Thanks for the heads up on the tank bodies Mart

Cheers Ian

Glad I can help Ian!

A word of warning if you go down my path with the SU-122 from the Imperial Kit - Mr Dremel has a lot of work to do, as the gun is more centrally mounted than the SU-85! I expect to have to grind away most of the middle section of the front of the resin turret and scratch build the mount etc. There are a few other minor details on top, but it still looks like a good start point from the plans I have (famous last words!). That one's probably going to be a job for next year tho  :-\

Cheer's

Looks like there are a lot of busy tankers out there!

I have a Bulldog that I have pulled apart. Fitted RX14 internals, it already had metal tracks, gearboxes and sprockets.

Removed and filled one mg support, removed that weird (gun sight?) thing that looked like a daffodil. Ordered a Darkith kit, will fit a muzzle flash. Currently being painted in desert camo, after seeing a pic of one on another thread.    Tracks already painted black and rust.
Taking pics every step of the way and will post them all up when complete.

I have to keep telling myself -

Must not buy Jagdpanther untill I've finished all my other projects.

Well I decided to try something I have never done before so I ordered two 1/35 static models to put togeather.This is going to be on the small side of tanks for me,but I wanted to give this a go.I ordered them from Tower hobby today and they said the tanks will come out of the Reno Nevada warehouse so being 465 miles away I'll have them thursday.I'll post these in the static model section.

Well, I must admit that I wimped out of doing my Tunisian Tiger today and instead went for the low hanging fruit - a coat of schwartzgrau over my sPzAbt 502 Panzer IIIL.
Wheels are already done, just have to blow over the finished product with Tamiya Flat White for that Winter of '42 look, and then I'm on to the decals (ordered from MilitaryMight already)
