MGM Uberlandwagen

Hello,

I am currently working on the 1/72nd MGM Uberlandwagen kit.  I assume these are old molds because there was loads of flash on the track units.  In addition, the track plate ends were completely smashed into several dozen pieces.  I reached out to the vendor who had MGM send me replacement track units (thanks Black Lion Decals).  Unfortunately, MGM sent me two of the same side track units.  I had to cannibalize one old set and piece together the tracks and use a replacement for the other side.  You can see the difference in the end on photos.  Luckily, a little mud will hide this.

In addition, the details for the platform under supports were solid triangles of resin.  I removed these and made new supports from Evergreen styrene strips and lead foil.  I am currently working on the superstructure cabin walls.  The kit parts are not good (being kind).

Comments and questions are most welcome.

Rob from the USA

Hello,

This is a really nice start. I have this kit and I also have some parts to redo, improve.
Your build will be very helpful for me.

All the very best,
