Thanks guys!

I believe that there will be hazzard pay in for this one! Figures are not me at all.

Hope to have some fun and learn new stuff.

I could use some info on this vehicle. Really want to know what the inside looks like.

Did have a three color paint job or yellow with green?

 

[Sherman 18]

Got started!!!!!!!!!!!!

bunch of punch out marks that need filling.

I really could use some info or where to find info on this radio set up. I think there is a web site, just can't remember.

My broken gun tube, no worries I did it on purpose!

I even broke open the figures! hmy:

Thanks Panzerace007!

 

[Kreighshoer]

a bunch of pin marks? a bunch? tons of them!

great start jeff!

that's the line of trumpeter kits where you may face some trouble with the tracks! the tracks in my hotchkiss kit were way too long and a pain to shorten and i remember a thread somewhere else about the same trumpeter hotchkiss kits a modeller named "hotchkiss my ass trumpeter" ... so be prepared that additional work on the tracks is most likely!

stupid question - color or equipment?

:laugh: No not a stupid question, both if I could. I have a feeling it should all be yellow for the color.

Thanks Laura

plain yellow on all inner surfaces and hatches, floor red oxyde (if the germans reprimed the hotchkiss and the french used red oxyde too), driver compartment white (i'm very unsure here since i don't know if the germans would have taken that much care with a beutepanzer!)

Thanks Laura!

 

[MrT]

[Iron Mike]

Looking good, Jeff! I used the Friuls on my Bronco Hotchkiss, the Bronco tracks were unbuildable!

 

[Sherman 18]
