Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Thankya kindly fellas for the kind words. Ian - They came with the kit. They are strong too, as they didnt bend easily. Im really impressed with this kit overall. And more progress. Pulled a late nighter. Im want to start the turret today. The jerrycans are not glued in place.  By bbd468 at 2012-08-10  By bbd468 at 2012-08-10 Thanks for looking gents! Gary |

Thanks you guys!  Dicky - I agree completely. Some white and a big black UN on it and it would look right at home among the others. Very intresting how the Germans engineered many vehicles so well but they still employed many thousands of horses. I guess when they had a psycho nutjob as leader, their priorities in materials were ill placed, yes?  Gary |

Thanks fellas, Wouter - I use Tamiya Surface primer thinned heavily with Lacquer thinner. Smelly but the best primer ive used. Just my opinion of course. Ian - The Figure i plucked out of a Dragon Panzer Crew set. LAH Russia 1943 set i believe. No update today as ive a sore throat and a Nyquil hangover. That stuff is strong. I quit drinking years ago and this stuff kicked my A$$!!!  Gary |

Sorry to hear you got derailed with the sore throat and Nyquil effect, hope you feel better soon!
Glad to hear the build log was helpful Gary, you've got this one all set for paint, looking sharp!
