Used the winter and early spring to either rebuild, improve or build anew and they are all good to go. The KT custom aluminum work was completed by Daryl Turner.
Enjoy, John

Re: Summer Offensive Ready
I hear you about the Pz4 and thank you all.
Almost 3 years later the little Pz4 got some performance up grades in the way of Axel's - Schumo parts this past winter. Mainly carbon fiber long leaf springs were added to the road wheel assemblies. Plus gun elevation and depression were improved. Paint finish wise, I picked up on the 1/35 armor guys efforts and decided the road wheels should be a slightly different color and shade from the hull, so there are lessons learned in that build.
The Jagdpanther is my favorite runner and the Leopard 1 A4 was just sold off (I enjoy building the kits way more than the collecting concept). I will build another Leo over the summer. This one with recoil and a flash in a custom scratch built scale barrel. The Sherman, Jiving Joan II, is a fine runner and the Tiger II will be finish painted and weathered some time during the summer thru fall months.
By the way, I really enjoyed the The Royal Wedding Lancaster, Spitfire, Hurricane fly over Buckingham Palace to celebrate the marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. The DB5 and the big yellow SAR helicopter appearances were also great touches. But the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment is still the best and I could watch those guys ride all day long.
