My 2nd Attempt

Posted by Brazen on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 8:31 AM

Hi guys,
I was just wondering if I could ask your opinions of my second 1/35th AFV. It's Alan's Panzer I Ausf. F with MK tracks and Aber PE parts. I also used the PzIV OVM parts from Tamiya. I wasn't sure how to post the pics here but they're over at Missing Lynx here:

I'd really appreciate any feedback cos I'm a pretty new modeller.
Thanks in advance!
Scott

That is excellent work, Scott! Thumbs Up [tup]

Please don't put that beauty anywhere near my BMP-3 at the Shizuoka show this weekend, 'cuz you'll make me look bad!! Dead [xx(]

Seriously, that's a mighty fine li'l tank. The camo, the weathering, the detailing...you got yourself a total package right there.

See ya this weekend! Big Smile [:D]

Thanks very much guys! I used a Canon Ixy 400 (Jpanese model name) and sunlight to take the pics. Monrad, thanks for the praise...I'm just trying to learn the tricks of the trade.
Brian, if it's anything like last year, it's gonna be a GREAT weekend!
Thanks again!
Scott

Really looks great to me, Scott. It's hard to believe you're a newbie. Especially with PE and MK tracks. I still struggle with both, a lot!! lol

I especially like the tow shackles! Are they kit parts or did you am them? What did you used for the headlight lenses? They look real nice, too.

Really a great job.

Thanks,wipw! I used the kit shackles but out of 4 in the box only 2 weren't broken...it's not a good kit unfortunately. The headlight lenses are the Grief lenses - they're excellent.

Thanks for the info, Scott. I've wanted to build an Alan PzII, but now you've given me second thoughts on the matter. I can't find Grief lenses around here. I've heard of them, of course. Thanks for the pics so I can see what they look like.

Wipw, if you like light tanks, I'd actually recommend the Alan Pz IIJ. It's not a great kit but its a great base to work with and it gives you a real sense of achievement when you actually finish it. Plenty of scratch building involved!

Wow Scott, I've been modeling for years and mine don't look that good. That's a nice looking kit, did it go together well?

Me, too. (Almost two for me, in fact.)

I'd be happy if my 2nd work was that good.

Welcome to the forum and very nice job.

Very nice build and GREAT photos.

thanks for posting, and welcome to the forum.
