GERMAN PANZERKAMPFWAGEN II Type J VK16.01 1/35 HOBBY BOSS

This time, I will try to build the Hobby Boss Panzer II type-J.

Even though it is a light tank, the rolling wheels alternately piled up like a Panther or a Teager, and the appearance is like a mini tiger.

Well, I don’t like partially linked caterpillars. Adjustments are rather troublesome.

Once assembled, it was broken down again, thinking that something was wrong. Hey, the Hobby Boss has done it again with caterpillars. Well, isn’t the number of tracks in this manual totally different? Believe in the manual and counting on the number of tracks, in conclusion, this manual was just an illustration.

I wonder I have a lot of spare parts. The spare parts can be used on the right side, and the trouble of cutting out the parts can be saved. The number of tracks in the manual was different. It doesn’t fit at all.

The old book at hand, the photograph of a light tank, confirmed whether the direction of the caterpillar. Maybe I think it’s correct.

I managed to roll the caterpillars on both sides somehow.

A small amount of photo-etched parts is included. The parts that fix the fenders, etc. have a bent part, even though there are bent parts, it is thick and a little difficult to handle.

The rear engine grille looks good after I used etched parts.

The other day, about 10 days ago the desk to put the monitor of the PC arrived. It is a feeling that life has settled down. Actually, I started to keep kittens and I’m not calm at all.

It’s getting better and better after installing the fender. It is a square body like a Tofu.

I closed the hatch this time. The hatch is so small that I wonder the commander can really get out his face and torso from here.

As there were two 13cm tow wires, I made it as it was. However, since there was no place to attach the hook to attach, I attached it to the outside a little, so I couldn’t wrap it on the rear of the vehicle exactly. I can not help it, so a little shortcut.

Mud is mixed with acrylic gouache and fine sand. It is painting from now on.
