Hi folks, finaly got some bench time this year and besides other builds I just had to open this box. It is Dragon's premium kit so no need to buy a lot of extra stuff  I used a set of Friuls from a old build and i used the plastic barrel for test fitting, a alu barrel is also in the box! The build is based on a knocked out Panther and i am making a HvS scene.  I dry fitted the wheels so you guys have a idea  I wanted to use set burned out wheels but they aren't the early style wheels. Does any body knows if this there early style burned out wheels on the market? besides the PE work today i also made the tube for the gun cleaning rods from alu foil and used the PE items from the kit to detail it.     |

Off to a great start Elco! Pardon the question, but what do you mean by HvS scene? I've been scratching my head trying to figure that one out...and I'm sure it's obvious...but maybe it's too early for me to decipher it.  |
