I was looking through the Plastics
mountain a while ago and found some forgotten 1/35 plastics kits that could be
useful for Dust Warfare. Suitably Dustified of course.
The first was a TKS, the polish
tankette, from Mirage Hobby. It is, as I mentioned, in 1/35 scale and Dust is
1/48. But looking at it I thought it would pass as a modified 1947 vehicle. My
thought is that the German industry uses whatever assets they’ve got and the
Polish factories are churning out modified tankettes to help the war effort.
Anyway, I built the kit with some
small modifications. I had to re-position the exhaust and remove some items
from the back of the tankette as they were in the way of the Nebelwerfer 42
that I borrowed from a Lothar medium walker.
In-game the gun will probably
represent a 30mm gun or something like that. I haven’t decided yet.
An easy little conversion project and
I’m very happy with how it turned out. More stuff for Dust and one less kit in
the mountain. Win-win.
