Thank you - I'm glad it was useful

Intrestingly enough there are two versions of this, one that i have comes with 3,7cm antitank gun being towed and completaly different figures & accesories.

I think I've seen it since I made this video, though it seems to be quite rare. I believe the back of the truck is also slightly different (ammo storage?)

Weathering here is spot on. Anyone who's worked around military vehicles, knows first hand how brutal the elements are - even to this day. I can imagine any Kupp Protze still in service towards the end of the war, would have been mauled.

@@ModelNerd Do you intend to build the Quad including the limber and gun? Just add a crew for instant diorama. ANOTHER great, vintage Tamiya kit. I LOVE the Tamiya LRDG truck. After all the years since it first appeared, no other manufacturer has attempted to produce and release a similar, competing kit. Nothing looks better than a LRDG loaded up with tons of guns and supplies for an extended mission in the desert. I look forward to your upcoming efforts with your Tamiya oldies but goodies.

The quad is painted and the decals have been applied - I just haven't done any weathering on it yet. The version I have is only the quad (no gun). I'm not going to use the kit figure because he is in desert gear but I've done a European camo pattern, but I do have a figure from a Miniart set that should work.

In my opinion. The Tamyia Kits. .are the Best. All pieces .no Problem to build. No cuting ..all is okay.I have the Krupp Protze in my collection ..this is a beautiful kit..Greets from Christian

Fantastic build💯 your paint really brought it to life 👍 I remember that kit when it was released and wanted it just couldn't afford it. Had to wait till my 20s to get it. Girls alcohol + some other things caused me a brain fart 😁 It has always been enjoyable back in the day, that was state of the art. I have it again and the AT truck by Tamiya. In my stash might have to add it to my Anzio dio. Again fantastic build.
