Thanks a lot, John!
Thanks, too, to all participants for making this such a great campaign!
By the way, is there any chance of a Trumpeter Mk. 5 campaign? I already have a kit lined up....

Woohoo, in time...
Out of interest, anyone know when this version of the Sd.Kfz.7 was introduced?
Between 1938 and 1944, more towards the latter. I can't find an exact date; just that the simplified truck-style wood frame was implemented later in the production and production ceased in 1944. So, maybe 1943?

If you need an extension on the deadline, let me know.![]()
I can't finish the kit now.
Could you extend the deadline to Aug 12th?
Best regards.

Thank you. I am probably going to replace the tracks later as the kit ones had a lot of flash, which is hard to trim off that vinyl. I also admit to some slight scratchwork; I accidentally cut off the tabs that attach the handlebar-looking thing over the gun and had to cut some PE scraps into new attachments. Some of the sprue points to the pieces are a bit thick and hard to tell if they are sprue or part of the piece.

Shell,
Excellent build, makes me want to pull my kit out and get started. Great interior.

And the finished project:






Paints are Tamiya, with various AK and Vallejo weathering pigments.

Okay, I started the campaign with the idea of building Trumpeter's Kanonenwagen und Flakwagen railcar, but the Flak 38 was mostly PE and really needing soldering to stay together. I have never done any soldering so have been trying to practice but was not going to get it finished in time...
...so I switched to Trumpeter's Dicker Max kit.




Build is OOB with minimal weathering as I don't weather a lot anymore unless I have a diorama/base in mind. That also allows me to add more later once I decide the setting.
