Hi again guys!
I will continue the posting of the Kübel.
Since this isn't a cardmodel forum I have to rewrite a lot of the text that goes with the pics, so I might be a bit slow here......and my english isn't the best either, so I hope you will understand.

The papermodels comes in a kind of books, where you can cut out the parts you need.
The book of the Kübel
contains 5 pages of written instructions that I dont understand at all

and 10 pages of drawn instruktions and 17 pages with parts to cut out.At this stage it seems I have taken water above my head.....It might be a harder build than thought, but I take it as a challenge.I have searched for construction reports with no luck in hope to make it a bit easier.
But here we go!!

The book in 1:16 and a page of parts that are in very good quality, both the print and paper.

I started with the hood, and the support for the spare tire.
The drawing of the supporter.And as we can see from the drawing all parts is numbered, but not all parts is shown as a drawing, so for me as a non polish reader/speaker it becomes often more like puzzles....

Parts are cutted and ready for mounting.For kutting the straight lines I use the exel knife with the 11 blade, looks more like a scalpel and is almost as sharp.For the half round parts I often use a nail scissor that is curved.And for the complete round parts I use the Olfa circle cutter.

The parts are mounted on the hood and some small parts left to go

I have left out part 62 to "save" it from destruction

With the spare tire in place.

The underside of the hood containes the gaz tank, with the valve on it's underside.

I also glued the sides on 1mm karton and cut them out.

More to come.....
