Have decided on my next victim, so pulled this one out of the stash this morning and gave the parts a rinse to clean off the mold release agents etc. Hope to make a start on it in the next day or so once dried. Similar to the Panzer 1A that I built previously, but this one is slightly longer due to having an extra road wheel, as well as a modified rear engine deck and exhaust due to having a different engine. Haven't decided if it will be based in France or Greece yet, but definitely leaning towards the grey and brown camouflage per the box art.

Another 1/16 scale tank 👀
Count me in, James 👍

Sebastian Meyner
Great work so far James 👍 Following 👀

I'd recommend adding the superstructure from front to back as you can have alignment issues. You can get decals for the fire extinguisher, which are not in the kit.

James C
Thanks guys 🙂

Really enjoying the larger 1/16 scale, and finding them much easier on the eyes to assemble.

Thanks John and yeah, that's what I did with the "A" version I built previously.

I got quite a bit more done today with both track runs mounted for a test fit. They worked out quite well in the end, being much better than the plastic links that come in the kit. Far easier to assemble as well as only took a couple of hours versus several days for the stock plastic parts. Adds a nice bit of weight to the model as well. Still need to adjust the tension a little to get them sagging properly but pretty happy with how they turned out. Started to loose the natural lighting so will leave the turret assembly and smaller detail parts for tomorrow.

Beautiful job on a very old kit. My father built that kit and wired ig to the ceiling of my bedroom when I was a kid.

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Doubtingmango.

Guillaume Blanchet
Looking great!

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Guillaume.

Nathan Dempsey
That looks great Clifford 🙂 I remember building this kit as a kid. So nice to see it brought back to life again.

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Nathan. It was a fun build. I hope to get the either the Hobby Boss or GWH offering. I have another one of these. I have wanted the Monogram kit for many years and finally decided to get one, well I got 2. The Kelik 3d interior works great in it.

Mr D
Very nice👌.
Pulled off a nice build 👍
How old was the Monogram kit ??
I just purchased the Flyhawk SBD... Kit was a bargain.
Nicely done

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Mr D. I think the ones I have are the 1975 issue. How is the Flyhawk SBD? I have never seen a Flyhawk kit.

In! Good luck!

Chris
Thank you! I have still noticed, that that will not be an easy-cheesy plane. You will see, what comes out.

... well, may I serve some drinks? Chips? Sweets? Have fun watching my troubles.

The first problems arose today when I tried to install the frames. There are no markings or reference points for this. So it was a case of guessing and sanding. And then I forgot to take a photo of it... It'll come.

I've heard rhese old Williams brothers kits are terrible. I have a couple I'm looking forward to building.

Ben M
Okay looking at this kit's timeline it was most recently issued by "s&m models." You can't make this stuff up.

Łukasz Gliński
Oh, cool, will watch

Robert Podkoński
Watching too.
