Title: Tamiya 1/35 schwimwagen
Post by: kpnuts on August 10, 2020, 04:04:51 AM
What you must be thinking surely this should be in armour (tut tut dont you know me by now)

This was designed by Ferdinand Porsche and I decided I would do something a little different with it (Shame it's not 1/12 how good would it look with a Porsche 934 engine powering it) 

Anyway let's get my head back on track (I get so many ideas floating about in my head when I get a new model)(and they seldom have anything to do with how it should be) 

So heres a pic of the box.

You may notice the price in the corner (we were at hunstanton at the weekend and in the current situation I felt obliged to support the lms)

Added some primer and tacked the body together for the first colour.

There will be another colour (in a Porsche 911 theme)

It is in the Armour section - well, BtS's version, anyway. ;)

A Porshe 911 Schwimmwagen? Hmmm? (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcS0PG7j4y2U-88Q87tGVUxxecSdr-8dxfn6GA&usqp=CAU)

Oh, that is cute  :smiley:

Where's Barbie? ???

Alas, the World's Smallest Barbie scales to 76 mm ... so more like 1/24th  :(
