THE WARZONE

Hello,
Only 18 of this type were built...not arriving on line until late 1944. The 38cm projectile was actually a rocket. It is an interesting vehicle and effective for its designed purpose.

Magnfique !

Peu connu car , il y a une à peine une dizaine d'exemplaires sorties d'usine. Il a été conçu début 1944 ceci explique cela.

Speaking of Tigers...
This one is also a Herpa/Minitanks base model. I wish I had purchased more when they were available. Sadly, discontinued. This one was also completed before the advent of the Heiser's resin track upgrades. I did my best to add in all the details that I could see that were missing from the model and of course, the sling on the MP 40 Sub Machine gun....it's the "little" things that count!

Rick, tes modèles pourraient facilement passer pour du 1/35
De plus j'adore le militaire

Thanks for the kind words my friends. And to you Yoyol, it is my pleasure to try and deceive you with a larger scale, but that is not the case. I have learned to train my eyes to look for the smallest of details to add to the 87 scale replicas in order to bring them up to my standards. The close up photography tells the truth.

[Daventry]

Wouaw ! It’s not 1/87 scale ! Unbelievable

C'est génial Rick, pour moi qui suis fan de véhicules militaires, je suis comblé
Et très inspiré pour mes modèles au 1/72

Hello friends, it has been awhile since I have posted in the "WarZone". Here is a Conversion I did utilizing the Wiking M.B. 2500 truck as a base to create the Mercedes Benz 3750. I had to recreate the whole front bumper/fender area and move the cabin and hood to a more forward position....observe the location of the front fender in relation to the cabin forward door line. Also the load bed had to be increased in size, so I replaced it with the bed from the Brekina M.B. 4500. Also the Heavy duty "Trilex" wheels and tires (Wiking) were added. In comparison (first photo) there is quite a difference be tween the light duty truck and its heavier big brother.

Difference by comparison

It's a great truck again.

Very good job Rick !!
You are a master…
I’ve a dream, take a plane with a few models, I will be very happy to meet you.

[radar-o-reily]

Thank you Benoit!
I would love to come to France again. I was young and in the Navy, the first time I visited your beautiful country. Unfortunately I will have to politely decline the offer, as I never get on Commercial Airliners these days, Their safety record is in decline and Pilot/flight crew health incidents are up 800% from just a few years ago. But do not despair...We can share all our creations right here on this great forum!

[radar-o-reily]

This one will receive detail painting and then it's on to final assembly. Last of course, will be the patina...
