What a cool idea,thanks very much AJ, yeah Kelly we`ll get together on this and see if we can`t fix up a few each,I`m always needing them. Thanks again AJ,great tip!

That's a good idea! Russ, let me know if you want to do this, I have Decal film at home if you need some.

QUOTE: I hate when I have to resort to painting on the swastika on the recognition flag,would much rather locate aircraft swastika decals for that job,not the greatest painter of straight edges,lol.

Rather than paint or trying to find the right size swastika, get a digital image of the flag. Insert it in a word document as you would any clipart, resize to what you need. Print it at the highest resolution your printer will do. Seal the flag with Microscale decal film. Cut it out using a straightedge and a #11 blade. Put a layer of thinned white glue on the back and let the paper absorb it a bit then drape it where you want. If you need both sides to show, get the proper image and insert or copy it right next to the first image. Fold it along the contacting edges before adding the white glue. This will allow you to get realistic looking furls on a flag pole as well.

Thanks very much,yeah,lol,that radio operator does seem to get around!
I have used a few round bases from time to time,when you do a display for folks it looks
nice to have not only different vehicles but different bases too,breaks up the monotony.
If you notice all of my bases are made from store bought shelving,tables,coffee tables,
anything I can get my hands on that is finished. So when I do my ground cover which is just straight sands,graval,grasses etc.,dry spooned onto the base the whiteglue/water mix does not seap into the pressboard and I end up with a warped mess.The laminated finish prevents this from happening.

I figured that would be true about the schurzen as I haven`t seen any reference to back that idea up but I didn`t want to waste em,figured they was just fresh over,lol!

Very nice job, good subject..

Congrats..

Nice work

The radio operator does get around...He's the Ninja Radio Man. Anyways, great built, as always the weathering is on the money.

Thanks for the show.

Nice dio. But I think you were right in referring to the schurzen on the tank. Nice job on the netting and the recognition flag.

GREAT JOB RUSS. but you know how i feel about it. i've always like the draped flag's. i think it brings out the kit.

they may have used schurzen in Tunisia, but even then I am doubtful. I have never seen a picture of a DAK panzer with it on. Unlikely due to the lack of effective infantry A/T weapons. Still a nice little dio.

Nice little dio.

Good job man. Great way to make use of such little space. The identification flag really breaks the colour scheme. What do you put under the ground work so it doesn't soak through?

Very nice, as always...even your five-year-old stuff is awesome :)

Excellent!
I like the round base.

Very nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Regards, Rick

Great little vig, Russ, hmmm, that guy on the radio seems to be the same guy that's in your broken down Kubel Kit! LOL nice scene!

Nice job. Thanks for sharing with us.
