.jpg)
One can choose either exposed headlights, or fit domed covers.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/7/5/9/1711759-26091-38-720.jpg)
Dark grey with a little black, a small brush, and lots of care...and the lines are added.

For size comparison.....

Many thanks for your 'likes' Alex and Djordje. It's a strange beast.....

Many thanks for your compliments, both 😉 It needs a street scene and figures to provide an idea of scale - it really is a big lump 🙂

Can you share the length in 1:35? I 3d printed one but had trouble getting accurate prototype dimensions to scale it. It seems really big.

Many thanks, Guy. Ben, I'll update a couple of piccies. Let me know if you need proper dimensions, or more piccies.

Oh perfect, thank you! I will measure my resin print and see how close I got to proper 1:35 scale.

Mines about 1cm shorter than yours. Close enough I guess. It sure is a surprisingly huge vehicle.

Probably be quite intimidating to see that coming round the corner, Ben 😉

Many thanks, James et al. This unusual beast is proving popular 🙂

It's time this one is re-visited, black lines required. Now, where did I put those steady hands? 😉

You have to give Hobbyboss credit for the job they did on the single piece moulding of the hull on this kit. Barely a parting line to be seen. If I'm feeling brave when I get around to building it, I'll use a black Gundam marker to line the camo.

Welcome, John. I used a small brush with long bristles, and it went quite well. I'm taking the view that the real vehicles would have been hand-printed too, so the odd slip is fine 😉

Many thanks, Neuling. Not many parts to this kit, but I was hooked by this very unusual vehicle. Four very detailed machine guns are all but hidden inside.
