Submitted for your inspection:

Dragon's 1:35 Jadgpanzer Hetzer Late.
Built OOB with casting numbers for a skoda Hetzer taken from the sprues added to the mantlet. Also added at this stage is a wire from the hull to the Notek light.






As good a view as I could get of the 3 digit cast number (BMM numbers were 2 digit)


The wire attached to an attachment point made from a small bit of streched sprue.

Now that's a beaut. Nice, clean, sharp, no blemishes. Now I know why they call you Lord Glue.

So it was a Skoda, later model, not the one BMM first produced. Cool.

I'm looking forward to seeing it painted and weathered.

And, as always, I learned something new.

Mrs Selrach, you are off course in no way related to Mr Selrach, a.k.a. Lord Glue ? :-) :-) :-) :-)

I must agree though, this is a very nice and clean build. Looking forward to the finished artikle, Ambush scheme?

Cheers
Henk

Lord Glue, aka Lord Horn, aka Lord Se, aka El Diablo, aka Da Man!

Sorry I missed this thread. Good looking in progress build as usual. Looks like some pe came with the kit--and its cleanly applied. Nice touch with the casting numbers and stretched sprue. Can't wait to see this one once it is painted/weathered. Your dry brush skills will be applied well along those angular hull edges--should look pretty cool. Keep us posted.
