Looks like your guess was right on Tim. This is in my references. These show the conduit for the notek and the horn/light. Edit: Just looked again at your reference photo and realized that it is a photo of a real tank. For some reason I thought it was a photo of a model kit D'Oh

Grays on inkjets are usually done as colors and are mixed. Thing is, you now have a pattern which you could cut out of paper and could use as a mask pattern. Make the mask, set it on the deck and use some weight around the edges. There is also some double sided photo tape that 3M makes that is...

First time ended up as the disaster (no fault to Paddy) This time you know the kit faults and we will be watching as you make this an epic build.

Reminder to self! Wiring to headlights, and tail lights on 251. @Sharkmouth can help, just ask.

We have thoroughly enjoyed having you join us every time you have been in the meet Ian. The different perspectives and all are good to hear. Plus to those living in the US you have an enjoyable accent to listen to. :vgood: Apparently @Barney joined in for a short while and was knocked off...

Yup I have the old '77 beetle in my garage and need to do real work (Paint and mechanical) on it starting this next year. No rust other than minimal surface stuff in a couple of spots. I do mean minimal. It sat in storage for 30+ years. The only thing that is/was rusty was the gas...

Sorry Rich. They become quite dear to us especially if they are snuggly cuddly type.

Yeah, they either get it spot on, or they miss it by a mile. Kind of shows that they don't really have super detail oriented people doing the research and detailing. It isn't even stuff that would make it more complex, it's just that they don't really know the subject they are modeling as well...

What do you coat the decals with before doing any setting solutions etc.

@Rhino Hey Chris! Decals can be printed out. Laser printers printing will usually work quite well. Ink jet printing will need to be coated with something as the ink will do weird dissolve things with decal softeners.

Problem with the kit is there is no way to actually adjust the tension with the idlers. I guess the adjusters could be modified, but what a chore.

As for the sag on the tracks, I would check references. IF I remember correctly on the panzer III's they don't have much sag if any. Remember these are considered medium tanks at best and they didn't have the track problems that the larger and heavier tanks had.

In the photo you posted, it looks like the #3s were painted over and are darker. Not sure of the actual size of your model from the photos as there isn't any scale reference. It looks like the white dashed lines are fairly straight. I would try masking it off with a straight line stern to...

I think the Tiger is about 40% bigger than the Panzer III

Yeah the Panzer III is a big Beastie Tim. I think the 251 halftrack is a bit longer but not as wide. I picked up a Panzer 1 variant with a BIG gun a while back and it should be interesting.

I just can't get myself fired up about ordering any kits. The new Das Werk plane kit that James got in has a little interest and there is a recent ICM German biplane kit but Sprue Bros only has the Spanish Civil War markings available. Am really enjoying the 1/16th experience though am half...

Turned out really nice Paddy!

What's with the green wheel? Just curious as it looks to be the same pattern as the others. Yeah, I know they mix and match patterns.

Got to keep the War Dept happy. At least she wanted something that let you do an upgrade on your hobby.

Umm, maybe. I at least have a number of armor builds done or near done.
