Takom Pz1 Ausf B

Post by Bryan Krueger »

Maybe I wasn’t in the zone or out of practice, but I spent more time and effort on this build than I wanted to. The PE rings for the road wheels took several rounds of clean up. The link and length track run was too tight for the fixed idler wheel position so I had to cut the wheel post off and glue it where the tracks wanted to rest.

I also struggled with cleanup of the pioneer tools as the plastic got brittle on these tiny parts. I decided to replace the solid tool clasps with 3d printed ones. I accidentally threw away a small PE plate, I lost a front tow hook, flung half a pry bar across the room, and did such a bad job of trimming one of the fender lights it was better to leave it off. :lol:

Some paint has been applied with Tamiya acrylics. Kit decals. Some touch ups are needed.

Looking good, despite all the struggles you went through 8-)

I'm eyeing Academy's new Panzer I B, so far their recent kits were all very enjoyable to build.
