Good Work so far! I built this kit 20 years ago for my grandfather, as he used to drive one back from the Caucasus to Romania in the war. Really a pleasure to build, the kit itself and especially because it was for Opa Hannes 😀

I have now finished the Schwimmwagen having added the final pieces and decals. I have weathered it as I think it might have been in Russia (1944). The kit is a nice one to build, I enjoyed it. 🙂

Many thanks for the kind comment Mirko. I'm sure your Opa was very happy with the model you made for him. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Petr K, Robert P & Alberto M. 👍
