Hello guys,
my first contribution to the BSC 2015 Hitler's dream drugs from the rat takom. I will use the kit still something to supplement with additional parts and details. With the construction I start tinkering with the Guys of my Model clubs today , pictures dan tonight.

This will be neat, such a cracking new kit. Sweet.

And off we go with the construction ,
The kit is designed beautifully and clearly , I will have to improve a lot , the colour profiles are from ammo of Mig and I start the Build with the Suspension and the tracks.

The suspension and the tracks fit really well,
but would like to 1/144 metal tracks better. Is not there but unfortunately,
so I has to get through Here before sample mounted on the Hull

The rat is a total of 4 Vierlings 3.7 cm Flack obtain turrets.
One is already finished, I make new guns , a radar -angle mirror and hacking of the manufacturing plant.

Would be neat to see this next to your 1/144 Hoth dio, eh?

Great job, Chaos. I really want this kit now.

That is nuts. This beast never really existed right?
 
Re: Armour Land cruiser " P1000 rat , 1/144 takom "

Yes right Scott, this Tank was never Build. ;D
 
Re: Armour Land cruiser " P1000 rat , 1/144 takom "

Thank your Guys.

It continues :
All two AA turrets are finished, Etched I took of 1/700 parts for ships of Toms model works.
One of the towers still compared in size with a 1/144 Revell figure. I think the turret is a little bit too small, or is the figure too big?



 
Re: Armour Land cruiser " P1000 rat , 1/144 takom "

Figure and Turrent match perfectly in size. Have a look at the Turrent-Hatch. It is exactly the right size to place the figure in it... (Maybe the figure is a liiiiittle bit oversized, but I am too, so who cares :) )

It does however not make sense to have different elevations on the gun-barrells on those turrents. They seem to be anti-Aircraft. Therefore they need to move fast (also turning speed!). Having two people gunning at two targets but only one possibility to turn the turrent seems stupid (try to imagine you're the second gunner and always when you're juuuust about to get that Mustang into your crosshairs the other gunner turns away again... must be frustrating...). Ergo; vote for parallel barrells!

Thats a lot of road wheels! Well, and guns too. LOL
 
Re: Armour Land cruiser " P1000 rat , 1/144 takom "

I'm looking forward to the paint on this one. Great work thus far!
