Next Step.. Future and Weather the Interior, then put it together.. looking forward to the 'excellent fit' that Lord Nelson has warned me of!

I see nothing to say in criticism!
Nice job so far looks like a pretty darn good kit!
I bet the newer one would be a little easier to build.
Well I have one but have not looked at difference between old one and new one!
Question Tuna what are those little brass circle things?
oops another question on the pe parts what are those little squares of sponge looking things!

Nice work on the pe BTW!!

Hi Jeff,

The Circles are actually Aber bolts I stole from my Jagdpanther spare etch. I'm not sure what you mean about square sponge thingys...

thanks for the nice comments

Hooooly smokes Tuna..........

Nice job on that interior! You attention to detail is very impressive..... are you using any reference books? If so - could you let me know what you are using.... I might have a hankering to get busy on a Hummel in the near future.... I'd like to try and do a "Tuna" detail special on it as well... thanks :-)

Oh - one thing you might want to consider.....before you attach the fighting compartment sides....

Cut a piece of sheet plastic to fit inside the engine intake louvres.. behind the slots. Space it about 3mm back from the holes in the intake grates, then paint it black... otherwise you will be able to see the inside of the hull through the engine intake louvres if you look at the right angle. I didn't do this on my Nashorn, and really wish I would have...

The first picture you show that has the gun in place shows the gap between the engine compartment and the hull sides really well - you can see how you could look throught the louvres and see the inside of the hull ..... i hope that makes sense :-) If not... PM me and I'll take a few pics of my see-through Nashorn to hopefully illustrate my point... hehe

You have a winner build in progress - take care, and be sure to post some more pictures after you solve the fighting compartment side "fit" issues..... :-) fun, fun, fun, eh?

Later-
Nelson

Thanks Jeff, that sounds like some good advise.. I didn't think of the fact that you'd be able to see 'through' the model...

Reference... JRock lent me the the Nut's n Bolts book.. it's awsome.. I think it's oop though, but I would highly reccommend it to anyone who could get there hands on it...

Thanks Tuna I think they are cork that you mounted the parts to paint on!

Jeff--- what brand and named paints are you spraying on the vehicle?
thanks
