A nice first ship model. 

Nice work on your first model

After some extra research I discovered that this is not a flame trower tank .

But a Russian OT133 flame trower tank served as the basis for this tank. 

Info found on this website  http://www.andreaslarka.net/ps164007/ps164007.html The photos on the website have copyright so I can't show them here.

Made new side pannels with vision slits

The kits biggest errors are fixed. Now the real assembly can begin.

I'm currently doing this sort of mod with a pair of Tiger II's

I know. I follow you with interest. 😉.

Found (to late) that the driver hatches are not the same as in the kit. So a demolitian job.

The improved version, hatches and others still to be placed

Dry test with the turret

My idea, without obligation

Glue  the platic port on a piece of plywood (or wood or thick plastic). Port and plywood must have the same dimensions
You can then drill a hole in it where you can glue the cannon (drill the hole before gluing the port / plywood on the model.

a sketch

I used almost the same method

Result

Be careful making the openings the planking is quite thin.
I have an idea for your cannons, but no time today to make a sketch of it.

Looks good.

There are several buildlogs of this model
I have had great satisfaction with this kit.

Will follow with interest. And if you have any questions i will try to answer

Thank you for these nice comments.

Started on the chassis

Closing the openings in the hull (inside)

Outside 

Hooray Hooray
The 5th and last one is ready.

The build of these models started a long time ago, was stopped and forgotten. They were found again and are finally finished.

All 5 ready and tagged

like 5 ducks in a row 😉

It was probably great to go for a fun ride in the mud 

To everyone who followed this

for following, comments and likes

Very nicely done Ondrass 👍

Sorry to read this.
Building something that you don't enjoy is indeed not good ☹️

Good luck with the Surprise 👍

Next the recoiless 7.5cm M20

Made something that looks like a M20

Ammo "racks"

Ready for painting

Finnished

4 done and the cable layer is under construction. The finish line is in sight 

Most tanks are not made for tall people.
But on the T26 the 3 crew members each had their hatch for access. And quite a bit of space compared to some other tank designs.

This Finnish version had 4 crew members (an extra member for the flame trower) and this 4th member did not have its own hatch.
So in case of emergency ... not so good for him.

Next build is a Russian T26 converted in Finland.

This kit has been in my possession for a long time. The idea was to merge this build with the T26 observation tank (top of the picture)..
But the build is too different, that's why they come in 2 build logs.

The kit and the plan.

The basic error with this model is that the turret is on the wrong side of the hull (Not Mirage's habit, usually their kits are flawless)

This is also why the build of this kit has always been delayed for so long.

And I once had the chance to see this tank during a visit to the Parola tank museum in Finland 

Where I also was the proud owner of a Stug III (for a short time 😉)

a Panzer IV

And even a T72

Ps,

I was 7 years younger then...

And If you have the opportunity to go to Finland. Definitely go to Parola (it's worth the effort)

Build is started, pictures in next post.

Very nicely done 👍

Thanks for comments ( and likes) much appreciated 👍.

Next is the ambulance.

I don't think there was a standard version of this. Most seem to be field conversions and no 2 look alike.
So a use a photo as an example, with some free style additions.

Base vehicle with 2 stretchers 

Painted and ready

And a Ford Fordor de luxe 1942

Thanks for folowing

A newly started Aeropiccola build log. 

Interested?

Nice start. 

All this work without a table saw 👍
