No time for modeling (boring thing to always repeat myself...) I decided to publish my pending Kleine Panzerbefehlswagen (Dragon 6222) build started a few months ago. The plan was to learn&practice soldering so I bought LionRoar's etch set (LE35057) to the kit and was myself surprised on the result. Not bad for first try though still far from my dreams :) BUT no injury caused by the hot stuff yet - that's also a good point, isn't it?
A LionMarc Panzer I B-hez gyártott műgyanta láncfeszítőkerekét is megvettem annak idején, mert jó ötletnek tűnt, és mindössze valami 4$ volt az ára. A készletben azonban gyakorlatilag egyenértékű minőségű, ha nem jobb az érintett kerék (a 6218-as készletben még a "régi", cserélendő fajta van, úgy tudom), így a műgyanta darab megy vissza a dobozba, későbbi szíves felhaszálásig.
I bought LionMarch idler wheels but will not use as the kit's piece has the same level of detail. No problem, it was cheap and... good for the spares-box.

First I upgraded the main hatch of the commander's cupola. Used some epoxy putty to simulate the pads.

Soldered the grille. And broke the plastic part while trying to cut out the original. But I had one spare piece from Dragon 6230 kit, so no disaster happened at all.

The juicy bits: that was not easy to solder. Believe me.


I'll cut the plastic fender and replace it with the etched one - when I'll be brave enough. But first of all I would like to sleep 6-8 hours in one turn. That's my dream :)
