If you mean the aerial tube holder , as there isn't two aerials on the model , then you only need to remove the Port side holder.

I was going to get alot of stuff from Tank Army but yes after more searching alot of UK suppliers.
I'm in the UK & my go to suppliers are www.forgebeartanks.com & http://www.welshdragonmodels.co.uk/ & occasionally Tankzone. If I can't get when I need there i'll use https://heng-long-panzer.de/en/ or https://www.rctank.de/?lang=eng

Bit more done.
Extra aerial tube cut off from left side.

Also making rear road wheels look more.like proper 2 piece wheel.
Used battery drill holding wheel rim and then flat file to grind a groove to make it look better

Bit more work.
Special metals primer hand brushed on all metal parts.
Also have plastic primer in the post, so just trying to track down dunkelgelb beige paint to use as base layer. But then hand brush the camouflage, so need to be careful with compatible paints etc.

German Armour of WW2 used Red Oxide primer,
If you go to your local car accessory store you can find a large rattle can of "Simoniz" or similar Red Oxide for about £5, It is a cheap and very effective primer,
AND it is good for 2 Tanks.

I've been using this paint http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/army-paint ... duct,18691 it gives a very nice coverage. I'd have given you my local supplier but I bought all the paint they had so it's time to remind them to order in a new batch, I still have a can & three Tanks to paint.

Thanks guys.
Hadn't noticed but I got grey primer so.have now.just ordered red oxide aswell.

Links to military paint is.cool so I will get some of that also.
I have milliput on order aswell for welding beads but still need get more.details.

That Tiger looks good with late wheels.

On another note I have corrected partly the turret bins to have a better angle and have glued them back up. Got a bit of model filler still to apply.

The coilovers are a great kit, can't wait to fit to the Alfa and get it back on the road.
