Armortek

You have a very interesting build here as well Simon, these halftrack kits are just great to watch being built. keep it coming as we are a bit short on builds at present.

Looking great Simon. I like the mods you did to the road wheels. One of my favorite Armortek vehicles.

Best regards,
Bob

Thanks Bob, yes it is an interesting vehicle to build, i am just trial fitting part's and panel's, the kit is simple but well thought out, the upgrade option's are numerous, Lot's of detail to add, by for now simon.

That functioning widescreen is amazing!

Thanks Dave but i cannot claim any credit for it's construction, The Waltham Abbey Wizard came to the Rescue. Here's a couple of picture's of the rear section made by Michael Matata, another wizard of model building.

Wowie looking awesome it will be a stunning addition to your collection simon keep the pictures coming

Thanks Fabian, hope all is well with you. i have started adding detail to the side panels, there were different rivet patterns on the sdkfz 7 depending on who made it , where and in what year, i chose the 1937 Krauss Maffei version from the jentz and doyle book, this version has all the goodies on, extra lights!. I think to do all this detail is best with the sides off, including the tricky side bead, rubbing strip, regards simon.

Looking good Simon, using push on track lock taps on the handles is a great idea...

Looks like you're enjoying this one Simon, mojo back in action. Thanks for posting. Very enjoyable to read. Stephen

It’s looking really good, another master piece in the making.

Very very nice

I have now soldered inner and outer gaurd rail and shaped to a round, on one side, This is a very time consuming process, shaping, cleaning up, o.k. for you steam enthusiats, walk in the park, but it is a challenge to make it all fit nice, it is a big feature of the vehicle, you can see both sides.
I am more prepared to tackle the second side and all the tools are ready. all for now on a very sad week on this forum, regards simon.

I am more prepared to tackle the second side and all the tools are ready.

I'll bet you will do the second side in half the time. Happens all the time to me.

Some beautiful craftsmanship right there!

Enjoying following this build for sure!

Thanks Robert for the input, i have been working on the rear stowage basket, (Frame) altering the kit part to as close as possible as the real item.
Lot's to add and i am only half way through a tricky little part, i seem to have had the soldering irons out for weeks now.
i have also done some work on the mudguards, rivet detail and blending in the ends, curved pieces, all for now regards simon.
