Great work with the vacu kit!👍🏻

Skyhiker
I have this vacuform kit in my stash. Great to see it come to life. Did you buy additional resin parts?

Treehugger
Oh, wow, I've never seen something like this before.

Schwarzadler
Somehow looks to me as a Tipulidae-like insect.

Michael Kohl
Another impressive result from the Vacukit-specialist.

Lost_Erik
Nice growing collection.

Snake Plissken
But the B-50 is better 😎

1_72
Yeah, have to think about conversion. Guess I've never seen any B-50 in 1:72🙂

Desert Marlin
This is looking like it will be a blast to complete!

Desert Marlin
Any suggestions on which squadron would be most appealing?

Mr D
Nice model here... Enjoy 😁👍

Desert Marlin
Thanks!

Desert Marlin
The IsraDecal publication is absolutely pricesless for this project!

Guy Rump
Interesting, following.👍

Landlubber Mike
Cool project, following along as well. Not sure I can help you on the squadron selection - lots of good options.

Desert Marlin
Perhaps knowing which squadrons participated in "Swords of Iron" would help?

I love the IAF, and Israel. Your model looks great so far. I'll be watching!

Mr D
This will be a nice little gem to the collection.... nice tidy work so far 👌👍👍

John
Just starting the F-16AM (ROCAF) version of this so I'll be following along. What color are you doing the cockpit tub? I've got a mix for dark gull grey that "looks close" but curious what you settled on.

Oh, also the kit comes with a bunch of 500lb resin Mk. 82s I don't plan to use, along with resin MERs for them. Let me know if you want them.

Desert Marlin
I have six aircraft in the collection:
S-199
P-51
F-16C
F-16I
F-4E
F-15E

When it's all done, I'll put together a single collection!

Desert Marlin
Okay... back to the Mirage 2000N...

Very nice work!

Ancient kit, up to date job.

Christian Bruer
Bergepanther Ausf. D, Dragon kit Panther Ausf. D, Fat Frog Models tracks and some scratchbuild details to present an early Bergepanther.
An easy self made conversion for an interesting recovery vehicle. I will add drawbars, a rack with a timber and the wooden hatch above the turret opening.

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther conversion. Today I added the wooden planking and hinges ontop of the turret opening cover.

Alec K
Looking lovely, taking a seat 👍

Jennifer Franklin
I like what I see, following

Christian Bruer
Thx Alex and Jennifer🙂 Still enough place in the first row by the way 😉

Tom B.
Taking up one of those firstt row seats on this one! These Fat Frog tracks are really neat, currently using a set on a King Tiger... Looking forward to more of the scratchbuilt addons 👍

Christian Bruer
You're welcome Tom B. 🙂

Indeed the Fat Frog tracks are really nice, but a lil bit tricky to remove all the printing supports mainly on the inner side of the tracks.

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther conversion. Tow bars and wooden beam added.
So far I have no references for early Bergepanther using the wooden beam, but let's assume it is a field modification.

Christian

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther. Rear plate, details added. I cut the covers and hatches off from the kit part. Muchveasier than to rebuild the details.

Alec K
Christian, I love your scratched wood structures. Very realistic to my eye 👍

Jennifer Franklin
Agreed, the scratched wood structure looks great.

gorby
Remarkable scratch building!

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much for your kind comments Alec, Jennifer and gorby 🙂

Christian Bruer
The exterior is finished. I think I will add some interior because I will the hatches left open.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Jennifer Franklin
Did you paint the metal pieces to look like metal or are they real metal pieces?

Christian Bruer
Jennifer, I gues you asked about the enging grill covers. These are brass photo etch parts from a Flyhawk PE Set.

Jennifer Franklin
The brass parts look great

Christian Bruer
Yep, they're nicely done.

I decide to add some figures, crew and chatting tank drivers.

Happy Modelling
Christian

Christian Bruer

Master piece.

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much Bozo 🙂

Neuling
Excellent small scale build!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Neuling 🙂

subotai
Isn´t the rubber on the wheels a bit too clean? But nevertheless a beauty of couse 🙂
Did you use a template for the rubber? It looks so evenly painted. Mine is most times a mess 🙁

Christian Bruer
Thx subotai for your kind comment and your thoughts 🙂👍
I'd like to present mostly dry mud what stuck to the tracks and wheels, so I kept the rubber cleaner than the rest. So far following some reference photos I used to follow.
About the paintwork, I did not used a template but painted the rubber free hand along the edges of the wheels.

subotai
Ok alright, then it must be a good edge or your ruhige hand 🙂

Christian Bruer
@subotai, both 😁

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

Jennifer Franklin
How did you manage to get such good detail on those tiny figures?

Christian Bruer
A steady hand, small brush and good magnifying glasses.

Jan Peters
This would look great if it was 1:35th scale, in 1:72 it is sheer magic ✨
Beautiful work Christian!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Jan 🙂 And, the large scale guys have a kit, we smallscaler need to do a conversion 😁

Rui S
