Update, been spending couple of hours this weekend finalizing individual sub-assemblies. This is a great kit but it is easy to hold some alternative feelings about it, the fiddly bits may on the one hand assist in a perfect representation of the vehicle, but - in my view - Bronco is the only one to challenge modellers in this way. Alternative kit makers for Kfz. 15 (Tamiya and Italeri) make more shortcuts for that reason.
Here is a walkaround after adding decals on the vehicle (Staff comms. vehicle of the 10th Pz. division in Russia "Guderian", hence the "G") and giving it a shot of acrylic matt varnish.
Getting there... Since this vehicle was intended in a dio combined with Brückengerat B (a standard pontoon bridge) I will deliver it - when finished - to the main feed but out of the desired context. I am renovating a new house that will allow for more space for a decent workbench, including a 3D print corner. I will transition from Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) to Stereolithography, which allows for higher resolution prints. I can't do this in my present workshop because bedrooms are next door and SLA produces toxic fumes.
The pontoon bridge dio requires some parts that are easiest to produce as 3D print, so I will give it a new boost after moving to the new house (I hope this year). You can keep me to it!
Happy modeling, MIchel.
