I like the theme of this campaign. My skills are basic already and that makes this project fit like a glove.

I have an old Tamiya Panzer II Ausf F that has been in my pile for years. The date molded into the hull is 1971 and it was made back when Tamiya wasn't sure if it was a toy company or a model company. This kit was originally motorized and has some compromises to accommodate the monkey motion parts that it was designed to have.

Despite its age, the kit parts look pretty good and I expect it to make a decent little model. I have ordered a set of Fruil metal tracks to improve the appearance and so have included a pair of nippers in the tool selection to cut the metal wire.

Here are a couple of pics taken last night before any construction has taken place.





The way I'm doing the pictures results in thumbnails linking to larger pictures. I see others manage to get the complete pictures into their posts. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Glad to be of help Paul! Re decal placement, it should be part of the instruction sheet. Here's a link:

Scroll down midway and there's a PDF file you may download.

I have a couple of campaigns to get across the line so I may be starting on my build a bit later.

Cheers,
