Kettenwagen- Antiskid Plate.

Antiskid plate from Lion Roar was added to the mudguards.

Kettenwagen- Dashboard.

In the kit, the dashboard is set slightly towards the driver. I will make the main switchboard right in the middle.

Main switchboard cut away, and sanded till there was only the face plate left:


Backing plate was fashioned from 0,5 mm brass plate:


Another- thicker plate with the hole for the switch:


Copper wire was sanded square, and soldered to the plate:


Dashboard dry fitted:


Dashboard finished. Map compartment added on the drivers side. Fuel tank, and fasteners by Aber. The dials and facia will be added during the painting process.


After major surgery Miniart figures fit well.

Kettenwagen- Battery.

Battery box was soldered using excellent PE by Aber.



Back seat was also reworked.

Kettenwagen- Seats final.

I have exchanged the springs on the back of the seats for new ones- made from 0,125 mm wire for more accurate look. The previous springs were somewhat too big for the scale.
Fabric sleaves, and leather straps connecting the cushions with frame were also made.

Kettenwagen- Front Seats

Tamiya seats are slightly simple.



The frame was soldered using 0,5 mm copper wire.



Padding was sculpted, and few creases added in.




Springs were made from twisted 0,2 mm copper wire.




Few side brackets added.




The seat needs few details to be called finished. Leather straps for securing the seat to the frame, and couple of wingnuts to fix the ready seat to the floor.

Kettenwagen- Engine Vent

I opened the slot in the panel.



Aber PE. Really tricky bit. I used the 0,5 mm wire as the hinge.

Kettenwagen- mudguards finished.

Mudguards are finished, and the slight damage was applied to the front.




When the CA cures completely i will sand the joints smooth, and add the antislip strips where the door indents are.
