Hi Rik , thanks mate . Ive started the side schurzen plates and mountings . Once there on Im doing the rear plate and then its the tub and suspension

Andy

I have started the side schurzen plates . The plates are styrene and the mounting brackets are brass which inturn are bolted to the tank like the originals . They do stick out a few mm more than they should , but thats to allow the 1:25 tracks to fit . But I dont think it will look to bad . I tryed to take a close up of a mounting bracket but couldnt get a decent picture sorry . Next step is the track guards and the end pannel with the various detail . Then its the bottom half (Rik he he ) My dads got some material to make the working leaf springs . But I can see it being trial and error.

Really looking good there Andy. Keep plugging away and you will get it done.

Hi Herman thanks mate will do

Heres a close up of the brass schurzen mount . Ive seen these fitted with the lip one hand and on another tank the other way ? The bolt heads Im going to change . You can also just see the steel efect on the side .

Ive made the rear track guards and some of the detail on them like the end of the ariel holder and the later style tool box.

Heres the rear end detail . Theres more to do yet but Ive fitted the tow rope mounts just need to work a leather type strap and Ive also added the spare track links in there holders . Ive had to compromise a bit as the tracks are just a few mm to wide but again once sprayed up I think it will be reasonable.

Heres my work load . You can see the LVT A-1 , Pantiger conversion (getting there Blake) and the Hetzer . You can also see how small the Hetzer is .

wow, didn't realize just how small the Hetzer would be!

Hi mate the pictures a little miss leading . I will post a picture of it next to another tank to show you mate .
