Krieger's WSC Detailing

[pzrwest]

Krieger asked me if I would add some detail parts from Amorpax to her White Scout Car. The following Armopax white metal and resin detail parts were used:
AP025-US 1917A1 Cradle for .30 Cal MG
AP095-US US Skate Rail Carriage X 2
AP096-US Early Style 50 Cal mount
AP113-US US Tie Downs
AP116-US US Truck Style Headlight Set
Here are some pics of the detailing so far more pics will follow.

Nice upgrades

Lend-Lease! Cool stuff!

I hope we get to see it when it's finished!

 

[Krieger]

Wow that's really coming along nicely pzrwest! I can't wait to get it into my hot little hands!

Update:
I have lowered the skate rail which was very simple to do once you remove the hidden screws. The it's just a matter of removeing about 3/8" off each of the supports on each side then replace and replace the screws. Here are the next installment of pics
This pic shows the skate rail modified and re-insalled back in the hull

The next 2 pics show the amount that was needed to be removed from the 3 posts on each side

This last pic shows the shutters removed from the front of the engine compartment, you will also see the new brackets that the hull screws are screwed into since the orginal ones are molded into the back of the shutter section that was removed

Update:
Well I was going to make it a surprize for Krieger reguarding the shutters but hard to post any pics of the front without giving the surprize away so here are picks of the working shutters and the headlights installed. I used the clear lenses from the stock headlights in the Amorpax headlights instead of the white metal ones
Shutters closed

Shutters open

Headlights

Next two the interior workings of the shutters

Update:
Well the work continues. Have replaced the gauges and speedo with correct ones and in the correct location. The speedo goes on the right and the gauges go on the left. I scratchbuilt a new steering wheel and turn signal arm to replace the stock 21C one. Here is the next set of pics:

In this next pic is a re-sized image of the real WSC data plate affixed to the dash

Since she is going to crew this with a Russian crew this nice Mk19 radio with both English amd Russian lettering from Panzerwerk would go very nicely in this WSC. This picture is my MK19 radio that I aquired. I placed a Bic lighter on tp to show just how small but detailed it is

 

[Krieger]

Awesome work!!! I love watching your progress.

[pzrwest]

Thank you.... Harold

Update:
Well the plant workers were hard at work and rolled another WSC out of the plant for shipping to Mother Russia. Now the WSC will fall into Krieger's talented hands to weather and send out to the waiting crew to advance toward the Germans. Here are the final pics before Krieger picks it up. As always comments are most welcomed.... Harold

 

[Sourdoh]

Very nice. Silk Purse out of the 21stC Sow's Ear. Great!

 

[Krieger]

I picked up the WSC from Harold this weekend and it's even better in person. Spent the afternoon today doing some weathering. I'm about halfway there. Here's a teaser shot. I sure love those working louvres!

 

[pangaloss]

That's a great shot, now you have my attention. I'm looking forward to seeing more. I know first hand what a fine scratch builder Harold is. With your eye for detailing and weathering this is going to be slick.

Cheers
Tim

 

[pzrwest]

Very nice Krieger I can hardly wait to see it as you progress with the weathering if this is just a tease. I'm glad you liked the work I did on it. I had wanted to have the movable shutters a surprise for you, but I let the cat out of the bag

 

[Pickelhaube]

I had to bump this up from the past.


I will be doing the same thing for my recently purchased Scout Car from Charlie .


I will be taking it up a notch or two by making Patton's Command Car .

Great job, great info on lowering the rail.
