German Sd.Kfz.8 DB10 Gepanzerte 12t & Flak 8.8

[Quepwik]

It's been a while since had come here !

This new project had been floating around in my head for a while.
The difficulty was to find a DB10, a model that does not exist at 1/72. Well not quite since it was released under the PMA brand. A part is in Diecast but the rest is nicely done with a lot of details.
I completely disassembled the model and removed the paint to add new details and repaint it entirely.
The only defect of this model are the not very pretty tracks that I will replace by those of an old Revell Famo

Very rare véhicule, I really like it.

The Flak comes from Revell, a superb model that I wanted to detail even more with an Aber barrel and Hauler photoetched.

Very nice job so far, Quepwik! A beautiful and very detailed model. Interesting to work with a diecast hull. It looks very thick around the hatches of the drivers cabin, but nicely thin around the open part of the hull.

Thanks for your comments.

yes Huib, it's a shame but these are the constraints of diecast.

Working on crew.
Preiser, Caesar, Germania, unassembled, reassembled, with some sculpted plastic clay.
