Sent off to you yesterday:

The roadwheels will need some sanding of raised lines. You will need drill out the roadwheels and idlers to fit the Tamiya axles. Use the resin hub cap instead of the Tamiya rubber hub cap to fit the wheel to the Tamiya hull).

Wow what a package! that will solve all my problems (atleast the ones concerning this build).
I have been busy with that screen, used a nylon stocking for the mesh and was just about to start the frame around but then i wait with that

And the roadwheel is perfect!
I searched on internet and i just found ones with tires with holes in the sides, and i needed one without.
Now just waiting for the mailman then :dance :yipee :dance

Thanks Saul

Here is some updates, the screen (made of a nylon stocking, chance Veerle is into modelbuilding to so she understands when i ask for things like that )

Toolbox to be.

And between this i made some nametags for the club table when we go to shows, think it's nice when you see the names of the people sitting behind the table (maybe you just seen their avatar in a forum, and don't know what they look like :idonno )

The mods are looking good, Mats. How about shaving that molded handle off the fuel tank and replacing it with a piece of scrap PE sprue? Easy but effective. :drinks

 

[Bagge]

thinking about that, wasn't going to be so much mods from the beginning but one thing leads to another.... and also thinking of changing the fenders (the extensions, will give them a more banged up look)

It ALWAYS begins that way...

Ok, i took the step, one fender is cut away, and the replacement is done (just need the reinforcement at the back edge).

And one good thing about this...... i had to drink a beer!! :drinks

Also busy with the small toolholders, found some in a Pz III set with working hinges not gonna go there, making them out of thin evergreen strips and it's looking ok, pics coming later

Got some work done on the t-34 today, it was a real boost to get the letter with all the details today
Here is some pics of the progress, had to repair the covers for the exhaust, i guess they had a rough ride from NY to Belgium even though it was good packed (no big problem it was just to glue them).

And here is the wheel, or what's left of it....

[Iron Mike]

That is really coming together! :drinks

 

[Sharkmouth]

I am really glad they made it!

Found some time to do a little on this one today, almost done :dance

Made the clamp and the other bracket on the rear side panel (don't know for what it is, never seen it in any other pics)

[StuG]

Great work so far...Good luck... :drinks

 

[Bagge]

Thanks StuG :Hiay

Decided to make new handles for the fueltanks to, after all the other mods it would look strange with those plastic blobs there

Folding a 3mm handle is a challange with big fumly fingers like mine...

But it was a succes :dance
