Horch + Flak38 1/35

Hmm, interesting, a couple of Horch in my future as well. Don't know that I'd have the ability to make corrections, but I'll watch out. I have the ICM kit in my stash.

Regarding the rear doors, I personally find it hard to believe that Tamiya would be that far off. But it could be. Doubtful. but maybe.

Please carry on with your build, @Mkowadlo.

Don't let the purists get you down. 99.9% won't know, or care, about the rear door shape or front fender shape.

Be well. Model on.

It's probably too late now but the Tamiya back end is completely wrong. The rear doors are not angled. They mistook side doors stowed over the back for the actual boot doors. There used to be a AM replacement set for that issue. Have a look at the ICM 108 which is more accurate here.

Also the Tamiya and ICM both have dimensional errors with the the front fenders being too flared towards the front, where in actuality the fender is more circular in shape. Very difficult to rectify this error as it requires major geometrical rearrangement of the front end.

Have look at this KMN thread for more info.

Thank You for this info. I never planned to change basic kit parts specially back Doors - I know they are incorrect.
Honestly most of the people dont know doors are wrong.
