More p.e. work


Replaced the moulded-in convoy light.
The rod is stretched sprue.




Kit rear fender vs p.e. fender



Glued in place



Ouch, my eyes
and I've got one more to do....

I'd sooner spend my own money helping new modellers than to spend at an undeserving shop.

Looks beautiful man! And when you add the dinks, dents and bends to the fender, it will make the work all worthwhile!

On to the tracks!
(I hate sanding the wheeelssss for tanks.... )


The very taut rubber tracks..



Stuff with tissue/toilet paper/ paper towel whatever in between the lower hull and tracks for the sag. Fix in place with lots of super glue.
Going to leave it like this for it to take shape.

I suppose you applied the glue on the tops of the wheels?

I did the same, but used Tamiya extra-thin cement, cos these tracks are glue-able plastic.

Yes, they are glueable. I first layer on the cement. Then whack on the super glue

Never-ending photoetch.......


Done up the right-side rear fender.
Banged it up a little, also a bit on the left side.
Keeping it mild, because the other fenders are plastic, I won't 'damage' them.



Tiny lifting hooks and latches all over



View port guards




Painted the gun breech white (per instructions), because I'll be leaving the top hatches open...



...and the gun breech is slightly visible



That 88mm is loooooooong



Happy to announce, my best glued barrel yet.....
the only putty used, is at the muzzle brake tip
