    project ended ☹️

    Well, it was basically finiished, but then I relized my dad had mounted the wrong front wheel. As it seems, all the "D" models had the thicker and larger front wheel due to the additional weapons load. The Roden instructions go for he thin and smaller wheel, the other one isn´t mentioned but is included in the kit.

    When my dad tried to get off the wrong wheel, the front leg, which is rather fragile, broke off a second time (first time it did during an earlier build stage). He tried to glue it back on but it came off again, didn´t want to hold anymore. My dad wasn´t fond of the kit in first place and now lost his patience and trashed it...

    Seems it´s up to me to build a Roden T-28 one day..😄

    Clearly not a good modelling day for the Spreitzhofer family, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Sorry to hear this one being trashed as well.
