Mike Delano Posted July 6, 2010 Report Posted July 6, 2010 I originally started this as kind of a weekend project as this is one of my favorite kits aside from its various problems. After picking up a cheap Eduard PE set for it at the Atlanta show last weekend, I decided to pull some parts out of the spares box to make this one a little bit better... I Pulled various parts from my DML spares boxes. Jerry cans are Tamiya. The main gun is just a placeholder as I'm waiting for my Griffon 2cm kwk 38 barrel to arrive any day now. Hatch handles are made form leftover pivot wire from a set of Friul tracks. I'm considering getting a set of Friul tracks for this one, but the ones included with the ICM kit really aren't that bad... I wish Tasca had taken that que of including link by link tracks with their Luchs kit...
Mark Aldrich Posted July 6, 2010 Report Posted July 6, 2010 Mike, Looking good so far. Did you ever find the destructions? Mark
Mike Delano Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Posted July 6, 2010 No, I never found them, but I found some good photos of the suspension - I just needed to make sure I had the suspension in the proper angle on the proper sides.... My next project is to locate a Tasca star antenna - I know that it has been sold as a separate add-on kit (like they do with their Sherman roadwheel sets) before, I just cant find it by itself...
Mark Aldrich Posted July 6, 2010 Report Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Mike, Not Tasca but...... http://cgi.ebay.com/Voyager-1-35-WWII-Germ...=item2a070246fa Perth said he ordered his directly from Rainbow 10. Edited July 6, 2010 by Mark Aldrich
Mark Aldrich Posted July 7, 2010 Report Posted July 7, 2010 Mike, I always hit there first to see what I am looking for is going for and then ask on the boards. Makes trading and buying a little more genial. Mark
Mark Ford Posted July 7, 2010 Report Posted July 7, 2010 Mike, This is coming along very well. I enjoy seeing a model based on an older release done up better than some I've seen of the newer releases. Good job!!! Mark
802chrisg Posted July 7, 2010 Report Posted July 7, 2010 Mike, Looking good so far. I to like the fact that you are working with an older kit and bringing it alive with all the great after market stuff out there.
