Hi Guys !

I've started my Revell JagdPanzer Kanone build for the 'Tank Killers' Campaign, and I've finished the lower hull and therefore need to paint the wheels prior to adding the "Perfect Scale " resin tracks.and upper hull.

I'm stuck for the wheel rim color

Are the road wheels and return rollers all steel, or do they have rubber rims ?

All of the pictures off the 'web' I have are inconclusive, and could be taken either way.

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

Paul

Thanks Oliver,

I've sprayed the Wheels and return rollers Nato Black, and I'll use a template to fill in the Gelboliv bits

Hey Paul, the Kanone's looking good! May I ask where you got your Perfect Scale parts from? I have a kit yet started one but really wanted to get the updated parts.

Thanks!

It's looking good Paul. How are the resin tracks ? If I'm correct these are Perfect Scale set.

Hi Jeff, Oliver,

thanks for the kind words, yes they are the prefect scale set.



I got the tracks and other bits direct from the manufacturer at:

http://www.perfect-scale.de/product_info.php?language=en&gm_boosted_product=Jagdpanzer-Kanone-Kette--Diehl-828G-&products_id=38&

They are fragile in the guide area, and there are extra links in the box to replace any that are broken in transit.

I've made a little fixture to help put them together with CA glue - so far so good.


Cheers

Paul
