If you like a full interior here it is


This is the hull upper plate to give an idea of how jammed packed it's going to be in there.


Page #1 Engine assembly






Page #2 more engine parts

Parts #15 and #42 not numbered.









You better cover your lap to catch those tiny parts or they're gone to never never land.

The rest of page two comin up
See you Later

I have this kit (along with the Brach Models version, plus their R35 kit) and I'm really looking forward to the Hobbyboss Renault R35 release. I can see that the kit might have been influenced, but not a direct copy of the Brach kit.

Scott i've got the Azimut Best Value kit too and was about to get it out but Hobby Boss put this one out.

Dan They don't look to bad so i'm going to use them. AM tracks are too costly for this little model.

To kick off the week I built the 4.7cm gun and get it out of the way. If you're having a bad day though don't start it.


The lower hull is filling up but there's still more to place in there yet.






Those tiny parts are even made up of two or more smaller parts.

That's it for today folks

Still raining here so I moved to the topside.




NO the door latch didn't depart this world the kit only came with one for the two doors.
Not a perfect kit but 99.9% which works for me.



Go away rain, I need to do some spot painting
Thanks for looking in on my project.

Great job! The power plant is a kit, in itself. Reminds me of Trumpeter's sd.kfz.7 8 ton early. The engine, chassis and body are a kit, to themselves.

You're right Matt.
It's a small model but it's a dandy.

Thanks

That kit looks fantastic. I have been looking forward to a built of this kit and I have to say I'm sold. I wasn't even aware it had this complete interior

Looking forward how it progresses. You are doing a sterling job.

Appreciate the compliment Robert.
The rain is suppose to move out tonight and we'll have three days of clear skies.
If it does maybe i'll be able to get some base painting done so I can get the sub assemblies in place.

Thanks again

Nice work Tony

The model is packed full of interior detail even though it may not be seen Hobbyboss have done a great job of giving the extra items to fit in the hull.

Keep posting the images.

still looks good Tony ,

Seeing this build makes me want to go out and buy this little gem .
For what's in the box it is more than what the modeller expects .

Well done Hobbyboss and Tony for the build images.

All we need now is someone to release a crew to go in the fighting compartment and it's happy days .
