Tamiya Wespe
I'm in with this Tamiya Wespe and I plan on doing it OOB.
I quite like the scheme on the boxtop but I wouldn't bet on it finishing up that way. I'm thinking a winter whitewash possibly?
Anyway, I did a bit today and this is where I'm up to. Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Vincent
Luckily it comes with Fruil metal tracks so I can say it really will be OOB. Of course, I'll keep saying it's OOB until I end up buying the inevitable aftermarket accessory I quite like the scheme on the boxtop but I wouldn't bet on it finishing up that way. I'm thinking a winter whitewash possibly?

Re: Tamiya Wespe
It's a beautiful little kit
The boxart scheme is interesting, but since the Wespe was produced from February 1943 onwards it was never grey.

Re: Tamiya Wespe
Pity grey is not an option, that scheme was one reason I bought the kit. Oh well.
A small update for today. I finished the gun and the majority of the hull. It's only dry fitted in the pic as painting all the interior bits and pieces would be best done as seperate sub assemblies I think. More soon.

And people say I'm too fast
Very nice Vincent! How about this scheme?
I had planned that for mine, but I don't mind you borrowing it

Re: Tamiya Wespe
Hi Vincent,
Nice work mate, you really scored with that kit having Fruil tracks didn't you
This should be an unusual build for you seeing as you are not going to destroy it

Re: Tamiya Wespe
I'm here to Vincent, following with interest. I did not know Tamiya released some kits with the tracks.
