The folding tarp of the 7/1 is fake. The beams of the cabriolet roof are on different spots, so lets build them the right way an think up the plan to get a tarp on it later. ![]() |

A fellow modeller put his 9/1 built on facebook. A nicely getting along project but he didn't have some of the details that are different. So I tried to find a picture in my build report to help him. None that show all he needs. Just to lead you across the picture: The box on the inside is shaped to save the drivers knees while entering. The outside bodysheet has a rounded corner top rear. The plate and upward bracket are for the canvas top. I would have replaced the brackets to fasten the canvas door, If I knew beforehand how much work it all the other fixtures would be. The low row of rivits is for the earliest sd.Kfz9 only. (Late type bodies vor the 9 and 9/1 are welded). |

Well, I got lucky( or so I thought). The Tamiya KM11 sd.Kfz.7/1 has a linnen tilt that is only a bit to narrow. The rest of the dimensions are spot on(!) Let's go with that for now. ![]() |

The layout of the canvas is quitte a intricate piece. Green stuff? No, it's not what it needs to look. Or at least with my skills in getting this stuff to do what I want it to do. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

over the summer only a few hours have been devoted to the Famo's. The boom parts are a nice step further, but it's a lot of work. |

After a lang pause I finnaly got a tast for Famo again. The deck is finnaly ready: all sheets cut and fixed. The doors through the deck are very different. The biggest has 4 hinges, the smallest 3. All have a handle that flattens into a D shaped hole in the top sheet. The big box on the end has a flench bolting it to the deck. |

Another set back. The storage boxes desides the bench are twice as high as on the original sd.Kfz 9. I found a few pictures that confirm this field modification(?) The left box on the original 9/1 even shows another special thing. The lid is shaped in a way like this photo. Unfortunately I did not get a picture from the left side of the vehicle. It's only a few inches from the left wal.... |
