:rotf I don't think a wash down was a real priority in the ETO in say February 1945.

Thanks!

Ok last night I worked on some of the details one of which was the grating that protects the exhaust. The kit part is just a solid hunk of plastic. The Mk1 PE set provides one, but all that bending and tiny parts. I wasn't sure I could do it, but guess what it wasn't as hard as I thought. Looks good when done.

Next I painted the the tools and finished the fron fenders.

Last I tightened up the track. They probably don't need that much sag, but I think it gives the tank a little style.

Next comes the tow cable and stowage.

Comments welcome.

This would have been a wet storage version so it would be harder to get the "Ronson" to light.

Strangely I was about post the same message !! - For me, inspiration almost always comes from seeing other peoples' projects. And because I lost the StuG I'd 95% finished in the recent house move, I now have nothing to show for my recently rediscovered AFV building skills (such as they are).

Got a Tasca Firefly and a Tamiya (early) M4 in the stash.... :hmmm
