I am aware that it has its shortcomings but I intend to fix what's within my abilities (not the wheels ). I do need some help though:

1) Can anyone suggest a good colour match for the "black and green" paint scheme? I've been looking here for inspiration and could very well do one of these! I am a Tamiya and Gunze guy by heart!
Tamiya German Uniform Grey for the green and Nato Black

2) Is there an after-market item available for the missing turret MG? Or some convenient mainstream kit where I could pilfer one?

- Get the Academy WW2 Machine gun set of 50 and 30 cal, will also give you a new tripod for the 30 cal.

3) Does anyone have a suggestion for a source for a crew? I suck at figure painting but I am prepared to give it a try at least !

- Miniart British Armoured Car crew, any British WW2 sets in Pixie suits (Bronco & Miniart plus many resin or convert the Tamiya British Stretcher party. Firing line and Accurate armour do nice resin ones

4) Saladin decals? Available anywhere?

Accurate Armour - drop them a letter

5) Pioneer tools. Even Magnus the Aircraft-guy realises that the kit items aren't the most refined on the planet. Can I find better ones somewhere?

Spares box from WW2 armour kits or Academy Allied AFV Accessories, Accurate armour etc.
