A quickie update,

 Mounted a few of the tools, I find it best to do the trimming while the part is still attached to the sprue, after the molded on clamps are filed/sanded away the part can be removed. I scratched a prybar from brass rod.

 Thanks for looking,

First off, I'm happy that this GB have so many interested.. I'm optimistic for more members! And it's probably a bit early to ask for interest in a 2010 GB

Boba Fett: "you da Huxy"  Nah, didn't sound too good

Mobious: Glad you enjoyed the pictures of Norway and the fellow neighbours! You may now probably understand why Panzers weren't so 'popular' in Norway?

And your Panzer II, Great job so far!! I love the front lights especially! Can you post a picture of the original ones so we can see difference?

And the styrene replacement for the shovel looks a little bit too big/thick in my opinion.. But a great, awsome work so far! Let's see it with colours!

And the stash, it is alive.. Nothing more to say! Tought you knew that already!!

----------------------------------------------

And a update from me...

See the blad of the propellor is all wrong? I contacted the manufacturer (Airfix) for a replacement.. No replies nor nothing in the mail

A bit further progress have been made.. actually, alot progress.. Painted the cockpit, attached the cockpit to the hull side, glued the hull sides togheter, added engine cowl and propellor, elevators and wings.. Pictures to come!!

So that was that!

 Hey huxy, The stash is alive, I clean up the work area, put a kit or two away and the next day there are 4 or 5 setting on the bench calling out to me! Build Me! Build Me!....

 Finished up with the tools and should be moving onto the turret. Did manage a pic of the lights. The shovel holder should be OK, It's the thinnest material I've got in stock. I think it's like >.010" ( > .25mm). I'll keep an eyeball on it after primer, thanks for the heads up!  The CA hazed the clear pretty badly. I need to attach the bezels first with the CA, then the lens with white glue. Should be an easy fix though.

 Looks like a save on the prop huxy. Nice job. Those sinkmarks must have been a bear considering where they are located. I'm used to seeing things like that on the inside, not on the outside?

 Thanks for checking in Jason

 Huxy, since this GB runs until something like Oct. of 09, count me in for an  1/48 FW190 A8. The stash is calling... REAL LOUDLY!

 Hey huxy, I've got a 120mm Fallshirmjaeger on his way, a DUKW in the wings(literally), but no amrored car on tap. I do have a Brummbar in the mix. It is armored. I don't think I'd be the choice for a designer, I wouldn't want everyone mad at me! I did get the turret all buttoned up and repaired the lights. I thinned the bezels down to about half of what I had posted earlier, ordered some lenses for them. I'll install them after paint along with the antennae trough. Should be primed tomorrow and have a few pics up too.

Mobious: Dukw on the wings?  ?? What?   Sounds so wrong...

And 120mm?  What scale would that be? Who made it? Recommend it?

Thanks for that link! Very interesting, for sure!

If you find more, don't hesitate to post!

This is a nice idea, but I'm in a little over my head right now with other stuff.

But... I have a set of Norwegian markings decals for the 1/72 Lockheed Lodestar, which probably would be useful for similar types, and I'd be happy to give them to anyone who sends me a PM. Otherwise they'll just go to waste.

sorry to hear that the 109 won't be started soon, I was looking forward to seeing that one. I'll be watching for it.

 Hey Huxy, I put some P down on the PZ to the 2.
