                        Got quite a bit done these past few days , only a few pieces of PE left to apply . So I figured I would post a few new pics as I have no idea what the coming work week will bring ! I thought 2 frets of ABER PE would be a cakewalk , but I should have known better , they are very time consuming , to the point of you wondering if I would ever finish with it ! Many hours this past week have been involved in this projec. But I really am happy the way it is coming out! ( can't wait to paint ) Anyhow I will now shut up for the most part and post some more pix ! Top view ( not the best quality photo , I appologize) right side view ( obviously )
                        As we all do here when we post pics ..... if anyone sees anything that is not right ... let me know ! I want to have a correct model ... so feel free to fire away with constructive criticism at will ! Serious I don't get hurt feelings!Big Smile [:D] I am still waiting on the front and rear fender kit from aber to arrive (its on its way ) so it should be here midweek . OH BTW the top hull is not going to be glued down yet as I am doing an extensive interoir detail ( which also has parts on order ) so that will explain the large gap in the rear of the tank !Big Smile [:D]

                        TY guys ... I think I am going to go with just a 3 or 4 color on this machine ... I am going to be modeling Otto Carrius' tank ..... just before his surrender in april 1945 at that time in the war they had no time for a lot of stuff ( one being the totally unhistorical zimmerit I have applied , but oh well , its on there !) the other was fancy camo jobs ,.... I think the germans had had about enough of this losing battle by then , so the camo will be as such !

                        as a matter of fact AUSF i do have proof of my ABER PE FIT( sometimes small parts are not good for mental health !) !Big Smile [:D] and another one
                        Shermanfreak: thats why they had twin bicycle cranks on each side of the transmission ,,..... so they could pedal thier way out after the transmission broke down ! If that failed the multi squirrel wheels (Hamster style ) provided the necessary escape power , I hear they got 45 peanuts to the mile in that mode !Wink [;)]

                        Great looking build so far.

                        I can identify with tweezer lauch problem, but I've never seen ACTUAL tweezers launched.

                        Looks really nice. The PE set adds a lot of character. I allways thought the best parts of any PE set were the mounting brackets for the tools.
                        I didn't notice an interior in the pics. Are you going to keep the rear hatch open?

                        Erock: Its DML's jagdtiger (henschell) took me a bit to find it , but did on ebay , getting AM parts has been a challenge to say the least, but it is coming along .
                        Zokissima: was waiting for the interior kit to arrive ( Jaguar) but it seems evident that will never happen ,..... so time for a scrathbuild ( have the rough styrene already ) If anyone knows where to find ammo (128mm) for this kit let me know , but i may scratchbuild that as well .

                        The barrel is eduard , finally found one on the net , but it had no rifling , so the rifling from the ABER kit went in , and it came out pretty good , had to trim it to fit the barrel end , but no biggy ! Also put on the fender kit from aber as well ! When I first saw the kit , I had to scoff at it ! It hardly looked like much , but when finished it was just amazing to look at , I highly recommend it for any of the tiger series , fantastic detail , I have been very impressed with the ABER stuff even though it is so fiddly , it just looks great , and really adds to the kits I think ! You almost hate to paint over it !

                        Looking good Spector. If you put a figure half in, half out of the rear access hatch then you won't need anything inside (maybe an awestruck GI checking out Sherm's 'roadblock' would be a good choice)Big Smile [:D]Evil [}:)]
