Very beautiful model and appealing photography!

Sebastian Meyner
Thank you Neuling, much appreciated mate!

Christoph Schnarr
Wonderful Thunderbolt in a different but still very attractive camouflage scheme 👍

Sebastian Meyner
gorby, Neuling, Neil and Christoph; thank you very much for the kind comments, mates 👍

I have to agree, British/Commonwealth paint schemes make american planes much prettier 😜 All jokes aside, I really like to go with the more uncommon users of a type, than to replicate yet another "ace plane".... glad you like it!

CaptGPF
Well done, especially the fine and subtle mottling!

Sebastian Meyner
Thanks, mate! 😊

CaptGPF
This is a paint mule?! This looks awesome!

Sebastian Meyner
Well, it was one when I re-started the build 😉

Sebastian Meyner
Thanks mates!

@John: those are Eduard's pre coloured PE seat belts that came in the Löök set (with the instrument panel)

I look forward to the great finished product!!👍😊

Mr James
Looking mean and clean so far. I've not seen such and animal as this before. Is it a prototype?

Sebastian Meyner
It is indeed a prototype, hence the kit is a bit plain. I added some stuff from the spares box to make it into a believable "what if".

Tom B.
Those little details really make this look like at least a testing or even in-service vehicle. Curious to see the paintjob on this one 👍

As for the vehicle, it was quite an interesting attempt to "rationalize" vehicles in the 20t-class previously filled by Panzer III, IV-derived vehicles made in 1944. The tank variant was among the earlier ones to be dropped, as focus went towards the Jagdpanzer-variant of it mounting the 75mm L/70. This latter vehicle had a hull in construction when the whole Panzer III/IV was cancelled in late ´44 if I remember correctly. The running gear for this was tested on a Hornisse/Hummel (another vehicle technically combining Panzer III and Panzer IV elements)

Sebastian Meyner
Thank you and welcome on board Tom B! Yes it is an interesting vehicle indeed, especially if you have a weak spot for what ifs like I do 😉

Jan Peters
Great job all'round Sebastian 👍🏻

Sebastian Meyner
Thanks mates! 🙂 👍

Vytautas
Looks nice and interesting! Great model and impressive luggage. Kubelwagen is the most interesting vehicle for me, and I making one too at this time.
One little thing - maybe the license plates are too white?

Sebastian Meyner
Thanks mate, much appreciated! Concerning the licence plates: I finished this kit almost 7 years ago and I trust I have learned a thing or two since then 😉

Mr James
Yummy.. who doesnt like a well presented spit. 🙂 Great camo

Sebastian Meyner
Thanks mate, much appreciated🙂
