    Accidenti, meno male che ti è capitato solo con lo scafo, altrimenti, sai che sorpresa dopo aver terminato tutto, vedere che il carro perdeva i pezzi un po alla volta :asd:

    Qualcuno ha notizie su questo "strano" mezzo??? :scratch:
  7. Dopo un colloquio specializzato ( :asd: ) con il titolare dell'omonima ditta "Vorthex Company S.p.a." ho deciso di riutilizzare (Cambiando il titolo) questa discussione per segnalare tutti i modelli che nonostante tutta la nostra buona volontà, non sono riusciti nel loro intento primario, ossia diventare un modello finito, andando ad occupare un posto di rilievo non nella tanto agognata bacheca ma bensì nella pattumiera... Postate quindi le vostre impressioni per far sì che la nostra esperienza serva agli altri utenti per evitare di acquistare i kit che sono irrealizzabili per le loro pessime caratteristiche! Grazie per la partecipazione!

  9. Si Flaggy, grazie per lo spaccato, quello che avevo trovato in effetti non era molto esplicito, non tanto per le immagini, ma più che altro per le diciture in lingua non proprio usuale!

    Tanks curiosi

    LAUSTER WARGEL LW-5 Bergepanzer At the request of WaPrüf 5 (Department for the Study of Engineering Equipment) in 1943, the firm Lauster in Stuttgart built a modular vehicle to be able to tow new heavy German armored vehicles in development for the German army. When the two separate armored units were mated, each equipped with a Maybach HL 108 motor developing 235 horsepower, the vehicle could pull up to 53 tons (about enough to tow German armor up to a Panther tank). The machine was thoroughly tested on the ground, where even a test spade was attached to dig trenches with satisfactory results, but the LW-5 did not proceed past the prototype stage despite its potential. Judged as too slow, cumbersome, and with only pivotal steering, the LW-5 towing concept faded into obscurity as latter German heavy tanks were usually towed by other heavy tanks via cables and in some cases, even experimental armored RATO units! The Wargel part of the designation comes from the Swabian word “wargeln” which means to roll.

    Nose Art

    Nose art painted by Sgt Amos Nicholson 343rd Bomb Squadron, 98th Bomb Group Kabrit, Libya, North Africa DOPEY (version 2) B-24D-45-CO Serial No. 42-40268 Painted by Amos Nicholson. This is the second version of Disney's "Dopey" that was completed by Amos. The first was painted on the left side of "Arkansas Traveler". As with all of his Snow White figures, Nicholson painted his character facing forward towards the nose of the B24. This plane survived in service until being condemned in November 1945 after the end of the war. However, its combat career is as yet unknown. There was at least one further version of "Dopey" which was painted with a forward facing character but its jumbled colourful lettering was stacked diagonally upwards unlike the title displayed on this B24D. On 17th April 1944, the plane suffered a collapse of its right main undercarriage and severe skin wrinkling which suggests possible twisting of the airframe. Whether or not this is 42-40268 or another aircraft altogether is not clear. If the airframe was twisted then it is unlikely that the plane could have remained unsalvaged until 18 months later. Anyone who can clarify this is invited to make contact -- please. Decades after painting the original version 2 of "Dopey", Amos Nicholson was asked to paint a wall mural depicting the B24 with its distinctive nose art. This he did and duly signed his masterpiece -- something he failed to do on the original aircraft during the war years.

    Tanks curiosi

    Mannschaftstransportwagen ARW Magirus The Magirus variant of the ARW was slightly better armored, so in order to save some weight special cast aluminium alloy center roadwheels were developed and manufactured for this model. Also the turret was different, it had a two crew but with 2 MG 08 7,92mm water cooled machineguns, no cannon installed. The machineguns mounting allowed some independet movement and the turret itself could turn 360 º by hand.
