Agree with comments above! Congrats👍🏻

Mr James
Excellent work indeed. Agree with Neuling about the rigging

David Taylor
What did you use for the rigging Felix.

Felix
Thank you all for your kind comments! Much appreciated really. The kit is fantastic, everything fits except for maybe the open canopy, which i had initially used. But the Montex masks did not work properly, so i had to buy an Eduard mask for the closed canopy. That mask by the way has some flaws too as it does not consider some important details.
The rigging was a huge challenge, for sure 🙂

So now the FUN begins! Turning the P-39 wing into a (laminar flow) P-76 wing! I found a cheap P-51 kit ($13 CAD) to sacrifice. I'll need to cut out and fill in the P-51 landing gear wells, chop off the wingtips to reduce the wing span to ~36 scale feet (35'10"), cut out the P-39's gear wells, chop holes in the P-51's wings to mount the P-39 gear wells, and remove the leading and trailing edges of the P-39 wing root to mate up with the P-51 wing so it matched the P-39 fuselage. Also because the gear wells in the '39 are further back than the P-51, and the flaps on the P-51 are molded as one piece not two, the rear of the gear wells extends into the flap space, so I'll have to toss the flaps and fill that space with sheet styrene. Piece of cake! (Yeah, right!)

Inspiriert durch die aktuellen Anlässe in der Welt, meiner Liebe zum Leopard 1 und dem Wunsch ein Gebäude in 1:35 zu bauen, bin ich auf die Idee für dieses fiktive Diorama gekommen. Das Diorama soll eine Panzer Crew bei der Rast zeigen. Der Panzer ist ein Feldumbau eines beschädigten Leopard 1 der zum abfangen von Drohnen umgebaut wurde. Die Mannschaft nennt ihr Fahrzeug "Fliegenklatsche" (мухобойка).

Inspired by current events in the world, my love for the Leopard 1 and the desire to scratch build a building in 1:35, I came up with the idea for this fictional diorama. The diorama is supposed to show a tank crew taking a break. The tank is a field conversion of a damaged Leopard 1 that was converted to intercept drones. The team calls their vehicle a "fly swatter" (мухобойка).

Die Ziegel wurden verfugt und das Dach aufgesetzt. Die Dachrinne wurde aus einer Katzenfutterverpackung (Aluminium) und das Fallrohr aus Gussgraten hergestellt.

The bricks were grouted and the roof was added. The gutter was made from cat food packaging (aluminum) and the downpipe was made from plastic sprue.

Robert Podkoński
