Very nice start, it looks great. Is the front, part of an Indiana Jones truck? 8) 8)

Looks like a great start! Do you have a Tamiya 1/35 kit to refer to on the details? They are excelent for that! I always use Tamiya kits for referance when scratch building (the little I do). They are much better than using pics. 8)

No I do not have a Tamiya 1/35 to go off of, I have the 21st century one and pictures is all.

So you're just going to pump up the 21st SdKfz 7 a bit to account for the SdKfz 8's larger proportions?

I think it needs to be a bit taller:

The 21st century one i have is a 1/35 scale, it is the only scale they made so that would take a lot of pumping, so no I am just using it for reference. :D

21st made their stuff in 1/32. Their Sdkfz 7 is about right in length at ~214mm; the Sdkfz 8 12ton is almost 2 feet longer than the Sdkfz 7 8ton IRL and would be about 7/8 inch longer in 1/32. Heightwise the 8 is only about half a foot higher than the 7 IRL and the width is the same, so really just stretching it out a bit is all you really need. At 1/18 the Sdkfz 8 should be roughly 411mm long, or almost 16 1/4 inches. It would stand 6 inches tall with the top up.
