Bill- Thanks! You know me... I like perfection. LOL Will see what I can do over the weekend. I am off today after several long days at work going thru annual audit and it ended last night. Glad its finally over! Dicky- What did you expect? I build so slow and I am fat (just little)... thanks to those beer and steaks! LOL Ben- It was worth it. Took me about more than an hour dealing with those head lamps... it would have taken me only five minutes without PE.  Yup, that's my plan for #3... follow the box art but make it even more dirty! WHY NOT! Bob- Hey! Glad you found your way over here! Now post pic of your F-15... I am anxious to see how big it really is.

Andy, by the least your tiger still rolling... I just set aside mime... getting less time in modeling especially with the last quarter of year due to work load.  |

No Andy I don't drop. Oooo the though of dropping that on a model made me a little woozy  I press it on the plastic and kind of rock it back and forth. Then I sand off the ridges it pushes up. |

Rob- Thanks boss! Don't we all love candies? LOL
ER- Finally finding more bench time over the weekend. Hope you can do the same for your shelf queen Tiger. Thanks buddy!
MF72- Really like Voyager but I still find them so fragile and too complicated in some cases. But still better than nothing for this kit. Glad you liked the improved look. Thanks!
Marc- LOL! I have to try that one day... thanks!

Guys- Finally found my mojo over the weekend... Corrected the head lights... thanks Wouter again!  Bill, see why I got confused... I should have checked my reference books first. Duh!  Kit parts for barrel cleaners? Nah!  Voyager set... Yes! It comes with brass rods. Instruction wanted me to use .05mm styrene rod but it will not fit. So used dress pin instead... LOL  Clasps for steel cables...  Used masking tape to hold the rod from falling back inside the loop...  Result...  All tools are finally glued to the hull...  Thanks for looking!

Guys- Back from nice dinner celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary with my wife. ;D
Bullardino- Thanks man!
T- Dig your new avatar! How do you make it work? I have one clip but it didn't work with Photobucket. Thanks for stopping by!
Bill- Thanks buddy! I should have known better not to trust those Dragon instructions. It was late and I was in a rush... LOL glad they are fixed.
Dicky- Anytime for you my friend. Sorry I don't have as many references as you are offering us but at least I can help.
Never figured out why the Germans had all tools cramped into tiny space between the hatches at the front.
Bigjohn- Easy... ANY strong booze will do! LOL Thanks man!
Kenny- LOL! Thanks... hope I am almost done with PE.
ER- Taking notes in English or Filipino? LOL Thanks for stopping by!

Little update here... finished the steel cable for the other side. It was a lot easier even that I didn't have to cuss this time! ;D  It is how it looks now...  Don't you ever wish you were a dog...  Almost done with the hull... only need to add front fenders then I can finally move on to the turret. Thanks for looking! |

Wouter- LOL about the bucket! Be sure to recycle the water... thanks my friend!
ER- You sure made me hungry too again... thanks alot!
MF72- Agreed! Like Gary's suggestion taking alot of pictures before I have it painted. Maybe include one or two on the diorama base or something like that... thanks really appreciate you following.
Anthony- Thanks buddy!
Gary- OHHHH! You got one of those Wittman's Tiger? They are selling for hundred or much more on eBay. Maybe we can work something out... a trade for my Tamiya Pak 35/36? They are very valuable and very collectible... $5 on eBay! LOL THANKS again for tagging along!
