[[ICE]monkey]

hi all, she arrived last week , great big box , weighs in at 74 kg

makes the tamiya tiger II seem tiny
started by cutting out all the turret and top hull hatches



did this with a jigsaw ,then finished it of with a file
next i started to clean up some of the resin parts and trial fitted the main gun assembly

spent last night removing the moulded bolt heads of the hull and replaced them with steel ones , used a pin vice to drill them out and cynoed them in

to scurzen or not to scurzen , that is the question , at the moment i will say yes as it comes with nice photo etched brass sheets, but it does cover alot of the detail up
regards, cliff
