Re: Wespe ammo carrier
Thank you friends for your words!
Since the vehicle had no turret or cannon, I tried to do a nice paint job and decorate it with different extras.
I would like to highlight how really small it is, dimensions of approximately 32x15x15cm. A photo to compare with two figures and the panther turret (heng long):

Some pics about building process and painting. I didn't mention it before but the tires are printed in TPU
PETG parts, chassis bolted:
Resin parts and MENG nuts:
Checking the size versus SdKfz 234 Puma:
The tarpaulin is a sheet of paper: Ammo Mig ONE SHOT PRIMER Grey: Suspension elements: bump stops, leaf spring stoppers, return rollers arms, etc: Ammo Mig Dunkelgelb and Olivgrün. Note the visible rigid flange coupling, prior to hide with a resin part: details painted with a brush before weathering:

Re: Wespe ammo carrier
Great work, Edumardo! And you can tell that's sincere praise because it comes from an "Edward" (a.k.a. Herr Dr. Professor a.k.a. HDP). Among all the fine work, I point out one detail that demonstrates your skill: the rusting, crusting, and "unburned hydrocarbon" blackening on the exhaust. And I do want to ask about the red and white striped pole. Was that for use to help tankers find the ammunition behind the line?

Re: Wespe ammo carrier
Thanks again
Anyway, it's a pretty weird model. Would anyone be interested?

I don't know for now, some parts I modified ad-hoc and some tools are not my design.
