Have you considered a paint scheme? Mid production has many options as so many were sent to every front.Also just recieved some new decals in 1/18 scale from monkey depot,every panzer group.Also all the unit markers for vehicle type and unit.Sax http://www.monkeydepot.com/1_18_Scale_Military_s/86.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
