15cm SIG 33 revived from the dead

Posted by iraqiwildman on Friday, July 31, 2015 2:48 PM

A few years ago, I was on the weathering stage of building the Cyber Hobby (Kit #9123) 15cm Sturm-Infanteriegeschutz 33. I got home from work one day and found my new beagle had gotten out of her kennel and had a little snack. The Suspect:

The Crime:

I stuck this thing back in the box for years and then contacted Dragoncare to buy replacement parts. They shipped me everything I needed for about $10. I still had a little of the custom mixed paint left and was able to graft the fenders with new pieces. I am really happy how this turned out and had a good time putting it back together.

Ohhh. Well I'm very glad you did. It's a sweet model.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Yes, great save Tim. I'm looking at in on my phone, but the weathering looks well done.

First things first.....HEY DOOG!! Big Smile

(I grew up with Beagles; love 'em, love 'em, ;ove 'em!!! )

I'm really happy to hear that Dragon would send you all the replacement parts, That's really honestly great customer service!

And you made a great looking model out of a total wreck! It looks wonderful! I have to be honest, I would have just bought another kit; these are fairly cheap today, but the challenge of rebuilding it would certainly have been an attractive challenge!
