| I've been wanting to one of these for years, but too many projects and not enough time. Where did you get the kit? That Panzer III looks familiar too. _____________________________________________ HL Panzer III | HL Tiger | HL Jagdpanther | HL Panther | Mato Sherman Hooben Elefant | HL Pershing | HL Bergepanzer IV | Tamiya Leopard 1A | WSN T-34 HL "Golden" Pan-Tiger | M16 Halftrack | HL Panzer IV | Tamiya KV-1 | Tamiya Tiger

| It's a Panzer Parts kit, and it's pretty reasonably priced too. Hehe does it? I keep hearing that... is it a veteran of the field? I ordered a bunch of small hinges as the kit ones would have been a pain... so hopefully I can get the hatches working. _____________________________________________ Tiger I - Panzer II - Panzer III - Panzer IV - Chi Nu Kai - Panther G - KV-1b 756(r) M4A3(76) Sherman - T-34/85 - M3 Grant - SECRET PROJECT

| Added the flashing that was around the base of the casemate. It came partially molded in resin but on the actual vehicles it extended past the base, so I sanded the molded bits off and made my own out of aluminium. Used my trusty drywall gap filler putty to fill in a few places, and add a weld seam line on the rear. This stuff doesn't have much strength at all but it's very easy to sand and shape for moderate fill jobs... add some CA glue after it's cured and it get's pretty tough. _____________________________________________ Tiger I - Panzer II - Panzer III - Panzer IV - Chi Nu Kai - Panther G - KV-1b 756(r) M4A3(76) Sherman - T-34/85 - M3 Grant - SECRET PROJECT

| Progress! Got my hinges in the mail.. not bad, more than enough hinges for this tank for about $6 inc. shipping. Yay eBay. I also ordered a pin vise / micro hand-drill after watching Dean do all sorts of fine details that my full sized power drill isn't really meant for.. once that arrives I'll drill out the hinges and glue in some bolt or rivet heads too. I simply don't trust the hinges just being glued ...and now the painting begins. Again Krylon Ultra-Flat camo green from Crappy Tire. Love this stuff. I bought a can of Krylon Clear Coat, Satin finish to see how that works.. Don't really need it for this tank but if it seals in details like rust, mud and whatever extra decals go on then I'll use it more also. _____________________________________________ Tiger I - Panzer II - Panzer III - Panzer IV - Chi Nu Kai - Panther G - KV-1b 756(r) M4A3(76) Sherman - T-34/85 - M3 Grant - SECRET PROJECT

You and me brother....... I swear by that stuff. I actually pick-up the satin can yesterday and almost bought it. Too bad they don't make ultra flat otherwise I would be all over it. Let me know how it looks and whether you need to dull it again afterwards. |
