Interesting! I can see all kinds of ways to show this beastie going BOOM! That could be a fun build. Weather folks agree or not, "My Opinion" is that anyone with distribution amounts of the "Evil Chemicals" should get the long sleep as there WILL be people harmed from those chemicals. So, no...

Thanks for asking Alex. So far so good though I am looking forward to another surgery to remove a Lipo Sarcoma in my left thigh. This will be surgery #3 for this. The big problem is that the tumor is wrapped around the sciatic nerve that runs down the leg. So far it hasn't been an issue but...

I don't think that they are actually tires so much as bonded solid rubber around the wheels.

I have been following this manufacturer for a little bit and their stuff looks really nice. It is good to see that you think the same of their products. Yeah pricey but very well designed and made. I have been eyeing the version with the micrometer feed on this.

@Sharkmouth Saúl on the Das Werk SdKfz 251 kits there is lettering "DUNLOP" and sizing on the bogie wheel rubber. The driving wheel also has rubber on it but no lettering. Not sure if I have noticed any lettering on the rubber for the Panzer IIIs in my limited references.

That is looking really good Paddy!

All I can say is that is one VERY busy ship. Build the hull in a week. Take the next 6-8 months to do all the superstructure and STUFF.

Looking really good Doc! Hope all is going well for you as you were having life difficulties the last time you posted.

I am a bit surprised that there isn't a decent interior available for this. Recently I discovered that several of the quite expensive Trumpeter 1/16th kits have full interiors which explains partly why the are so pricey.

The Pak 40 was almost ALL castle nuts. Which after seeing a real one fired on Utube I can understand why they would need castle nuts and split pins to keep things from coming loose.

I am an old draftsman that got into working with PCB/Schematic CAD for making PCBoards back in the 90's. Around 2000 I got several copies of 3D Studio Max and worked with it for a while till my computer at the time developed problems with the hard drives. Won't use RAID 0 ever again. Fixing to...

Welcome to the group David. We are located all over and thus there is a wide level of experience and knowledge. The general rule is to be helpful. We do critique each other during builds, but it is always to point out issues such as a "did you notice the ......" usually pointing out something...

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...
