Hi Herman,

The Abrams will get back on track by the end of the month. I was just so board with the weld beads and still have many more to do. Most of those are around curved or odd shaped parts that they will have to be done with epoxy and then shaped.

I've been trying to get the Jadgpanzer IV up to a certain point. As soon as I receive the proper drive sprockets and the return roller from Tom and get all installed it will be time for the Abrams return.

The last few weeks have been travel events including my 50th High School Class Reunion and a Family get together.

I just needed to "build" something and the Jadgpanzer was just the thing.

I'll be posting some pics of the Jadgpanzer hopefully next weekend.

TAFN,
BArry

A real update!

I have started by fixing and installing turret details and sub assemblies. Now that the turret has welds and a coat of primer it is easier to see what needs improving or fixing. I also used some Vallejo Acrylic Putty to add the welds around curved and irregular details. Next step is to clean up the brass work with the Air Eraser then a coat of primer.

Here are some picks you can see the details are easily seen. TTFN Barry

I am a humiliated, un-skill-iated man! What remarkable detail work. Maybe you could revive the "Master Class" threads.
