Yeah, Augie! I wanted to show that at least that I'm working on something, but the whole bunch of pics will follow (if) once finished.
H K: 👍 Yepp!
Fabian: Close, very close! 1996 ALAN kit in a Dragon box!

soundl like a litte callenge ... an Alan kit in a Dragon Box, what I´m wondering... are the instructions better or worse than the Alan ones? 😄
18 January 2014, 12:16

Usual Dragon instructions. 1-2 mistakes, but ok. I tried to build it as per the instruction steps and it worked out, but... I will never do it again. I usually tend to jump between the steps. To keep instruction discipline isn't my thing... 🙂

Same with me...😉
Had already some of the really odd Alans...what I larned: Dryfit, dryfit and dryfit. But maybe this one is an unusual Alan kit😉

The instructions have 16 steps. I reached step 15 - the figure. No big issue except for that I have no idea how to fix the proposed figure in the turret. I might skip it and continue with step 16 - the tracks and final assembly. Then you'll get more pics.... (whenever "then" will be...)

Thanks, Augie and H K. The tracks will get their basic coat today.

Well Frank... This one Comes out very nice! On the other Hand Dragon produces a wide range of Panzer II kits. Do You like it the hard way? 🙂

Well, Christian, look at my stash. I've got some backlog to work on.😉😉😉
But next kit shall be one of the recent kits. May be the St. Chamond or Marmon Herrington...

Looked at Your Stash... WOW... Wish you all the best to become 250 Years old to finish them all 🙂 See you at Wangerooge!

👍 Christian, and I have hope to get there. Not 250, but may be 249😉
My mother will become 92 this year and is doing very well.

Indeed... BTW, saw the pics of the sprues you´ve posted... they ain´t looking like the the Alan sprues I know, way more elegant and with a more reasonalble sprue-parts layout😉

Looks great Frank! You do you do meticulous work. It's a beauty! 👍 👍 👍

For once, it's a real step by step post!
Looking at your build, this kit looks better than expected. How was the was the assembly? A breeze or a dog?
See you

Nice build and presentation Frank???.
On your first pic, the caption says ?make your guess?
Are you referring to those white flecks?

Thank you, guys!
@Joerg: Once a while...😉
@Fabian: Unbelievable, isn't it. However, it is realy an Alan kit in a Dragon box. All sprues show the Alan label.
@George: Thank you. Hope you'll like it once finished.
@Jose: Thank you!
@Kim: Yeah, I can't leave all to you guys. Let's hope that I get it really finished.
@Lionel: I'll probably won't do it again. The kit came nice together. Some pin marks to fill and I had to widen some location holes. The space between the track teeth was a bit too narrow, but the plastic was soft enough that I could bend them a bit outside.
@Wim: Thank you!
@Holger: I love more colourful camouflage, but often I end up with a single coloured model... 🙁
@James: I used "Make your guess", when it was a single picture, before uploading all the others. I've changed the caption now... 😄

Album info
Too busy to finish, but at least I'm on something...
.
Tried this one "by the book". The fotos show nearly every single step as per instruction sheet.
