Have a nice evening to everyone, I always wanted to try something bigger, maybe 1/6, but I don't have room for a tank, so I decided that the smallest is Sdkfz 2. I always admired this machine. Getting it in Europe is not easy, almost a unicorn , but it happened by chance and thank you to France ... well, and it started to cut grinding drill, break your brain, invent wheel mounts for gearboxes (zinc heng long), work with the front fork, a lot of material copper and brass, also some sheet metal, wires and LEDs, servo with a handlebar for the handlebars, visual adjustments, nuts in the wheels, etc. The effort to make the big toy at least look like a model and zoom in reality .... there is enough work with it ... but that's why we like it: )

Re: 1/6 21.century Sdkfz 2 Kettenkrad conversion
... I progressed a bit further, except for the rear sheet metal chapel including the tail light flipping and the plug, I made a sheet metal exhaust, then sprayed the primer and tamiya german gray spray, some decals, and the surface treatment is done ... and a great clean of the balcony) ) I have no other space ... field conditions

Photographs can show embarrassing flaws in a model, but your Kettenrad looks fine! Obviously you have some talent at custom modeling work.

Thank you for your reactions, I appreciate it, after the complete completion of the video ride, the effort was to bring the toy closer to the model and at least a little reality, but it's still more of a toy, these are the challenges of our hobby)))

Very smart, it does make a good entry into 1/6 world and keeps size at still an easily transportable scale and also will still fit on a shelf

Have a nice day, I think this project is over, made a light patina on the machine and accessories and weapons. The task was a toy to make a proportional RC, and to bring the model closer to reality. I think I'm satisfied and I'm happy)
