Wespe ammo carrier

[Edumardo]

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):

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?

[HERMAN BIX]

Those are ranging poles HDP.
Used to align the gun onto its optimum firing axis .

I like this in a weird way. Whatever I think, it is beautifully executed and built. Thank you for showin us.

[MonsieurTox]

It looks fantastic !

[Edumardo]

Thanks again

Great work Edumardo, will you release the files? Of course i will add them to the list in that case

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

Anyway, it's a pretty weird model. Would anyone be interested?
