The Type 166 … more assembly
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009Interior of a Schwimmwagen
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009Over the last couple of days since I was at home (more on the toilet or sleeping, but that’s a different story) I worked a bit on the Schwimmwagen interior … this is what I got

Tamiya Typ 166 “Schwimmwagen” in 1:35
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009On E-Bay I got this kit some time ago for about a third of it’s original price, completely unused. So I started building it.
The Schwimmwagen Type 128 was Ferdinand Porsche’s development based on the Type 82 “Kübelwagen”. It featured all wheel drive, a complete hull (!), a retractable propeller and was able to do 10km/h on water. Notable is, that the cars, although able to swim where rarely used in the water but where mainly used as ATVs.
British infantry on Patrol … assembly started

British infantry on Patrol … in 1:35
Sunday, September 6th, 2009I bought this Tamiya set while we where on a visit in Italy. And, since our neighbours had a long house-warming party I started assembling the figures. The kit consists of 2 bags. The first bag contains the figures themselves. The parts are grouped together by figure. That means no long search for parts. The second bag consists of 2 sprue of the same kind, the accessories. Cool, we will have some leftovers for the spare parts box.
