Choppa Nutta
I wonder how you might paint the interior ?
interesting model though 🙂

Mike Kryza
Hi Choppa - I build the fully interior, ok. 🙂 but here is no need for me in painting these parts. After finishing the model you see nothing. And it saves time, saves colour and saves !!money!! -- 😉

Choppa Nutta
fair enough 🙂
looked like a cool interior though 🙂

Christian Meyerhoff
Great start Mike! I will follow this one for sure! Is there an option to display all the hatches in open position, or do you have to cut them out ?

2 August 2015, 17:57

Mike Kryza
Yes Choppa, it seems that the interior is nearly complete. Only some cables etc. on the engine...
Christian, my friend, you're welcome too. 🙂 - You can build all hatches and doors in an open position. You only have to rework the hinges. No problem for you... 😉

Aaaah der Mike baut einen Panzerspähwagen, sehr schön 😉😉😉

2 August 2015, 18:50

Christian Meyerhoff
Well Mike, that`s good news. So with open hatches the interior will be visible.

Choppa Nutta
I would imagine making the turret removable wouldn't be to difficult either 🙂

2 August 2015, 19:14

Mike Kryza
Schön das Du auch an Bord bist, Jörg. 🙂
Yes Christian, but as I wrote in the introduction this is a contribution for the scalemodeltrophy.eu. And I to obey the rules... 🙂
Choppa, to remove the turret is very easy.

Ingmar Stöhr
Nice! I'm sure this will be another excellent model!

Hallo Mike! Schön zu sehen, dass Du mit dem Wettbewerbsmodell schon losgelegt hast. Nur um Missverständnissen vorzubeugen: In der Kategorie B1 dürfen die Luken offen dargestellt und der Innenraum gezeigt werden - muss aber natürlich nicht sein. Nur eine Figur ist nicht erlaubt, weil das Modell dann in die Dioramenkategorie B3 fallen würde.

Very neat. I was wondering when someone would start this kit and put it on the interwebs. 🙂

2 August 2015, 20:05

Mike Kryza
Thx a lot mates - next step is the painting. I will try the modulation style... 🙂
Ingmar - Deinen Optimismus möchte ich auch manchmal haben... 🙂🙂🙂
@Julian - I think tehre was one mate here on SCM who built up this kit too. I believe he built the french version.
@Stefan - recht hast Du. 😉 - vielleicht gibt es noch eine Dreingabe. 🙂

Mike Kryza
OK - I have not much pictures, but...
At first I use a light grey primer to locate mistakes. In the next step I sprayed dark grey from the bottom and a lighter grey from the top.
After this I tried 😉 the modulation style for the first time. I used grey tones in various shadows - for me it's ok, but the pics are not good enough. In the last pic the Panhard is sealed with a gloss coat. Ready, after drying for the decals... 🙂🙂🙂

Veli-Matti Sivonen
You are proceeding fast with this one. 🙂 ICM´s kit is such a good quality though that building phase doesn´t take long. I am planning to modify my second one to depict later production version in french colours.

4 August 2015, 18:10

Mike Kryza
Hi Veli - thx a lot. You're right - this is one of the best kits from ICM. I think they become better and better. And in my opinion they are good as for example Tamiya. Sharp details and not overdone with the parts.
And there is room for many conversions...

4 August 2015, 19:27

Holger Kranich
Yeah Mike, Looks cool! But you are already in the weathering stages, hu?

6 August 2015, 09:26

Kim Branders
Great start Mike.

6 August 2015, 10:43

Mike Kryza
Thx a lot Kim. --- Holly you know SCM is not "What's App". Uploading pictures here is "heavy work" for me too. Keep cool my friend.

6 August 2015, 18:04

Christian Meyerhoff
And I hope it never will be like this... 😉

6 August 2015, 18:09

Mike Kryza
Christian - denken wir beide das Gleiche... 😉 Da bohrst Du in einer Wunde... 🙂 (Ich weiß, Ingmar macht die wesentlich besseren Fotos. Ich lerne noch. 😉🙂)

6 August 2015, 18:32

Christian Meyerhoff
Nö Mike so war das nicht gemeint. Ich wollte nur sagen das "Watt'n Datt"
(Ostfriesische Version von What's App ) nie die Qualität von SCM toppen wird. Und das Ingmar "The Master of Pictures" ist , steht sowieso außer Frage. Das hat der gute Mann wirklich drauf ! 🙂

6 August 2015, 18:51

Mike Kryza
@Christian - 👍

6 August 2015, 19:14

Christian Meyerhoff
Quod erat demonstrandum 🙂 Happy modelling!

6 August 2015, 19:23

Acki
Klasse Teil, Mike! Die Filter bringen richtig Leben in das Modell. Tolle Details mit den Nieten und um einiges besser zu erkennen, als auf dem Telefon. 👍

6 August 2015, 19:26

Mike Kryza
Danke Acki - hätte vielleicht die Modulation noch etwas kräftiger ausfallen lassen können - bin aber ganz zufrieden.

6 August 2015, 19:49

Ingmar Stöhr
😳

6 August 2015, 19:56

Acki
Ist wahrscheinlich nicht das letzte Modell gewesen, daß Du gebaut hast. 😉

6 August 2015, 20:30

Mike Kryza
Acki - man weiss nie... 🙂 - Dir und Deiner Familie erst mal einen schönen Urlaub...

7 August 2015, 15:16

Joerg R.
Ich hoffe, lieber Mike, du hast keine grossen Probleme mit den Luken bei diesem französischen Spähwagen gehabt 😉😉😉

9 August 2015, 05:38

Mike Kryza
Hi Joerg - it's not fair. I nearly forgot the disaster... 😉🙂🙂

9 August 2015, 18:46

Choppa Nutta
very nicely done Mike, great colour and tone, looks aged in the rainy outdoors 🙂

10 August 2015, 19:11

Mike Kryza
Thx choppa - I'll do my best... 😉

10 August 2015, 20:00

Choppa Nutta
....... and your best is most excellent ! 🙂
I wonder how many different colours you used to get that rained on rust coming through the paint look ?

10 August 2015, 20:46

Mike Kryza
Hi Choppa - not very much indeed. Streaking grime for Panzer Grey, S.g. for DAK vehicles and S.g. for Dark Yellow vehicles. And on some places a little bit wash for green vehicles.
I have not a strikt plan, I often worked "out of the belly" (= a german adage) 🙂

11 August 2015, 17:20

Choppa Nutta
.... your "gut feeling" as we say 🙂

11 August 2015, 17:25

Matthias Weiss
Ohhh amazing! Want this kit as well...

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
👍 👍 👍 Nur leider kann man die ganzen Innereien nicht mehr sehen

20 September 2015, 21:16

Rui S
A really nice model and great weathering. Congratulations Mike

20 September 2015, 21:22

John Van Kooten
Very good looking Armored Vehicle, Mike! Beautiful! 👍 👍 And I agree with Jonns, always a shame the interior is hidden from view once the build is complete.

21 September 2015, 05:06

Ulf Petersen
Very well, Mike! Nice to see such a rare subject.👍

21 September 2015, 05:23

Mike Kryza
Hi Mates - thanks a lot for your nice words. Think about a second one with open hatches... 😉 - In 2025??!! 🙂

21 September 2015, 18:23

Kim Branders
Nice wheathering Mike. Grtz Kim.

I'm not a "ground unit" fan, but Mike you've made a great job with this armored car 🙂

23 September 2015, 16:13

Erik Leijdens
Same here, but i like this one very much. Really convincing model 👍

23 September 2015, 19:51

Mike Kryza
Hi Cristian, hi Eric - thx for your nice comments. I think it's time to built a plane 😉🙂 - Too much planes planes in my stash. Let's see what's coming up in the future.

24 September 2015, 18:49

Mike is building a plane! I like that! 🙂

24 September 2015, 18:56

Erik Leijdens
Looking forward to see a plane build by you Mike 👍.

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
A plane? wowowow! 😛

Jeffrey Riedesel
Great weathering!

25 September 2015, 11:24

Mike Kryza
Hi Augie - thx. I'm happy about your visit.🙂
Hey mates - I'll try building a plane soon. But have a little bit patience please. I have to finish some of my projects.

Mike Kryza
Thx mates - this is really a very nice kit.

Album info

I used the very fine kit from ICM. But I decided to build the german version of the Panhard. All parts for the german version are included in the box, but no hint in the instruction sheet. Maybe ICM will spent us later on a german version.
I tried to interpretate original photos and in this case i identified other hatches and an antenna.
It's interesting, a lot of the 204er had a different look.
This build is a contibution to the scalemodeltrophy.eu.
