Tamiya's fabulous 1/35 scale FAMO kit in the coming weeks.
The crane conversion will contain over 80 resin pieces; 2 pieces of

Test-shots of some of the conversion parts, including elements of the
chassis, track-guards and alternate, single row seating. Images of the
crane parts are not yet available. |
When it is finished, Tiger Model Designs' Sd.Kfz. 9/1 conversion will
represent a production type vehicle. It will include a wobble plate so the crane
can be set at up to a 12 degree gimble. The boom and 4 outrigger legs will all
be fully adjustable, and the crane will hold the weight of a Pzr IV turret with
a resin interior, turned barrel and PE schurtzen!
The images on this page are test shots of the resin parts that are already
completed. More parts (mainly the crane body and photo-etched parts) are still
in production. Additional images will be posted when they become available.
The conversion is due for release on or before 5 March. The model may be
pre-ordered from Tiger Model Designs via their website. Pre-ordered
conversions will be shipped free of charge.
