Thank you fellas! As we speak Mr Alwyn is currently tinkering away producing a set of machine gun mounts and cleaning rods that I will purchase. Also a set of the periscopes that mount on the superstructure. I have seen them and they are incredibly well done!

I am so happy to hear that you are following along!

So nice to have support and assistance with this build as it progresses.

Worked with Mr Alwyn Turner to get the machine gun mounts, cleaning rods for the rear panel and a wonderful set of binoculars!

Superb as usual

I am pleased beyond belief with the prompt and wonderful level of help from Mr AlwynImage Image

Mr Michael C came through with all the spare road wheels (arrived incredibly fast from Canada)Image

Anyone interested in a Nashorn kit before I go on spring break? I have a kit in progress which can be ready in 2 weeks if anyone is interested, otherwise it will only be available in July.

I highly recommend itImage For anyone who may not have the patience or skills to design such a kit it is much better in person. I've been building 1:35 military models since I was a child and as far as I'm concerned aside from a ready to go Tamiya 1:16 kit this is the best I've ever built in big scaleImage

The armored front transmission covers and spare track bar arrived today from Mr ForgebearImage Image and I am working on finishing the front end. I was able to dremel away two recesses for the front metal track mounts. I then drilled into the hull and inserted steel rods and epoxied in place. I made brass caps for their rod mount holes. Coming along nicely.

The camoflouge is my biggest decision at this pointImage

My plans are to fit a tk60 with the Panzer iv sounds that Maxmekker designedImage

Hello mr c.rainford73 :wave:

I have been lurking in the back here , Reading and enjoying the build . As for Camo , the first one would be my Choice .
that With some filters and Wash, and gentle oildot fading and streaks should be great. The details looks wicked good .
