"Do you know what you are doing?"

 1/35 scale vignette of 2 German WWII soldiers working on a Schwimwagen engine. After looking at the details of the piece, you will agree that the question is relevant.


The Schwimwagen was a more recent release by Tamiya with a detailed engine. I needed an excuse to show it, so my warped sense of humor took over.

Also I had a Black Dog Resin set for this kit and managed to use some of it.  The block that replaces the back seat full of stowage, needs to be carefully ground down to fit precisely. You do need to be sure to NO install the back seat or any components here. The resin block is glued to the upper hull before carefully fitting together. 
Once the block is fit in place, the rest of the kit is easy. As always painted with lacquers and enamels.
