I like the MG 34 on the turret, it's rarily seen on wartime pics but it looks very cool.

Wouts thank you! Need to check my paint supply to see if I have the colors I need.  Guy thank you! Interesting about the MG 34.I was browsing the net looking for ideas for a base and noticed the same thing. |

Let the painting fun begin Leon! Bill,since I haven't done any German armor recently I need to order some paints.  Not even going to try the LHS and find out they don't have what I need.  |

Anthony,seems they don't restock paint very often! Stopped by two weeks in a row and still no dull coat on the rack.  Besides it's cheaper for me to order online as they charge more for their paints. |

Leon: I was warned VEHEMENTLY several years back to stay away from this kit because the detailing is abhorrent! But you know what, there's nothing like a classic Tammy' to get the build juices flowin'! Quick build, great subject...it kinda' reminds us of why we love this hobby so much!
She's looking good so far. Any camo' schemes in mind? I noticed you said you were going to borrow a stowage idea...gotta' picture of that?

SJM,probably going with the box art camo! I'd like to try a ambush scheme.Have to wait and see.
Andrew was the one wanting to borrow the stowage idea!

Your build looks great Leon . And old kit but you'll do justice . Is the Tamiya liquid glue any better than Testors ? |

SMJ,nothing to be sorry about! I may add some stowage.Have to check the net and look at some ref pics first. Carl thank you! I've never used Testors so I don't know if it's any better. Dave thank you! Primer is always good,looking forward to getting some paint down. |

Dierk thank you! That is a broken wheel stub.My own stupid fault trying to put the wrong roadwheel on the wrong stub. There is still enough left for me to install the right wheels.Thank gawd!!!!! Anthony,glad that's out of way now! I looked for PE screens but none available for Tamiya. |
