About Me

My photo
I'm a UK based modeller, specialising in German and Commonwealth armour. I have worked on a commission basis for enthusiasts all over the world, created masters for one of the big 1/32 resin "ready made" model companies, and have recently helped out on some projects for Archer Fine Transfers and other 1/35 armour accessory companies. I build for myself - when I have time! - concentrating on Stugs, Pz IV's and UK and Commonwealth WW2 stuff. I also post my work on www.track-link.com, www.missing-lynx.com and www.warwheels.net. Please leave comments or questions on the blog or on any of the websites I post on. If you would like to contact me, just click on "view my complete profile" below for my email address. All the best, and thanks for visiting! Dave

sWS Cargo Carrier

This is the Italeri SwS with 37mm Flak built pretty much out of the box with some Eduard etch for the mesh side screens. I used the 37mm Flak for another project, so it has been my intention for a while now to get it built as a cargo carrier.

The build was straightforward, although the link and length tracks were poor - there was only just enough to complete both track runs. I would recommend aftermarket tracks to anyone contemplating building this kit. The Eduard etch set was mainly for the gun, but the mesh side screens were good, and fitted OK.

I used some spare metal drivers indicators for the front fenders, and some better quality DML lamp bases and tools. The cargo is a mixture of Reality in Scale boxes (88mm mainly) and Tamiya Jerrycans and Oil Drums from their Opel Blitz kit.

The figures are by Hobbyfan, and I was delighted with them.
