Comentários
Simon NagorsnikThank you James for your nice compliment!
For the fact that I hadn't actually planned to do this at all and can be traced back to a purely spontaneous decision without a real idea for it, I'm quite happy with it 😉
And of course thanks for your likes!
James CI'm always amazed at much detail you are able to put into these small scale builds. Awesome work Simon 👍
Djordje NikolicPure awesomeness 👌. All the detail is immaculate. It is cool to see Rheintochter model, I have seen the real deal in Munich, you nailed it!
Simon NagorsnikTahnks so much for all of your kind words my friends 😁
And also thanks to everyone who left a like here!
Neil PatrickVery nice Simon. There's definitely something steam punkish with this!
Simon NagorsnikThanks for stooping by Neil& Pepe!
@Neil: Yeah, similar to the later Soviet missile carrier systems... a bit disproportionate, but what the heck, it's just "what-if" 😂
Shar DipreeOnce again a phenomenal diorama full of beautiful details that doesn't show the scale. 👍👍👍👍
Simon NagorsnikA praise from the grandmaster of '72 himself 😊

Album info
My anti aircraft missile "Rheintochter1" on E-75 carrier.
(What- if)
(Modelcollect UA72092)
One of the almost infinite model variants of Modelcollect with their pro´s and contras.
No flash, no sinkmarks, sharp edges however, slight tolerances in the accuracy of fit and the lack of some details, but in the end, there are other things that can be more annoying than these little problems.
The swing arms of the suspension can be positioned freely, which makes it possible to adapt the running gear to the ground surface when using flexible tracks ?.
For this task i´ve used produckts from OKB Grigorov (drive sprocket S72154, tracks S72292).
Other conversions include:
Changed roof panel over the driver/ commander compartment to show open hatches, new front fenders and brackets, add brackets for the missing side skirts, climbing aids to facilitate the ascent (very convenient for the crew, and since this vehicle is only used behind the frontline - the Patriot system could serve as a comparison - these are also no problem with enemy soldiers), anti slip surface around the launcher, revised tools, front light and tow cables, AA machine gun, travel locks, eyelets made of copper wire, cut notches on the edges of the armor plates and welds.
The carriage of the missile is shown in a very simplified way and I had no motivation left to elaborately refine it.
That's why I hid everything under a tarpaulin made of Tamiya 2 component putty.
So, the vehicle is on the march, so that could fit in well - to protect the alignment mechanism from the weather.
In any case, the missile should catch the eye.
The crew comes from GeBo Figuren (German Panzer Crew 1946, GeBo72010) and have also received a slight modification to be able to position them correctly in the hatch.
The added decorative odds and ends come from my leftover box and should make the whole appearance a little more personal and lively.
