Rain is moving in tonight and tomorrow making a good day for glue.

James don't stress the hands so as soon as you feel the numbness coming on stop.

You've got plenty of time my friend

Hey James I think i'm catchin up with you :v

The ends of the fenders seem to be made of a lighter sheet metal and get damaged readily so
I made some dinks in them and ripped off the right front one.
I didn't like the kit handles on those fuel barrels,too thick, so I took some scrap PE frame and
bent up some better ones I think.

Looking great Tony. Do you have the fuel drums glued in place or just dry fitting? I was wondering about putting them on then thought it might be toucgh to paint. What do you think? I think I'll rip off your idea of new handles for the dreums too. Might attempt the wear and tear damage maybe. Lead on McDuff.

[Tony lee]

For what i've got planned I can paint them so yep they are glued down James.
I didn't make any handles for the ends that meet,to close to see them any way,only made four.
NP help yourself to what ever trips your fancy my man.

Rather quick build. I'm thinking to buy early SU-152 from Bronco...

 

[Tony lee]

Go for it Roman
I've got more sprue frames in the trash can than in the box and that's a good sign.

[Tony lee]

I just now ran out of parts except for a bunch of tiny tiny PE tie down loops.
I'll try to put them on but makin no promises.

Later

Looking cool Tony. Just curiopus but what is the bite out of the right fender just aft of the second fender bracket? It looks too regular shaped to be battle damage??
James

 

[Iron Mike]

Go, man, go!

 

[Tony lee]

James it's just bad camera angles. The edge is torn and bent upward.
I'll get a better angle on it next time.
