DML Heuschrecke IVb "Grasshopper" WIP

Plenty of PE wonderments there Tony, should be fun to see this one come together!

Nice one Tony this is theh one I bought when it came out, gonna be interesting seeing the lifting gear going into it, i was unsure if the extra cost was necessary, but I'm sure this build log will tell. Thanks.

Terry.

Terry since the Dragon kit has some interior I wanted to have the turret being removed but if you leave it on there's really no need for the PE hoist.

OK lets get this show on the road.

This is a pretty good start

Looks like the tin knocker will be VERY busy on this one!!

Rounds Complete!!

Looks like it just assembled itself. Was doing my usual morning E-Bay cruz when I came upon this item Item # 110917929306 it's Trumpeters offering and at an unbelievable price,just thought I'd share. Did you find that chain?

Update Time

Pivot Arms

Didn't like the way Voyager did the rear hull attachment points so I dug out my Redneck engineering handbook and came up with this easy fix.

Works for me

Yeeha! Tony's modding the build as he goes, wouldn't expect anything less.

Thanks All

Bill i'm making it a point to mark up the instructions as I go. String tied around every finger and toe as a reminder.

I feels GOOD

It was a good day but i'm ready to build a SPG Unicycle.

Wheels Wheels Wheels

Tony lee

you're so quick ... everyone

Good work Tony...:)

Just don't tie yourself into knots in the process Tony! After all the Pz IV chassis vehicles you've been working on lately, I bet a unicycle sounds real good right about now!

That's what i'm talking about Delmar. I need some relief.

Thanks Everyone

Tony lee

He's back and better than before.....looks like all the shifts are back on at the tank factory!!

Rounds Complete!!

Putting on weight

Looking slick Tony!

Yes , what Bill said !

It's taking shape with those rails installed. "That's for sure,that's for dang sure."

Thanks

Hi Tony :-)

Really well done so far and a lot of cool P.E... as is your norm..... The thing I don't get is the poor theory behind the vehicle...

A howitzer designed to hold a lot of armmo, but it drives up and drops it's turret into a cement casement ?...

At least they had the sense  to cancel it .  I am sure your build will be way better than their theory

I hope you don't mis understand my post ,Tony  and I do find it interesting !

Hi Tread

This not only was to served as a weapons transporter but also for ammo supply and possibly a recovery vehicle.

As you know German engineers were innovators.

Thanks bud

Tony lee

Jeez Tony... come up for air!.  You're like a factory.  lookin' good.

Like they say Marc

Too many to build and not enough time to do it.

I've learned to hold my breath until my lips turn blue

Thanks guy

Tony lee

WOW Tony! Lot's of goodies here and leave it to you to make saying NO to AM add-on's hard to do!

Up to your usual standards Tony. I'll do my best to follow along.

IB0 if these PE prices keep going up it will be easy to say NO MORE.

Eric we'll keep an eye out for you.

Thanks a Lot

Tony lee

She is looking great.  This is a very cool vehicle, glad you decided to have the turret off.  That will be very different and as you said, really show off the interior.  You don't need no rehab, You just need to keep keeping on
