Hi guys, the BT-7 is done, so it's time for the Rusty Admiral diorama build log...NOT ! ;D Before that I will build another piece of armor mainly out of the box, Cyber Hobby's Mid production Hetzer. So again I have this message for the rivet counters : you're gonna have a hell of a job telling me what's accurate and what's not. My target is to paint the thing and weather it in a realistic way. I hope you like the subject (Hetzer n° 10.000.000.001 on the internet). Tomorrow the build will start, I've already spotted some sink marks on quite visible places and Flash Gordon is quite omnipresent too  The kit :  My favorite fuel while building this German hunter :  Cheers friends !

Andy approves the choice of fuel and hoping you will share with us. ;D Count me in... always thought the artwork on those boxes are cool.

Looks like the second kit you've shown will be the first one you'll end |

spud, that's right, no rivet counters present on this forum, artists however... Checking the references I have to say the content of the kit looks quite good ! Thanks Gary, the past hours I've spend weren't sponsored by Gordon. It was coffee I drank to fight sleep as I was building the hull. I'll have a Gordon on you later on today my friend. Carl, 10% alcohol is the minimum for a Belgian builder. Below that beer tasts like strong water LOL. Andy, the boxart looks attractive that's right. Luigi, that's a good one, have one on me ! Wouter, here's the first update ! Prof, I like them too, it must be the sneaky low profile and the design without built-on turret ! Bill, I've got a whole lot of these little Gordon babies, enough to build a couple of Hetzers !   Still some small stuff to do and then it's splashing time ! Best regards ! AG. |

Guy, I can have the marder, not the beer Unfortunately I'm coeliac and I have to stick with gluten free beer (like the Estrella Daura or some others) Very nice job, you're becoming a quite fast builder |

Luigi, I've built the hole night to get this far, and I'm quite tired now...thanks !
T, I love them too, can you imagine I have this Panther A Late (Normandy) kit in the stash and I just keep picking these smaller tanks. I've even never built a Tiger I !!!
Wouter, I'd like to hit it with paint this weekend !
Andy, naah I'm not that fast, I just kept going all night long LOL!!!

That's the beauty of the Hetzer, not a whole lot to it when you get right down to it in terms of parts and assembly! Nice work, the Gordon's must be working! |

If I was not to sleep, you'd notice it. I'd probably attach the wheels to the roof  |

Luigi, o I'm sorry my friend, didn't know that. My entire family, me included, is allergic for many things, from horse hair to cat hair, from grasses to dust...and food allergies too (for example a peanut allergy on a pretty dangerous level). tojo, I like to start painting soon, that's what I like the most, so I went full throttle ! Gary, I can assure you that it wasn't decaf I drank ! Bill, now it's time for a Gordon indeed, first stage of the paint work was done. Luigi, wheels on the roof, that must be quite cool !  Next is a layer of Dunkel Gelb jawohl ! Best regards ! AG. Have a nice weekend ! |

Need to build 80 kits per year until I'm 100 to deplete my stash. Maybe I should sell a couple.

Man, you're flying through this one!
Hetzers look so evil in black.
