When I got a photo showing a Pz. I towing a Ju-87, possibly on an airfield in North Africa, I definetely want to build that scenery. The Pz. I is a mix of parts from S-Model Pz. I Ausf. A and B, the Ju-87 is Italeri. I bought some Quickboost add on parts which are designed to fit the Airfix kit, but with slightly modifications they although fit quite well the Italeri kit.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Rui S
I'm in 😎

Dave Flitton
Watching

Tom B.
That´s an interesting combination... watching for sure!

Christian Bruer
Thx to all for looking around 🙂

Nicolas
I'm watching too.

Alec K
I saw (likely) the same photo and also thought it would make a great dio. Glad it will materialize in your capable hands Christian 👍

Lukas Muller
follow 😄

Spanjaard
I am certainly following this one

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for looking around and leaving such kind comments 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss it

Christian Lehmann
Na, da bin ich mal gespannt auf das fertige Projekt 👍

Christian Bruer
Still enough place in the first row, welcome aboard Łukasz and Christian 🙂

Christian Bruer
Nearly there, just a few bits and pieces to add before I can start the paintwork.

I got the SSMODEL Pz.I tracks. So far as can be see still in their printing frame they are looking quite nice.

Happy Modelling
Christian

Tom B.
Looking neat so far! Where did you order those 3D parts from? Been curious about those for a while now...

Alec K
Excellent progress Christian 👍. And same question as Tom B.

Christian Bruer
Thank you Tom and Alec. SSMODEL only has a shop at AliExpress. I was a bit hesitant to order there, because there is a lot of rumor about piracy products over there. But once I did not found something similar I want to order from them I registered and ordered at AliExpress. Payment was easy via PayPal and delivery absolutely in time. I also ordered one of the SSMODEL vehicles, Marder III Sd.Kfz.139 SSMODEL 1:72 72725. The details are top notch, but the printing quality in between excellent and poor. The chassis, tracks and single parts are excellent, but the gun mount and gun shield are not so nice. The gun mount is warped and the gun shield has a lot of steps on the inner and outer side. It also differs from the instructions where gun mount and shield are shown as separate parts but it was delivered as a single part. That makes it even more complicated to solve the issues. But I think I will give it a try for another scale 1/72 kit in the future.

Here the link to the shop:

Transall NG
Very good work !
Thanks for informations.

Tom B.
Thanks for the reply, Christian 👍 It seems that their shop is one of the reliable outlets, then...nice!

Bernd Grün
It turns out very well, Christian. 👌 Looking with interest for the final result.

gorby
Looks like a very interesting project. Exceptionally good work so far!

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for your kind feedback 🙂

Meanwhile I have added a few more details like the steering gear and tilger for the flaps. I also painted and reworked the SSMODEL tracks. They need a slightly adjustment to fit well the the S-Model Pz.I. MOre photos sooon when I start the paintwork.

Happy Modelling, Christian

bughunter
_THAT_ one will be a master piece 👍

Christian Bruer
I try my very best bughunter 🙂

coporado
Great subject and promising builds!

Christian Bruer
Thx budd 🙂

Christian Bruer
WIP painting the Ju-87. Underside in RLM65 Hellblau is done as well as RLM70 Schwarzgrün. Depicting the references I have, the paint seems to have a weathered look, which I took in consideration by highlighting the basic paint.
Next will be the camo with RLM71 Dunkelgrün and a white band on the rear of the fuselage.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Christian Abraham
An interesting project

Moreno Baruffini
Super interesting! Well done!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Christian and Moreno🙂

WIP on my Ju-87 scenery. I rrplaced the First to Fight Pz.I by the one from S-Model but replaced the tracks by 3D printed ones from SSMODEL.
That will come together nicely with a nice contrast in between all of the colours, sand brown Pz.I and the Ju-87 with a standard camouflage in green.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Lukas Muller
Looks superb Chris 👍

Christian Bruer
Thank you Lukas 🙂

There is a lot of masking needed to paint the Ju's splinter camouflage.
I did not masked and sprayed it in one loop, but step by step. For me it works much better in that way.
Only the rear fuselage and tail end is missing. So I have a plan for tomorrow 😁

Happy Modelling
Christian

Alec K
Nice progress Christian. I like your modulation and shading, looks great 👍

coporado
Fantastic paintjob!

Christian Bruer
Thx to you both Alec and corporado 🙂

Rui S
Beautiful Paint work on the little Panzer I 👍

Christian Bruer
Thank you Rui S 🙂

Pietro De Angelis
Great work, congrats!

Oliver
take a seat

Christian Bruer
Thx Pietro and Oliver 🙂

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Ju-87, white band and blackgray walkways are masked and painted. Next weathering, varnish and decals.
A wooden base is also on the way, so I hope to finish this one and several other ongoing projects until SMC🙂
Happy Modelling
Christian

capt. R
Great work!

Christian Bruer
Thank you capt. R 🙂

coporado
Always impressed by your clean builds and painting skills in that scale!

Christian Bruer
Thank you coporado 🙂

Monte
This is very cool. I guess I need to find the photo that was evidently the inspiration for the towing depiction.

Neuling
Cool! 👍

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for your kind comments 🙂

Monte, I have a copy of the photos. I'll share it later when the diorama is finished

Juergen Klinglhuber
Perfect result! Like it 👍 👍

Christian Bruer
Thank you Juergen🙂

Christian Bruer
Some crew figures are meanwhile painted.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Christian Bruer
And the final one I wanted to finish for SMC 2024. A Pz.I towing a Ju-87.
The diorama is based on an original photo taken in North Africa in spring 1941 by a member of Panzerregiment 5. Less is known about the incidence, but it seems the Ju-87 has to make an emergency landing and was now towed by the little Pz.I out of harms way. According to my research and the help of a modelling friend who has a main interrest in Junkers aircraft, the Ju-87 B2 seems to be a machine from II. Gruppe 8./SG2 with the marking T6 + BR.
The Pz.I was built out of the S-Model kit, the Ju-87 is Italeri. Figures are White Stork. Painting was done using acrylics and oils. The wooden base was made by Roland Dörrich.

Happy Modelling
Christian

Nicolas
Looks absolutly phantastic, congrats. 👍

Pepe
Magnificent work.... careful, clean and original idea

Christian Bruer
Thank you Nicolas and Pepe 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Brilliant 👍

Rui S
Beautiful as always 👍 I think they should tie that Stuka before start moving 😄 😉
I've seen a similar scene photo but I think in eastern front and the mover was another Vehicle. I always thought I should use my revel Stuka to do that kind of Dio, maybee One day... 😄

Pietro De Angelis
Simply fantastic!

Spanjaard
it looks just perfect, amazing painting and modelling skills as usual.....

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for your kind words 🙂
@Rui, that was wgat the two guys in front are talking about 😉

Rui S
Of course, the hardest part is already done. 😄
I've been checking my sources. It turns out it's not a Stuka, but a BF 109, with its rear end on top of a truck. 😎

Moreno Baruffini
Really magnificent!

gorby
Brilliant! It astounds me how well you have painted the figures, you can see the muscle tone! 😮

Christian Bruer
Thank you all, I much appreciate your kind comments 🙂

Alec K
Outstanding. I really like these recovery scenes, and like Rui hoping to do one myself One day. Looking forward to your SMC 2024 photo report!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Alec🙂

Thomas Bischoff
I somehow managed to delay browsing through the album till today - this is really outstanding! I especially like the figures 👍

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much Thomas 🙂

AndreasK
Just seen this at SMC. Great topic and nicely done. Good luck for the competition!

Spanjaard
fully agree!

Dirk Heyer
Hi Christian.

I am confirm with all the mention above. It is a fantastic Interpretation of this theme. Very well done.

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for your kind comments 🙂

bughunter
But honestly, you can't do that! Is this airplane or tank model building? Something like that can't be categorized and filtered properly here! Why don't you decide what you want to build?

Joking aside, nice 'crossover' diorama and I always impressed by your little figures 👍

PS: It's only visible in Group Aircraft->Propeller 🙂

Erik Off
I could see it at the SMC. A very unique style, I really liked it.
I took extra photos of the smooth sand. 😉

Christian Bruer
@bughunter, you're totaly wrong, this is a figure display 😄

But thank you for your thoughts and kind comment🙂

@Erik, thank you very much and glad you like it 🙂

bughunter
😄 😄 👍

Siegfried Van den Bosch
Nice one !

Christian Bruer
Thank you Siegfried 🙂

Finn
A gem!

Dash Rendar
Looking really good!

Treehugger
Haha Revell with a 1:72 kit, are they feeling well? 😄 Ofc, this must be an old kit.
This is one of some other kits I've always wanted to have.

Dave Burgess
It (and the Babylon 5 space station) were released in 1998. Tough to find now, even on EBay, and they want silly-bugger prices.

Finn
Cool

gorby
No doubt this will be an interesting build. 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Taking a first-row seat on this talent-show!

Zsolt Czegle
Welcome ont the aboard mates!

Villiers de Vos
Nice progress.

Bohrmann
👀 On board

Michael Kohl
Me too.

Zsolt Czegle
Hello Bohrmann and Michael!

Zsolt Czegle
A little progress again with the reels and coils...

Michael Kohl
Is it a conversion or a full kit? I had very good experiences with Snake Models. How is this kit? Does it come with instructions of where to put hoses and cables or did you have to research that yourself?

Villiers de Vos
A very unique project.

Zsolt Czegle
Michael: This is a full resin kit casted of a awesome resin. This is my second kit from Aleksei and I'm very statisfied with it.

There is a little scheme how and where to "attach" the hoses (photo nr.7). I couldn't find any photos in internet because this is an unique vehicle and only one prototype was produced but never ordered by the Soviet Army.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Watching your build progress always makes me thinking of also doing these kind of stuff ... one day I will do it - do you then try a plane model? 😂

Zsolt Czegle
Thank you Thomas ! I've also some planes in my stash! 😉

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Ohhh - can't wait to see you doing a plane 😊

Finn
Will not miss this one, looking really good!

Michael Schubert
Super cool!! Love the dio it's awesome 👌

Thomas K.
very nice, i like it 👍

Neuling
I agree with Michael and Thomas. And: the beautiful setting adds to the very appealing impression. 👍

gorby
Excellent dio!

Brian Eberle
Thank you everyone. Greatly appreciated. This was a fun build.

Finn
Great indeed!

gorby
Isn't this the same model and photos that you've posted previously?
Convair PB4Y-2 Privateer. | Album by 1_72
MyAlbum | Album by 1_72 (1:72)

1_72
Gorby, yes it is. Just wanted to attach photoalbum to the project and while doing this, it appeared on my wall as a new photoalbum. I may not have figured out how to do it correctly yet, sorry.

gorby
If you edit the photo album and go down to 'Linked project' you can select it from there.

Treehugger
Btw, I am sure I've seen a variant for the US navy, but with the tail of the typical B-24. Looking like a mix between the Liberator and the Privateer.

1_72
Treehugger, of course you're right. It was PB4Y-1 Liberator with Erco Ball turret at front, (same like Privateer) and I guess bit lenghtened fuselage, compared to B 24 Liberator.

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic paint work and finish.
