Very impressive model. Can you tell us a little bit about the Tarnstoff - are those decals (what brand)?

The original machines were very large - your excellent model shows just how large. That must have taken a great deal of patience and even more skill to complete: I really congratulate you on an outstanding model and mini-diorama. No wonder it took a long time to complete. Please show us more of your work.

Thank you so much for posting the photo. This is one model I was really looking forward to seeing built up and you have done it beautifully.

Outstanding as Bud says, I'm sure you're justly proud.
I'll tackle mine one of these days and seeing this is highly encouraging :)

The lozeng camouflage are original decals from Roden kit.

Here are some pics from build:
