Looks good to me, Have you decided on a unit? I know of a member who will be selling custom decal sets, you pick the unit and he will provide the set at a reasonable cost.

And please post more pictures, cheers

Hi there guys well I'm going for an Africa corps Mybe turret number 111. I'm going to put a lot of pics on later tonite! Last nite I spent ages taking pics off my iPhone and puting them on the pc. BUT!!! After puting on nearly 40 pics!!! I realised! That they were the wrong size! So o could not upload them!!!!!! Lol . So the one pic that's on is one I then tried with a small size! But by then it was time for bed!! . I've done a mod to the back of my tigers hull to allow me to lift off the hull with the air cleaners still attached!. With the Asiatam hull the pipes get in the way will have pics of that as well! Oh yes the air cleaners do look good! Trev! :thumbup:

Here you can see the cut outs on the back panel to enable you to lift off the hull with the air boxes still attached.

Great job, nice subtle weathering. Brings back memories of my Tiger build. Nice to see a Dak coloured cat.
Do you realize how much I hate this uniform and all it stands for. ( Cross of Iron )
