Got this today and had to share
ABER 35 A79 - German Tank Radio Set Fu2 &Fu5
Set contains 1 fret and 3 double side A4 instruction sheets. The drawings are in a new format similar to Eduard but much better in detail. You can construct variants for:
Panzer ll, lll, lV
Panzerbefehlswagen
Tiger l, ll
StuG lll
Panther
Sturmtiger
All ancilliary equipment such as morse key, headphones, transformers etc is included, as is a decal sheet for the radio fascias. The drawings also include all the wiring diagrams for various configurations.
Aber have really raised the bar with this set - the new drawing format is fanatastic
I ave pdf'd the instructions and fret in a hires file here http://www.bsbit.co.uk/downloads/fug.pdf - its an 8mb file but you can zoom up to 500-600% . In the meantime heres a sample

Looks like a very demanding kit to me. I will put this on my wish list for the time being........until one day my PE skill is up to it.
Thanks for sharing.

I've been thinking for a while about building a Pzr IV with a complete interior, as highly detailed as my skills allow and cut away parts of the super structure to be able to view the interior.. This will be part of it..
Excellent stuff once again.

I built the one that came with the Sturmtiger detail kit - heres some tips that will help (I'm redoing mine - sprayed them the wrong color - doh!)
1.Spray all field grey items (fascias etc) - whilst still on the fret
2. Do NOT remove the radio fascias from the fret, add everything whilst still attached.
3. After adding the decals you will need to add some small STB's, wire jumpers, handles etc and small holes to the fascia. Do this with a .2mm micro drill, take 20mm of some thin copper wire from loudspeaker cable, dip in CA, insert in hole, cut off nearly flush with surface. Handles are slightly thick wire. Voila
4. The frame that holds the radio forms a VERY tight fit for the radios - do not get any CA on the inside of the frame where the radios have to slide in
5. Most important - reread No2
