Neubau-Fahrzeug is a multi-turret tank that the German army developed in the first stage of the tank development battle. I think these rare vehicles I only got from a garage kit. At the time of purchase, I was glad it was released from Cyber-Hobby, likely to dominate the world’s hobby market. I hesitated to make it because it seemed valuable. Those people usually buy more than one, but recently I have been making airplanes and battleships, so I can not buy tanks that much. Anyway, it is a fun kit.
The three-dimensional body molding technology is impressive.
Because the Neubau-Fahrzeug has unique rollers, its composition differs from ordinary tanks. The small rolling wheel is similar to a Matilda British tank.
Even the rolling wheels of this side have pretty much parts built-in.
The type III and IV tank series is almost the exact driving mechanism, so I often make it like Neubau. Such special vehicles are interesting with their originality.

After I installed all parts of the roller and the suspension parts, there was quite a sense of accomplishment. I still have plenty of processes.
It is not a magic track; parts must be cut out one by one from the runner. If I cut it out with a sharp design knife, it doesn’t take much time.
Because it is a relatively large vehicle, the necessary length of the caterpillar is also considerably longer. The fitting of each part is perfect and can be rolled easily. I can easily adjust the sagging condition of the caterpillar, and the connected track system is good.
Small turrets are in front and behind and equipped with machine guns. In this case, I think it is better to attach a ball-mount machine gun to the left and right of the big turret.
I assemble a multi-turret which is the biggest feature of this vehicle. It is a turret-like a parent and children.

I built a Dragon Models kit after a long absence. It is a pretty sharp mold, even if there are no photo-etched parts; the OVMs, fire extinguishers and hammers, scoops, various straps, and clamps are excellent molds.
I put the mud and dirt. Matte-medium and fine sand, I think this is probably the material for architectural models.
I painted the highlight and also painted the camouflage red-brown. The order seems different. The painting is carried out while watching the condition while blowing German gray.
I just finished painting camouflage of German-Gray and Red-Brown.

Neubau-Fahrzeug is a multi-turret tank that was developed before the opening of the Second World War. In Germany, it was forbidden to possess tanks under the restriction of the Versailles Treaty, losing World War I, and was developed under the name of a large tractor.
This is a prototype tank. Only six in total were produced. One actively supported the infantry as it went on the Norwegian invasion, and the Soviet army tank destroyed the other by the operation of Barbarossa. It was severe to fight against the Soviet army, a kingdom of the tank. The armor was 20mm, and the defense power was weak.
The remaining vehicles were used for propaganda video images. I think that it was a happy vehicle. The appearance seems to be a strong, photogenic tank. It is exactly a paper tiger. But I like this characteristic tank.
This camouflage painting is the marking of the Norwegian invasion unit. This Neubau-Fahrzeug is a German gray base, so the white nationality mark suits it well. Although there was no instruction on the pasting place of the nationality mark in the manual, perhaps this is OK.
Umm, it’s incoherent weathering. The weathering interferes with the camouflage of Red-Brown. I guess it was a bit more modest. Well, Red-Brown is also a color that looks wrong as dirt… But that is playing the role of camouflage painting properly.
The muffler and the fire extinguisher become a good accent, and a sober vehicle looks a little better.
The red-brown camouflage pattern is so dirty that I cannot recognize it much. I just wondered, nearby looking at the heavy weathering feels like overdoing a distance of about 50cm. It seems not so much uncomfortable.
Red-Brown mixed a little gray and white to adapt in German-Gray. German-Gray is mixed with a little white.
The headlight is a transparent part and realistic with silver painting inside.
There is six crew in total. Probably the commander, driver, gunner for two turrets, loader, and shooter of the main gun.
I wanted to put a tank soldier later, so I did not bond the hatches that could be opened. I attached them with temporary glue. The hinges are too small to charge metal wire.
German-Gray-based tank bodies are not noticeable even if I give a lot of chips. The orange rust color may be a suitable accentuation.
Neubau-Fahrzeug was a hat I had never made, so it was enjoyable to assemble. I could paste decals beautifully. It was more exciting as making it for a long time was unusual. Still, many tank modelers have made it since Neubau-Fahrzeug injection kits have been released from various manufacturers.
