Hi Paul

Unbelievable! Looks real.

Yep, lights and semiphore are amazing! Don't tell me the indicator is radio controlled.

Superb

Regards
Tim

Congratulation Paul.
I am waiting my Sd.Kfz 7 and I am seriously worried, after seeing your photos. I am afraid not get to your level.
Someone may suggest some books regarding the halftrack?

Hi All,

Thanks for the praise, however I have to admit itâ€™s not all my work, the praise for the detailed parts should got to Tim Catton, he took the original Armortek lights and reworked them, fitting lenses with the bosch logo,

he is still working on the rear lights and the Notek. Tim also made the side indicators, and yes Tim Bowman, they are servo worked. Tim Catton also made the number plates and the Krauss Maffei badge. So a big thank you to Tim Catton for the work he has done and is still doing on the detail parts.

All the decals, jerry cans, horse shoe(although I made it look rusty using Scenic rust) and other small parts came from Lee Sellers. Alfredo and Stewart, now you know where to go for your parts!!

All the rest is my own work.

Paul

Paul,
Fantastic photos - great detail. I thought the horse shoe and "Kraus" badge were especially cool!

If I may ask, what is the purpose of the reversing seat? I never knew they did that! Interesting detail. The rounded edges on the rubber seats look really good too.

> If I may ask, what is the purpose of the reversing seat?

At a guess, it's so that someone can keep an eye on the gun and make sure it doesn't come adrift.

It would also be handy for plane spotting
