Hiya brother Wouts! What a fine build ya got there, seems a fantastic kit bro.....what say you? Hi Bro, thanks a lot. It's a nice kit indeed. I'm especially impressed with the fit of the hull and other different parts. Generally it's more than ok, though not all of the sprues have the same quality of moulding...some have a bit more flash and ejector pin marks and some of the sprue attachment points are attached in difficult places. But generally I sure can recommend this kit, it's great stuff (though maybe a bit pricey these days) Cheers |

Man Wouts, that's a slug of PE. Well bent. And Deano's right, the tires make a huge difference.

It is looking excellent... can't wait to see it painted.
Now you understand why I tend to do better in GBs or duels. Duck was not part of any GB... enough said? LOL

Gary, would be cool to see you build it one day ^^ Leon, thanks a lot bud Smudge, me old fruit, thanks a lot  Deano and Jeff, thanks chaps, yeah, I knew it would be a good choice to replace the wheels Gee, thanks Cap'tan jackwagon . The light mountings gave me a bit of stress, but not as hard as on older builds of mine. Only pitty is that one of the lights points a bit more towards the ground than the other...oh well, crew accidently hit it Thom and Paul, gentlemen, many thanks for that! Andy, yeah I here you bro...deadlines rule, LOL Luigi, thanks chap ^^ Thanks Dan, and killer turret you say? Well, you ask for it, you get it...so here goes I managed to do a lot turretwise the past couple of days. Lots of parts but they all go quite well together. The gun barrel is in metal and has a spring for the recoil mechanism...a bit like on Dragons Tiger I's...don't get it, is there anyone who plays with this stuff? The barrel has a two part plastic casing...such a thing usually scares the you know what out of me...I tend to replace two part barrels with metal ones or full resin ones. I find it hard to fill the gap and sand it smooth...Hope I managed it...filled the seam with CA glue and sanded it down...I guess the primer stage will tell if I did OK or not     in this shot you can see that I messed up at several spots...sanded and cut a bit too much of the plastic on some parts, leaving a nasty gap :/  Nice surprise Photobucket wise...I was reaching my 2 GB limit, but I found out that Photobucket gave me a free 8GB  very cool!!!! Cheers

...drawback of etch that it takes ages... Ain't that the truth? Love what you can do with it, but it sure eats up some time.  Can't wait for paint! |

Holy crap this isn't crap !
Great build so far my Belgian buddy. Those wheels look mighty fine ! They carry a lot of weight, did they come this way or did you sand them ?
Best regards ! AG.
