Demag D7

Subject:: Sd.Kfz. 10
Wehrmacht Heer (German Army 1935-1945)
23 Pz.Div.
1943 World War 2 - Southern sector of Eastern Front
RAL7021 Dark grey
Scale:: 1:35
Status:: In progress
Started:: September 22, 2021

Assembled, just needs painting. Horrible kit - about 50 years old, the plastic was so brittle and the glue took forever to dry for each stage. Used Revell glue with needle applicator and Tamiya Extra Thin. I know the glues are good from other models I've built. Wanted to paint it in Afrika Korps colours but it would show the many faults, so probably use German Grey.

Completed the PAK 35/36 37mm anti-tank gun but waiting to decide the colour of the half track as I will tow it behind.

Poor fitting parts but there is another factor. It was my first build in 25 years and the fingers are not as agile as before. Also the kit is 1970's and the plastic is very brittle. I used Tamiya Extra Thin Cement and also Revell but neither was satisfactory however MEK worked great. Waiting on a decent applicator to arrive so i can use minimal glue.
