NEUBAUFAHRZEUG

This is Amusing Hobby's 1/35 Neubaufahrzeug.

 The kit was built straight from the box with the exception of the metal tracks which are by Fruilmodel.

The kit comes with a fair amount of photoetch, but about 80% of it is optional which is a blessing.

 The kit is well molded with nice detail. There were no fit problems and next to no flash. The instructions were clear and remind the quality of the model is nearly on par with Tamiya.

There is one exception. The stock tracks are a problem on this kit. They links are workable and the Modeler is given a jig to hold the tracks while the pins are pushed in. But it doesn't always work, so I got the Fruilmodel tracks instead.

All in all this kit was a pleasure to build. The modeler is given options for plenty of extra detail and I am looking forward to another Amusing Hobby kit in the future.

The model was weathered with a combination of pin washes, 'dot' streaking, paint destruction, sponge chipping and pigment powders. The mufflers were done exclusively with pigment powders over a brown base coat.
