Holy cow! How many kits do you have on the go, and how do you find time to work on them all?

Having just completed the same kit, you might be interested to know that I found that the crew used to stow rounds in their wooden boxes on the floor of the fighting compartment, usually one layer deep. Without these boxes, it was difficult to see over the side and/or load the gun.
Have fun

lol thanks! I am obsessed with WW 2 AFV models & figures!! I just love modeling fighting machines.
During the winter months, I have a lot of time on hand. I will have less time come May - Sept...well...I will slow down some.
I have put so many kits together that I can have a Dragon kit put together & primed in 8 hrs or less.I can have a "tank" kit together even faster. Cyber Hobby kits like the Marder III have more parts so it takes longer. lol Tamiya kits I can have together & primed in 2 hrs.
I have about 6 kits on the bench right now..roughly.
I have a little stash going. See the picture below, that's about 1/2 of my collection. I usually build a model to the weathering stage & leave it..till I have a good idea what I want to do with it in a diorama.

I've just shown my better half that picture of your room and told her that when we get our own place together I'm having my "man" room and its going to be looking allot like that. Needless to say she wasn't impressed, she wasn't impressed at all haha however I must say I'm very very jealous. Looking good though!!!
