This was the last armor kit I butchered. Looking forward to seeing what someone such as yourself does with it. Teach me your ways oh master of the Panzer  |

Are you seeing some pics upside down? While uploadimg i noticed some were flipped but when posting everything was ok. Of so i upload new ones and adjust it here.. A couple of close ups. Reworked the weldings and when painted the missing rack will come out nice  Got some 'welding' to do  |

Post by wbill76 on Apr 7, 2015 14:21:32 GMT -5
Yes, for me, the 1st and 4th photos in your previous post are showing upside down...hence the gravity-defying comment. These last two are right side up and look good! Nice touch with the weld marks for the missing rack. |
