Sd.Kfz. 11, North Africa

This is AFV Club's kit with Link Model Workshop tracks. We added some details using plastic strip and metal foil, new windows from clear plastic sheet, and enhanced the folds in the tilt.

The kit builds very easily but someone at AFV Club seems to have lost his calculator while desinging the rear body, nothing fits quite right! Correcting the fit was not a difficult job, however. The track pitch is all right, but the sprocket teeth are too wide and too large in diameter to fit the track, so some cutting and sanding was needed. We assembled the track using a simple home-made jig.

The model was painted with Humbrol enamels, washed with Winsor and Newton oil paint, and weathered using pastels. Transfers came from Archer. The stowage is from various sets, the water containers are from Dragon's very useful Afrika Korps set. Finally, note the tiny Tron acrylic lenses in the binoculars!
