Thanks for the quick reply. Very interesting site and many useful tools. Are you associated with this company? You may want to list them in the vendors section so other's can have access as well.
Regards Blake

Well, they have an Bonus System. If you Order you get points for each Euro. so If you have X Point, you got "Post send" free, more Points are 5%off, and later on 10% off.
I don´t know that they send to UK, or USA too.
I buy my Tamiya Colours, some Tools and 1:35 Kits there, also they have a lot of 1:15 and 1:16 solders ( Kirin, Verlinden, Alpine, ... )

I'm wondering what the 59.00 Euro's translates to in US $? I would like to have one, but $59.00 a copy is a bit steep for me, plus shipping to USA.

update
For today i wanted to do the Airfilters and some little details.
first i had to cut out of 10mm Brass 10 Pieces 4mm thick and drilled an whole 4mm in there. With my Proxxon, i cut the rest. Than i cut 10 Pipes 4mm and gluewed in there
The Airfiltercases i build out of 2mm PS ( Polysterol )
Die Airintakepipes i buildt out of 6mm Aluminum. The clamp i built out of 0,2mm phosphorus bronze
The trick was to buildt them movable, so that i can remove the top section
The S-Hooks out of 2mm Brass
Holders
more little Details
Overview all new Details

i start to buildt the turret. This thing hurts me a little. i buildt it complete out of 2mm Polysterol ( PS )
for the KWk Blende i use a very thin metall plate and bend this. It´s a lot easier if you gue this between PS Sheeds.
As Mainweapon i used the Barrel from an Panzer III. It´s not done yet. The cradle it´s an 12mm brass piece
back to the front. i cut in 3 long wholes
from inside. Mechanical stuff it´s not done yet
The front part of the turret is just basic. after the apoxie is try and hard i will meke the rest

I'm very impressed with your progress, just a touch of paint and the Crusader should look very nice indeed.
I still want to build a Bergepanzer IV, but don't have the time nor the money to do so. Maybe in two years it'll be possible.
Looking forward to see the future of this build!
Cheers, Jens
