Don't give up hope- I am sure that once you start the build, what looks impossible now,  will be easier than you think.

The extra parts you have should make the project look very good  when you are done.

Good Luck

it's a plusmodels product... really good stuff!

I suppose it will take a long time before I start the omnibus, it's my first vacu. so, I think I'll do some practice with some easier before... like a Kfz 17 funkwagen on horch chassis, sounds good?

this should be a unique build, those leaf springs look like a nightmare!

I love the smell of plastic in the morning

can't wait to see this get started.. btw where did you get that radio set from? I've never seen a enigma machine in 1/35th scale before.

naaaah... all the images are missing! tI'll try again:

I found a discreet design of the frame, virtually almost all over again ...

0015i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0015.jpg

while this is all the documentation (and instructions) that passes the airmodel ... even a template to make the interior floor, what the heck!

0016i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0016.jpg

instead of taking the photogravures for the blitz, I took these, which most have some niceties such as coils to the threads and the like ...

0017i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0017.jpg

content:

0018 i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0018.jpg

I do not know what frame will come out, if minimal or "serious", but in the meantime these I got them, then I'll decide whether to bang my head against the wall or not for something that you will never see ..

0019i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0019.jpg

0020 i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0020.jpg

Perhaps the most stupid decision that I did was to take the basic kit Italeri, after all if I took the tamiya maybe it was better ... it is true that I have to use only the frame and the front, but the chassis is is... forget it, and the grille is wrong ...!

0021i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0021.jpg

and here is the content of the conversion kit ... that's enough to put hands in the hair!

0022 i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0022.jpg

0023 i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0023.jpg

to add some interest in the building, I took these,

0024 i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0024.jpg

and this ..

0025i818.photobucket.com/.../IMG_0025.jpg

the rest will be homemade, there is little to do!

well, let's see if now...

here I am with a brand new wip with this unfortunate subject..

I just received all the items I want to put in, and...well, will not be a walk!

I found a discreet design of the frame, virtually almost all over again ...

so wish me luck ...this is a very long term project, and also I haven't decide when to start it, so, take it easy...
