Me too EG.  But,on the other hand,has anyone else seen LF Nokia`s Santisima Trinidad in the ship area?   His severe weathering is awesome - a refreshing change from the usual builds.   I think his weathering process is actually harder to do than trying to do a build "perfect".    His video`s are more informative than a ton of still photos.

great look'in tank Mark.........at first,  it looked like it was a Rhino {had to squint}.  as for the unit numbers,  it would depend on the color.......white,  red,  white outlined in black,  red outlined in white,  that would designate the unit it belonged to.  none the less.....it looks super!   look'in forward in seeing the King :)

Thanks Popeye - I didn`t read a whole lot about the numbers or coloring - the more I read,the more confused I got:wacko:.    Decided to just leave it as shown on the box cover.     The King will have to wait till I get a bit further along on my ship.  Still got a 1/48 B24 sitting on the shelf too:).

My generation grew up at a time when we had to learn Dutch and French at school. Then we did our military service in Germany. And when we go on holiday we usually have to be able to speak English.
Always handy for reading books 👍

 

My German corner WW2
Only the German designs. So no Czech, French, English, Russian, etc ... models that have been converted by Germany.  That is another part of the collection
