Title: Panzer-Selbstfahrlafette II 7.5 cm Kanone L/41 auf Zugkraftwagen 5t (HKP 902)
Post by: cromojaro on January 28, 2020, 07:06:38 AM
My next scratchbuilt proyect is the Panzer-Selbstfarhlafette II 7.5 cm Kanone L/41 auf Zugkrfatwagen 5t (HKP 902) (I'm making the Rummel's Funnies). But I dont' have the dimensions of this haltfrack. I googled it, but I can't find thsi info. Even in the Thomas L. Jentz's publications there aren't any dimensions of this amazing antitank vehicle. Do anyone knows the length, height and witdh? Or, the chasis used?

Thnak you in advance.

Thanks.

Anyone has the Nuts & Bolts Magazine #39. There is a 1/35 scale drawing of this vehicle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG8C_iUfQ4U)

I, finally, bought the Nuts & Bolts Magazine.

To make domed lamps I do the following:
Get a block of wod adn drill a hole through the diameter of the lamp you want to make.
Find a paintbrush handle or dowel around 1mm narrower than the hole - sand it to a nice dome shape
warm a bit of plasticard bup using a hair drier or heatgun until it goes floppy (mind you fingers!)
put it over the hole adn press the dowl in - hold for a few secs until cool.
Do loads... my hit rate was about 50% usable. 
You can then trim them off and you get nice neat domes for headlamps.

For lenses I use microsol crystal clear.
Paint the inside silver and the outside the final cover - don't for get the rim!
stretch a bubble of crystal clear over it - done!
PVA can work but it's less reliable.

Great idea and technique! Thank you for sharing.  :)
