So I really have to do one like this I think

and this one 

Now this imaegs shows the awnings realy w

Resicast were great, their site says they can’t ship to Australia but it’s sone type of glitch and we figured a work around. Going to need a bigger base. 

Watch this space …..

OK, Resicast just dropped this, a US Artillery supply truck

Aaaand CZ Subs is going to do an upgrade set!!!!!! It looks ins to be a massive kit too. 

Last bit, the mobile base for the gun, I don’t think I would use this regardless 

And a bit more 

Because I’m in build mode, and

I’m probably not going to use it but I’m throwing together the 8” howitzer as well. Lots of gaps and running repairs needed so far. 

I spent sone time last night looking at photos online, and sone have the pole in the awnings (usually stateside photos) and in Europe they are not so visible, it does give an idea mind 

Finally, I’ve added the curtains that appear  on every one I’ve seen. Paint next. 

And later; the tracks, I just need to sand down these little injection ports 

Next I’ve put off till last as I’m dreading it. At least they are only clipped togeather with no glue 

So today I cut off all the remaining pieces off the Sprue and cleaned them up. 
 

every online build says the roof section has sink marks all down the centre. For once had a win and I had none whatsoever but I noticed Rock Lawler on his Propaganda site had put a strip down the middle to cover it. Made perfect sense so I did it as well and riveted mine in 

It’s got amputation Written all over it. 

I’ve got some very thin stuff used for 1/350 railings 

Wire? 

Good point but it will be inside a cowling so not really worth th effort.

So we are all probably old enough to remember the horrible soft plastic from Airfix, and according it’s bloody hard to work with. I’ve cut and sanded for hours so I could improve on the cylinder heads to look a little better. I’ll do the wiring once I’ve painted it. 

The engine, lots of pieces and lots of clean up needed. Full day to clean up and add to the engine block, lots of blobs cut out to help with alignment and tomorrow I can add sone details. The beauty of this engine is that it’s simple but lot and lots of reference photos 

Coming togeather but you can see from the size or the gaps on this fuel tank, this is the fight I’m having with the poor molds 

You can see the process of development 100 years after, just not then. Like why do they need a front steering wheel? Obviously not but back then? I grew up in a farm in the 1970’s with big tractors but the difference to farmers by was very very different 

Thanks, there are a heap of reference photos of her. I got some aftermarket rivets as the kit ones are so damn rough. Here’s a good one of the underside
