Found this 3D printed Horch on eBay:






The driver is part of the print, the stowage is bits from Empress packs.

Pretty cool.

Rather spiffy!

The driver is printed as part of the vehicle? Must make it a bugger to paint.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Tad inconvenient trying to get the brush through the steering wheel...
His boots are still just primer and only slapped some field grey on his legs.

Other than that, a bit of layering on the internal wheel arches (mainly hidden with stowage) and the license plate bits being too small for decals , it's not a bad print.

They came with the vehicle, bit of a tight fit to get them inside.

Found a chap on eBay selling some of the RKX kickstarter prints, picked up the RAM Kangaroo. Fits in with the other stuff pretty well.
Same width as the Rubicon Firefly, little bit shorter, but I think that's as it should be...











Decals are from Warlord.

Yes, it should be a bit shorter as the  Firefly (M4A4) hull was longer than other Sherman variants and thus, presumably, the RAM.

It's quite a nice print, the three blokes are a separate piece (torsos on a round base) that just drops in.
Whilst rummaging through his other items I found the LVT-4 with Polsten. As I already had the Rubicon LVT-4 he printed me a rather nice Polsten that fits the bill, and a .30cal with shield.
Added some decals to it at the same time. Probably need to add more crud n muck to the sides, as the bits I touched up are reflecting the flash differently to the old paint...
