Kettenwagen- canvas.

Canvas

I decided on the folded roof.
First fold was created using alu, and lead foil.



Update on 31 august.

Canvas was folded, and some junk added. Not sure just yet about the layout, but sort of like this.

Kettenwagen- Tow hooks.

Tow hooks were drilled, and crossbar was made from brass tubing- slightly indented to indicate the damage.
Small loops were made from 0,10 mm copper wire.

Kettenwagen- Searchlight finished.

Kettenwagen- Searchlight.

Searchlight.

Kattenwagen- Jerry can.

Edit on 17 August.
Jerry can mounting bracket update, and the can cap upgraded.

Kettenwagen- Horn.

Horn.

Horn is from the kit, drilled out and furnished with Aber grill.
Bracket is scratch built.





All the parts dry fitted to the body to check the overal look, and to get the inspiration for the work ahead.

Kettenwagen- Fuel intake.

Fuel inlet.

During work on the windscreen i realised that in folded position it overlaps the fuel inlet.



The original inlet was sanded smooth, and new one was built on the side of the body.
Similar pipe was installed on one of the first prototypes of the Kubelwagen.



I use the Tamiya cup, and some scratched details to complete the set up.



With such wide fenders, as on the Kettenwagen it would help in refueling the vehicle i imagine.
