Chris T. An 著者This is the first time for me to tackle a complete resin kit. And when I look at the individual parts, it will be a real challenge. There is an extreme amount of rework needed on each part. Hope I can get it to work.

Alex KA 3D-printed PZL Dromader???!!! Following for sure!! (The Grand Models cast-resin kit is perhaps above my skills - and I still wait for the Karaya injection one...). Your ag-aircraft & ground equipment dio will turn... monumental! 👍

Chris T. An 著者Thank you all for watching. Alex, I also saw the Grand Models kit for the M18, but I was frightened from some build reviews, there is a lot of rework to do on that kits. I have now the same or a bit more work, but I got the 3D file for free from Thingiverse.
I am really not a Pro in sratch building but I will try to engrave some panel lines and add some more greeblies to the plane. The 3D file is very poor in details.

Robert PodkońskiFantastic Dromader! (I wish I had one... I have no access to 3d printing, alas...😭 )

Chris T. An 著者Robert, you can have a look to the Grand Models resin kits. I am much more disappointed that there is no kit in 1:72 and no 3D file of a PZL 106 Kruk. I would spend some money on that because it would fit perfect to the Dromader and Cmelák.

Robert PodkońskiActually, that is something that makes me angry too - I would love to see (and buy) decent kits of "Wilga" and "Kruk" (not mentioning PZL M-15 "Belphegor" 😉 )... but apparently no Polish manufacturers are interested in preparing these.

Alex KGuys... let's look a bit at the bright side: who would have thought a few years ago that one day (today!) there would be kits of the Cmelak, the Dromader, the Grumman AgCat (in both 1:72 & 1:48!!!), the Piper Pawnee?! Some are short-run, some are cast-resin, some are 3D-files-to print - nevertheless, something is slowly moving towards that direction! So, yes, I do hope too there will be someday a Kruk available in 1:72 or a Belphegor! And your buys of such kits and your modelling work proves that there's some interest in such topics! Keep it up! 👍

Robert PodkońskiYou're right, Alex 🙂 "Always look on the bright side of life..." 😉

Robert PodkońskiI am afraid there is a spelling error on the decals, Chris... I see "Dromedar" instead of "Dromader"... The plane looks awesome!

Chris T. An 著者Robert, I can understand that it is confusing, but in the GDR, "Dromedar" was actually used. This is the German translation of the word. Feel free to search for pictures of it, here would be an example: [img1]

Robert PodkońskiI have not known about that, sorry Chris... That's really interesting.

NeulingEverything top notch here! But what about the excavator? May a combined diorama?

Chris T. An 著者The excavator is still coming. I haven't dared to go any further yet. Let's see, maybe I'll get motivated again in the fall/winter. 😉

Chris T. An 著者It is not easy to find out with which lettering the excavator was delivered in the color used in the respective year of construction. I'll have to see which decals I print out.

Ben MWhat a great project! You got an amazing result with the 3d printed aircraft.

Mark SherwoodThat's excellent, I operate a CAT M3050 Material Handler at work, very similar. Weathering on the grabs are spot on. 🥸👍

Chris T. An 著者Thank you guys. So now I can set all the small projects into place for the final diorama. Think I will need one more figure to show an excavator operator.

Michael KohlJust saw one cycling in the Erzgebirge and can only agree with Lukasz. Weathering is spot on.
22 October 2024, 11:54
Michael KohlChris, maybe you mentioned it somewhere, but where do figures and Trabant come from? Maybe you can even add those to the project's kit list.

Album info
I printed a PZL M-18 Dromader to add it to the East German agricultural flight diorama project. Both planes, the M-18 and the Z-37 were used in my home region more than 30 years ago.
This excavator kit is the next step for my diorama. My dad was a crane operator in the T174, filling what we called "Düngerstreuer". So it is the perfect accessory to the Z-37 Cmelák and the M-18 Dromader.
