Thanks for the advice Steve, I've been looking around for different sites with wiring guides and such and have found one thats very helpful in that respect.

You wouldn't want to share it with me would you Mark? Pleeease!

On another note, my build is now finished! Will get some photos up later for your viewing pleasure.

Cheers,

James

I haven't started yet (have to finish Kettenkrad for Of Wheels and Tracks first) but at least puchased this monster:

Great, another KV varient to keep mine company I will be building the captured KV-II (Pzkfw 765(r) something) from Trumpeter, when I complete my models for other campaigns.

That looks great, James. A real interesting build that seems to be coming along nicely

Are the trousers for the commander based on any reference? I thought that these trousers made from Italian camouflage material were only used by the Germans after 1943(?) However, I could be wrong as I am no expert.

Anyway, he is a great figure under all circumstances

Ooooh I might be pursuaded to share it...

Here ya go http://www.laud.no/ww2/

James- Very cool bren carrier. I wonder how stable a firing platform the poor old beast was?

Thanks for the kind words Jesper, the trousers are indeed based on some reference material I have which show soldiers in Italy often had trousers tailored from the material.
I know the figure is from a 1941-42 set but I intend to set the scene in summer 1944 so I should be ok!

Base coat is now on boys!

Thanks,

I have painted on the camouflage on my Finnish BT-42. Quite satisfied with the result so far. Next the tracks will come on and some details will be painted....

More updates will follow later - comments welcome.

Finished product! Did not add any storage as I figured by this late in the war the Germans just did not have much in the way of stores. I weathered with oils and enamels. I added the cheek armour, exhaust from Formations, fender strips and used the kit tracks with the EEC's removed. Decals are from Bison Decals. Hope you like it!







Added extra road wheels in hull rear.

Since I doubt the original parts had the text "eduard 2003", I filled it with superglue. To be sure the text was gone, I brushed on a coat of mr. surfacer and sanded again.

Jesper, your build looks good. The strange Finnish camo is especially eye-catching. Great captured Beetle( Of course since it is modified can we call it a Beetle like the Russians did? Question worth asking).

I finally managed to open the box of my Trumpeter KV-2, namely "German Pzkfw KV-2 754(r). The kit looks great!
