R/C Sd.Kfz. 223 1:16

Post by EddyK »

This story starts when the friend of mine asked to order him Andrews design Sd.Kfz.223. This kit was last one that was on stock at xion.de. It also includes Pro upgrade kit with metal gears! But then my friend forced by circumstances changes his mind. So now I have this model in my collection, too!!!

I suspect they will do another production run in the future. They've got a deal to distribute through Imex/Taigan now and the Puma is very near release as well.

Sooo... Two years passed and the day before I suddenly decided to start the building of this model.
In the first evening I spent 5 hours to build the chassis:
