Frame, drivetrain and tank completed so far. Only small problems: had to drill 3 or 4 holes and some part positions I not found in the manual but with trail and error...

completed so far...
Decals are very thick and also somewhat brittle. The "B" on the radiator does not work, despite a lot of softener. Grinding the radiator down at this point, first?

The kit has its problems, but brings a lot of pleasure at the end 🙂

Thank you all
yes, great car and there are many inspiring pictures...
thinking about wood, some more cabel (but lead should be better) and maybe a solution for the grids (frontlight and windscreen)

In my youth this was my dream model. Nice to see it being build so beautifully.

Thanks Tom, but time is worth it, because many details are and remain visible...

very, very nice build, I made the 1/12 Airfix version (see album on this website) and whether it is big or small it is a fantstic car.
