Couple of finishers
Pic #1 is a Tamiya 1/35th Brummbar these saws active service with the G A in WWII fairly good build just went with a dusty European weathered look.
Pics # 2, 3, 4 is a Panzerkleinzerstorer rutscher(see link) these only ever got to the mock up stage a small tankette with 2 crew very light armor more of an ambush weapon.
Given the thickness of the armor you could near on at close range defeat it with a M1 Garand the 50 Ma-deuce would easily mince it up.
This kit is by Amusing in 1/35th scale (All my builds are in tanks) I put a Panther commander 1/35th scale (previous build) to show the actual scale of this machine.
Again went for dusty lightly used with a first time attempt at the hand painted "Flecktarn" camo pattern tedious but doable in sessions.
Tedious bit was the tracks which I followed my thoughts on how to do but was not the correct way oh well live and learn.
Current build happening now is a Tamiya 1/35 "Sturmtiger" going with the same camo pattern no Zimmerit coating but! the Konigs Tiger I did cured me of that for a while!!!!
Thanks chaps.

Nice, I've bought a couple of more models but haven't put any together. Saving them for retirement now.

Interesting that the 'small armoured destroyer' has interleaved road wheels same as the the much heavier Sd.Kfz.181.

I scored bigtime today at my local reuzit store. It isn't valuable or anything although I did get it for a third what they go for, it's what it is. It's a German Horton Go 229 in 1/72 scale which is my primary scale. I didn't' even know they made these. I think I'm going to build this one. One of my favorite planes and seriously wishing the Smithsonian would make its restoration a priority.
I may have a fair entry for the first time in at least a decade.

I knew about them. Wrong scale for me but if it was 1/72 I would have bought it. I knew about the Horton also, just not the model. I've researched the Horton a good bit. WWII planes are one of my things. I have a ton of books on them and with the cold war long over some good books on the Russian aircraft are now coming out. The Smithsonian has one in storage but it's in rough shape. It's in pieces. Fuselage and two wings.

Wasn't there some sort of problem related to the glue used in the Horton's plywood? Seem to recall something along those lines.

End of the war the Germans were having a lot of problems with everything. The plywood has deteriorated but from exposure to weather before inside storage or just age, who knows.
