| Another kit from DrafModel. DrafModel has proven to be one of the best designers.The Pak40 and the LeFh are both something I call a 100% kit. Everything fits....no need to trim any parts. very few designers can beat this. So my expectations for this T28 are really high. I will also give a lot of thanks to Rafal for this great model!! |
| So the build starts with a fresh workbench. | The hull was first out.Drawing |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Frames are put together and glued. | And already now we can see that this is going to be a big model |
 |
 |
This was an very easy operation Because the fit is so good |
The hull is finished skinned |
 |
 |
| A lot of nuts and rivets | And more nuts |
 |
 |
| The front hatch | Looks like an escape tunnel |
Sideskirt stiffeners
 |
 |
 |
| Stiffeners for the skirt | A finished one | |
 |
 |
 |
| Painted and glued in place | I used humbrol 105 for this |
The turret
The turret is made of, first a lot of formers then skinned. It looked hard at first sight to make it look good, but the design and accuracy of the parts made it quite easy actually
 Formers put together |
 Glued and sanded the edges |
 Precise cutting of the flips |
 |
 |
 |
| Turret side skin | Flips bent down and glued | started to glue the side skin |
 |
 |
 |
| Two turets done | Turret lok really good | Laserparts for air intake |
 |
 |
 |
| Assembly of the machinegun turrets is straight forward building,Everything fits, and level of detail is very good. | ||
Main turret machinegun port and hatch
 |
 |
 |
At first sight the port looked a bit tricky, since it is half sunked into the turret wall.
But parts fitted 100%, so it was quite easy to get a nice result. |
||
 |
 |
 |
Cut a hole in the turret wall and just placed the preglued part inside.
Then it was to make the outer part with the machinegun. |
||
 |
 |
|
The main hatch was also easy to buld.Very good fit, and i went to the watchmaker store and bought some 0,8mm screws
that i used on the model. |
||
 |
 |
 |
This is one out of two similar devices on top of the turret. |
||
 |
 |
 |
The device is put together with some small parts. The ait intakes was also quite easy to build.
I just had to trim the lasercutted grids a bit so i got them to fit in under the "roofing" |
||
 |
 |
 |
| The cannon is made out of 21 parts plus some nuts.The assembly was not very difficult, but again precise cutting is vital here. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| The cannon really make a good impression when mounted on the turret!! | ||
