This is the late G from Tamiya , pretty much a brezze build so far so good . I'm still a bit up in the air for a paint scheme -I haven't done a ambush scheme yet so I think thats what I'm thinking right now . More to follow .
Going for the small stuff here - cutting out fine mesh for the grill covers
the mesh in place - pretty happy with the way it looks - now to do the same for the other 4 grills - thanks for looking Toad

I second that the tracks on the jagdpanther are way to short, they need a dip in hot water and a stretch under the hair blower to get the right lenght, then something to hide the track damage . They were a pain

Yes Karl, the whells are allready glued on - a bit of toothpick painting and it should be a easy fix
