I would be forgiven by Dale Jordan, for not having published more photos of my model. I am working wery slowly and I am following the excellent work done by Vince Abbott, Paul Wills and others, so I have nothing new to show.
The only amendment that I have done different, is the kingpin rear that I made working on the three axles, how must be for towing the 88.
Ps.: Please do not forget that I have the problem of language; using the translator, often you obtain funny nonsense

Hello Alfredo,
From the photos I have seen and the ones posted on here you are doing excellent work. Do not worry about the language, I was brought up with English and I still cant use it properly!

Alfredo,
I agree with the others. The pictures speak for themselves (not that we cannot understand you perfectly). More pix please!

Hi all,
some pictures about my last work; I have decided to work slowly, waiting that Mark and Gill we offer a new interesting project. I must keep me occupied all winter and spring next.
From Tim Catton: some accessories, plates and rear lights
Many thanks to Paul Wills for the picture of dashboard instruments.
I would also reproduce these plates, but I ca n't read them, someone can tell me what is written ? in German, of course.
Regards

Hi Alfredo, you are doing very well. Excellent results with all those details. I'm impressed. On the German descriptions I can help you - only I can not read it in the Forum. Can you send me a higher resolution ? My email :
u.r.mann@t-online.de
Please keep the pictures coming.

Hi Alfredo
Incredible details! Excellent work. You will have one amazing half track when you complete it.
I hope you do not mind me posting some photos I took here on your thread. Maybe they are useful. Sorry the first is blurry. It shows the mounting bracket and some of the wiring. for what ever this thing is.
and some others
Kind regards
Tim

Alfredo,
The detail and gages of your instrument panel are stunning. The Tachometer looks like it should work! Beautiful work.
Tim just a WAG but the black thing appears to be the speedometer and clock? Just a guess but the top scale may be KM/hr, the bottom 4 digit number is the mileage counter (in km's)? Then the time keeping clock in the center.

This is great ... Nice work Alfredo . How did you do the Tachometer?? Did you make mods to the armortek one or build it from scratch ... Tim these photos are the best , I have seen of a sdkfz.7 Half track !!! Do you have more ?? Are they from the littlefield collection ? Dale

TIM
hank you for the photo: the mounting bracket is interesting and I have do add it; my rear coupling hook that I have modified is quite similar to the original.
DALE
The instrument (in italian is "cronotachigrafo") is the one provided by Armortek, following the work of Vincent Abbot
I have milled
and added some parts in aluminium; at left fixed with screw, at right end bottom are glued
a little putting and black painting
and this is finished
Be patience for more pictures,
best regards

Hello Paul,
it is true, I don't my news from very long time.
I continue the work very slowly and mostly I am not doing anything particularly interesting to publish.
You will have some pictures at the end.
Thank you for remember me.
