I think it’s really cool how the side panels are workable in their tracks!
Love the two-man saw and the super detailing! 🔍

I thought this sun bleached poncho may be of interest.



The windscreen is just sitting there and still needs the hinges,etc. The electric wire for the wipers will also be trimmed.

Nice! I like seeing and trying to build that stuff too - if nothing else (that is, it's not easily seen) it's fun to try!

Looking forward to your next post!
Cheers

Thanks Mikey and Nicky ! Here is the next instalment albiet small.

Ingrid approves of the vehicle so far though.

I scratchbuilt the first aid box and mount along with the back supports for the canvas top when it is in the stowed position but the cover has been removed by the crew here.



Added some minor details with lead foil and PE. Only the tiniest bits remain but I will finish painting this thing first so my ham fingers won't break the delicate parts off.
Ingrid waits for a ride.




Thanks for looking guys,

Very nice additions, Jerry. You're getting a superb work.

Cheers!

It already looks like it’s idling Jerry, fantastic job. Ingrid’s in demand but she’s demanding a new outfit before agreeing to appear in Prague in a couple of months time. As for what you're up to - could it be a wedding? I recall a photo of a Tiger 1 being used as the venue for a wartime ceremony...

Superb work as usual Jerry.
The Ingrid I painted doesn't come close to the job you've done.

Thanks Tom. Ingrid went under my dremel and scalpel blade quite a bit before paint occurred !
