Hi Everyone ...
I am now going for the next build in this very interesting hobby of mine. As I mention earlier, after I finish my model 101 on the tiger tank. My Financial Controller have done QA/QC and gave permission to procure another model, the SD KFZ 222.  I still choose a 1/48 scale due to the following reason: - To pratice small detail handbrushing - I would like to learn additional skill .. like washing and hopefully can do weathering as well ( with all the sifus guidance of course) - A 1/48 is sooo cute  After much referance ... I would like the model to look like this  The washing of parts has been done  Progress build will be done on the next post ... as I need to send my son to school .... |

Progress 1 : Main Assembly
I just follow the instruction on the manual, step by step .... I glue the main parts first, and the smaller parts and parts that needs to be painted with different color than the base color of the model, I put it aside for now .... Part 1 - The plastic is a bit different la from AFV Club ... I think I like AFV club better   Part 2 - I already spray primer on the spare tire's compartment this one need to be in khakis color  Part 3 - The tires I put it aside for now for paint  Part 4 - if you notice the hook at the lower end not aligned perfectly .... aiyaaa too excited nak buat cepat .....    Ok will continue with the progress on the next post ... wifey nak ajak pegi bank la pulak hmmmmm |

This unit in the photo belongs to Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 501 (Means: Heavy Tank Battalion 501st). You can notice by the tiger insignia. Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 501 is first heavy tank battalion to reach Africa during late 1942. The main force consist of Tiger 1s (early version) and Panzer IIIs. This sdkfz222 I believe is a recon vehicle for that battalion. That means, it can go with your Tiger in a diorama. Perhaps your next project can get the "Erwin Rommel's Grief command vehicle". |

Bro Masterqq
- wokeh .. nanti saye update on the GB .... diorama GB errr saya akan cube .. sebab tak pernah buat lagi diorama .... Bro Kuman, - hahahah ..... selagi wife kasi beli .. jangan lepas peluang untuk build ..... Progress 1 : Main Assembly (cont) Part 5 - process percantuman upper and lower body berlaku - quite chalengging as the plastic is not fit perfectly .... that is by a lot of scars, will sand it before paint it   Part 6 - small part such as front light and such so ignore for now Part 7 - paint the wheels and start to put the additional parts ( i dont know what it is call  )- At the same time, prime the main body assembly with Mr Surfacer 1000 - A lot of rough edges so will sand and smooth it before i paint the main body. - I saw this one video in youtube where they use bedak and gam gajah to close all the small small lubang on the build.. so may try that , if not kena carik putty lani ....   Part 8 - part yg paling bes Hull .. paint bende bende kecik ... - guna brush no 1 ni ... kalau dapat brish 00 lagi senang i guess   Part 9 - mesh cover .. need advise how to glue this two part together  - Bro bro semua .. would like to get your help on how to remove access glue on the bronze part here .. sedih sedih .. tu gopoh on this ...   |

wah..very fast,,,, teringat zaman aku masa mula2 dulu...seminggu 2 kit boleh bikin...'
so far so good... pasal mesh screen tuh, try gosok dengan CA debonder. kalau takde gosok dengan kertas pasir slowly....kat lubang mesh tu boleh cucuk dengan jarum...sand smooth and slowly.... good luck.... |

HI everyone .. I am now back to Malaysia ..... so will continue on the progress build
Progress 2 : Paint Job - Due to my wife morning sickness ( my laziness as well I guess) .. i have unfortunately spray the main body and the hull of the build with Tamiya Dark Yellow spray.  So i took only about 3 minutes to paint both part .... as compare to a couple of days with hand paint on my Tiger Anyway after the paint job .. I started to attached the main body and the hull and the tires as well Test fitting first before gluing the part:   Done the attachment   A few more minor detail now:  I feel the current build is not clean like my previous build ... need to be more focus and detail after this .... I should not rush this ... anyway ... my wife gave me a personal work space for my build ... yessss thanks dear ...  |
