Going to do 3 versions of camo then pick. Mr hobby metal primer is ok for PE, the pot metal turret is chipping even with Vallejo primer on top. When i decide how to paint its all off and start again , auto etch primer ,Tamiya primer then colour.

Found a build with the IR system. Version 2 almost done, cable, levers , lower bracket and lens covers lens to sort. Looked on Shapeways BIG PRICE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SCALES 1/18 £10.28 AND 1/16 £35.31. Was going to buy then found 1/18 is a third of the price, so made one.

Hi Soeren A lot of trawling the web for info on the IR. Found this build with IR but on the Panther 11 with an aftermarket IR kit. He posted up some good pics. https://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=18740
