Maybe use on 1/200 Yamato as bad 1/72 battery in gun boat build. Might be too large

Garage sale built and "used" model. Cheap. Now prime to be large 1/72 gun boat.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #3 on:** February 04, 2019, 08:14:21 PM »

In 1/72, this would be ~62mm gun. In 1/200, we’re talking ~171mm.

Their company insignia looks like a fucking SS division uniform band, yeah that's not
creepy.

Gee, let's call our company Das Werk and use an SS style insignia, I mean it obviously
has no relation the Waffen SS Das Reich Division. Assholes.

WW1 U-Boat is different subject. Don't recall seeing kits on such. Is big yet manageable 1/72 size at 31+ inches.

Yeah, but based on their company logo and the amount of Reich-fantasy shit, would you want to give
them any money?

Nein, but the EF-126 was flown by the Rssskies after the war.

I’m not going to buy any of it. I just don’t understand some people’s obsession with German/Nazi modeling. One of the reasons I turned to whiffing was if I ever saw another super detailed Me 109 I was going to hurl chunks. I hope their thinking doesn’t go beyond models.

The SM U9 is quite a 'famous' submarine - see here and here. Note the comment that the U-9 and the raider SMS Emden were the only ships which Kaiser Wilhelm II awarded the Iron Cross.

I never realised that the new Pz. Sfl. Ia 5cm Pak 38 tank destroyer VK3.02 shown above was actually meant to be an airborne vehicle supporting Fallschirmjäger.

Release the O.G.R.E.!

I always wanted one of these to kit bash with an M1 Abrams. The ~~Peddinghaus~~ Airmodel vacu-form conversion was the only game in town until now or scratch-building.

For postwar non-NAZI use, there's the aptly named Hacker Motormuli M80 a post war tractor built from the RSO. There's also the Waldschlepper Type Deutz 1500, a halftrack made with RSO parts.

That's really not very effective camouflage and concealment, lucky they are only countering WWI style armored cars.

Those look like GAZ-AA. Where's the fourth figure? Out in the forest taking a break? Or maybe the guy taking the picture?

Kit acquired from eBay a couple of weeks ago. It consists of a complete Porsche Tiger hull and a very large one-piece moulding of the armored cover. Sadly, it will not just drop on top of an M1 Abrams hull. The positive though is that I now have a template to use in making an armored cover for an M1 Abrams hull or pretty much any other hull that the original part does not fit on without modification. Anyone need a Porsche Tiger hull?

Wish I had known you wanted a template, I have the 1/35th scale templates for a Rammtiger
that were published in a Japanese armour modelling magazine back in the ‘80s.
Want a copy?

Is it just me or did they change their company logo? It doesn't have the SS symbol anymore but I have no idea what the present symbol means.

As I mentioned in the Takom thread the artwork was made for a CustomScale resin conversion, not sure why the artist would say it's for a Das Werk kit. The owner of CustomScale has helped with research for a few of Das Werk's kits, maybe the owner of Das Werk got the artist to make it as a favor for CustomScale in return.

There isn't anything for this conversion on the website (it was never officially released) but but you can find photos & information on their Facebook page.

Here is a photo that I took at the SMC model show in 2019 showing the resin conversion & in the background you can see the artwork with the Customscale logo in the corner.
