Re: 1:16 Blue Star Models/ An-Bri Hetzer Build
Nice shots Michael, they even got the "Panzeranklopfgerät"
Re: 1:16 Blue Star Models/ An-Bri Hetzer Build
The "Panzer Anklopfgerät" = 3.7cm PAK
The 3.7cm PAK was too weak to penetrate the armor of most tanks, the bullet knock and ricochet...

I was overwhelmed when I got it it just sat because I knew I couldn’t do it justice. Keep up the awesome workc.rainford73 wrote:Mark I'm glad I could make this into something you like, when I first purchased the kit I was a bit overwhelmed but it's all going to turn out really nice IMHO.

Not much time to work on my Hetzers tonight. Last night I was able to mount some more detail bits and set the temporary resin barrels in place. Exhausts are now mounted and allow for easy hull superstructure separation. The mantlets are now functional. Thanks for looking in

Carl!
I really thought that the An Bri-RC vehicle would lag behind its stablemate in looks and detail. I am happy to say that I stand corrected what with your excellent ministrations to them both. Great Job!

Painless

Re: 1:16 Blue Star Models/ An-Bri Hetzer Build
Some fun today on fathers Day and time with family and of course my tanks
As I await many parts for the Blue Star kit, I continued on with the An-Bri set. I added the schurzen plates and hangers. Some tools and photo etched pieces.
Still waiting for the iconic remote control machine gun and mount. Working with Stian behind the scenes for Clark boards for the pair of tank hunters. I'm sure they will sound spectacular.
So with some filling and sanding, two coats of primer and base coat here is the An bri hetzer as it currently sits....
Much more to do with electronics etc....
Hopefully it would have made its designer (Andreas Brinker) proud
