Hobart's Hedge Trimmer - A Failed Funny.

[Old Wombat]

Almost, but not quite as bad an idea.

Hmmm, M3A3 plus Flakvierling.  Me likey.
I have a 1/48 M5 and now a reason to buy a 1/48 Flakvierling.
Thank you.

Here's where the Trimmer is at.  Tracks on and today I added the 'guards, steps and additional armour.  Also started a figure (nothing fancy, just a Tamiya one frankensteined from bits of the five in the kit and a resin hand).

I built that version donkeys yrs ago Rick ..all Tamiya bits ..not my best work by a very long margin...the Tamiya M5 wasn't the best but that Pak40 is bloody terrible...would build another one but AFV Clubs M5 is stupid expensive 😳 🙄

[Rick Lowe]

Yeah, they always were.
But it's based on an M3A3... not sure if they're any cheaper, though...

When I built mine I was in my teens . So so many moons ago now and I'm pretty sure I was deep into wiffy world already by then so if it looked close that was good enough..and also ..I'd have no idea what model M3 it was 

[Rick Lowe]

if it looked close that was good enough

Yeah, that was my Modus Operandi then, too... and very likely it still is...

Now a days tho  ...it's not close enough..it's 100% wiffy matey ..so everything is perfectly good ..enough

True.
