Updated with Pintel Detail
Here she is. Almost ready for the paint shop. I need to build the brass catcher and add the tow pin (pintel?).
I have a Warriors figure set for this. The gunner has the seat stuck to his ass, incase you are wondering wear it is.

I think i will definitely skip the etch on my next project. It really beat the hell out of me. (1st timer).

And, the gun is just placed in the hull for the photo. Will add the extra armor after paint.

Hope you enjoy.
Marc.




I included this for those who would like to point it out.

Coming right along Petro. You did just fine with the PE. Use of the JR barrel looks cool, too !
Are you planning on using the kit tracks ?

Keep up the good work !

Cheers !

Atm, i am planning on using the kit tracks. I know a trick about adding sag. I will see if i can pull it off.
Thanks for the reminder.

look good, the barrle looks great
i just got 3 JR barrel for my 3 german tanks,
i wont mess with the kit barrle any more,
and thats cool u drilled out the back there was it a pain to do that,
good luck and keep us updated with more pics

Tazz, drilling that out was a bit of a pain, since i had most of the lower substructure and etch built. I think i did knock a fender off while doing it.
I don't know how centered it is. But considering i wasn't going to do it, i am sure i can pass it off.

Marc--- where did you get the cutting pad shown in the photos?
thanks
DJ
PS-- it is pintel

DJ, that cutting pad is from Micro mark. It is the 18" x 12"

It is funny, i had seen people using them, and i said , "ahh, i don't need that". Then i ordered it anyways. It is essential for cutting etch.

Micro Mark cutting pad.

PS, I thought is was called a pintel. #:-)

I defer to the mobelwagon builder, but I found a simialr one at WalMar in the craft section, and an assortment of paintbrishes...

Marc--thanks. I order it today.
