whats up everyone, long time reader of the forms, first time posting. Im working on dragons hetzer & adding verlindens engine compartment, this is my first time doing something like this. what would the color of the compartment be ( red primer) & the engine block ( flat black or gun metal) & what about detail panting like the battery , air filters, hoses & radiator. Thanx for your time, reading the forms has helped alot with my modeling and the photos have always inspired me to build more & add to my collection

Anything to do with Jagdpanzer Hetzers and/or any of the Pz Kpfw 38t varients, find "38t" on the member list and PM him.

He may be able to help you.

Cheers !!

When you're typing your message in the "post text" box, there is a row of buttons directly above. Push the first "(url)", then highlight the section in between the (url) and (/url) and replace with your link. I have purposely used parentheses here instead of the correct brackets that will show up when you use the url button to avoid making a dead link.
