I saw some mind-blowingly detailed model interiors (various scales) at the Swiss Military Museum at Full, Ronnie. It's really refreshing to see such a model coming together here :thumbup:
There's a trip around the Museum here in pics. You'll see some of the models and diorama display cases on pages 13 and 18. It's a pity there are no closeups. :)

Thanks Soeren Yes its a nice kit, has a few issues like the electics. The 1/35 kits show more moulded in cable runs , need a good book with lots of interior photos. Am trying to find pics of the hydraulic hoses round the transmission would be a good upgrade. No shell exhaust gas tube in kit. Lots of mg ammo boxes but no gurtsack for the AA mg.

While I admire your dedication, part of me recommends you are restrained and sedated !!!!
I'd say on the scale of patience, you & ole Mother Theresa would be closely related !!

From a selfish point, if you dont want to, or cant be assed using those ice cleats, I would love them for an upcoming project ;) :shifty:
