At the moment I still deal with details and still long not everybody are ready. Ordinarily I go forward Gradually and make a side after the others, here, nevertheless, this runs anyhow all over, as well as I just feel like.

Duplicate MG in the bug

For the case I stuck together 2x2mm Poly records and worked on this with a drill (Proxxon) The MG's exist of 2 and 3 mm of brass pipes



Driver's hatches and small hatches



Camouflage lamp, lamp and signal horn. I provided the protective hanger from 0.5 mm of brass metal (soldered)



The curvature in the Kasematte on top is also new



Selfmade tank lids (knows lacquered to see like the surface will look) and stiffening metal (bronze metal)



the rear lamp is a modified Tamiya Sherman component. I have twisted the article about 90 degrees.



Airing grid



Furthermore I have many screws and rivets verbasteln again are able



However, the rear is not formed yet ready, there are still no still cultivation parts

Update

Also today I have provided konsiquent in my M3 Grant weitergebaut, on the left and on the right the side parts with remaining details and have completed the rear. Then the next days still the roof arrives, as well as to good last the probably most difficult part, the tower

The traffic jam boxes and the lateral hatches have come in addition



Behind these hatches the service terminal will probably find his place



in addition I have built the hatches of course flexibly. I have soldered the hinge from 0.5 mm of brass metal. As hatches fastener I stuck in a corner a neodymium magnet, in the hatch itself I melted a wearing part.



I modified the rear from the M4 to the M3



Traffic jam box en detail



Partly are the tools from my leftovers box, partly own construction

No Commands ?! Did i something wrong ?

it went on, in the meantime, is also ready the deck. The one or other component was to be made here a little costlier, but anyhow gehts, nevertheless, always.



One follows the small rivets on the left and on the right beside the strengthening bearer



The hatches is also to be opened of course, if no photo has made off, unfortunately.



Here sometimes more exactly in the comparison, small and big rivets. I have punched out small 0.5 mm once again



Now Grant lacks, actually, only the tower and the electronics
