Cheers Steive mate looking forward to going. Won't have anything running by then though but I'm going to enjoy it anyway. I will have at least one ready for the Luton meet though. All the best for now mate

Bit more done on the Stug ( at last ). Made a gun support and added the fixings for the side armour, Many thanks for the pictures littletankman :thumbup: without them I would have been stuffed. Please note my first foray into scratchbuilding using brass. As always comments and observations welcome.

See what you mean Ice ILMAO. Just trying to get some inspiration for a late war cammo scheme for this one off the net and not having a lot of luck.

Hi Alan , Your welcome mate glad it worked out . The barrel lock looks very good . Ive done mine in the Normandy type cammo . Im about ready to jump into the Klear and varnish stage . Im getting alot of advice but worried about the gloss efect . Im starting this stage in a couple of weeks as my children are of school . Ive done some changes since this pict by adding the vission slots by painting them , re painting the wheels a grey shade as mentioned on the forum as it looks better than black and when you see the road wheels they seem grey apose to black (thanks for the person who posted that , sorry I cant remember were I read it ) I can recomend the Impact tracks for your build with the cleats as they set it of nicely (thanks Steve :thumbup: ) I just need to re colour them.

Hi Alan, Sorry just remembered , once I fitted the hinges from Steve I filed and sanded them down , very carefully and re marked the bolt holes . As they looked a bit chunky . I also added the locking mechanism and bolt heads to the inside of the hatch oh and the MP40 mag pouch thats in the loaders hatch compartment and the MP40 mounting . I have a MP40 but its 1:18 Indiana Jones one but it looks ok in the loaders hand

Keep the picts coming mate.
