Great to see the M-50 on the move! Nice Red Primer application, too. Thanks Ian !!
Worked a little this week, I wanted to work more but the Bergepanther cooked my patience,
Dragon IDF M50,

Dragon Panzer I, worked a little on the running gear,
and finally the Takom Bergepanther, adding the other wall was a big pain in ...

it took me almost 3 hours but it still isn't perfect.. it will need some putty, the arms need to fit on both sides, I had to cut some of the tips otherwise I would be still working on it in Summer 2026,
![](https://i.ibb.co/vjMFLpM/4167.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/9WQYpTr/4168.jpg) Step 6 is done.
this will be next,
That's it for today !!

That interior/ suspension looks awesome!!!!!!! Thanks Ian, but well I had to cut the tips of some of those arms. Also the arms that go under the transmission are a mess to align, since both walls have arms and holes that need to be aligned with the other side...
Trust me 3 hours working on this... that's the only solution I found, cut off some tips. Anyway, I also need to paint that last bar over the transmission, it's still in bare plastic. Still a lot to work on here.
Thanks !!

Thanks fellas !!
I will leave the hatches opened, I still think much of it will be visible.
I won't start anything this month, I have to keep my sanity until the end of the year... I will compile a small list of what's on the bench at the moment and what to expect in the coming year, so stay tuned !!
