Started this one from my kit collection a few days ago... an oldie but not too bad.... found a set of fruil tracks and an eduard detail set I'd forgotten I had, so I just had to put the whole lot together! It's been quite a while since a made an armour kit (for fun at any rate) so I'm planning on enjoying it!
The kit does have plastic zimmerit, but it's thick and the pattern is wrong, so I decided to DIY it instead. I did the zimmerit with No More Nails using a cut down hacksaw blade and sculpting tool. I really like this method as it beats the solvent based putties hands down (and it comes off relatively easy so damage is easily done!). It's a bit messy when it's finished as the putty is quite wet but it's a very easy cleanup and after a few minutes with a scalpel and some sandpaper it finshes up lovely!
I've removed the raised turret ring to get the turret to sit more correctly and reworked the driver's and radio operator's hatches to allow it to turn without fouling the hatches.
One strange anomaly of this kit (of many! 
) is the location of the co-axial MG port on the mantlet. The zimmeritted mantlet has the port in the right place (slightly above the centre line of the main gun barrel) but the plain part has it below the centreline... Some filler, a drill bit and a reamer sorted that out nicely!
Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. After that, who cares? They're a mile away and you've got their shoes!
