Since he did not use the Armorama photo gallery I can only guess that he removed the pics. I saw them befor and they were fantastic ins pite of his hatred towards this kit.

Hi last time I built a 251 I cheated and put all my upper hull together first and all in one sitting and I didnt have any fit problems that way it made getting the interior into my Ausf C a little harder but no gaps. The most disappointing thing one the 251/7 that Ive seen and just oppened it up a day or two ago was that the pioneer gear is Vinyl and that means no bridge blowing for me .

That is NOT vinyl! It is a flexable styrene, and is as paintable as regular styrene!

Flexible styrene?? Is this something that DML is trying out? It seemed to give the figure more depth.
If it is as paintable as the regular stuff I'm all for it!
