Bill, is there such a thing as a good PE person? We all have our days, some just more than others. So far this month I have broken the tool clamp handles of 3 of Eduards Zoom German set. (These are all in one and I thought I'd give them a go as Aber's 3 piece ones can drive us nuts (as you well know), but the handle on the Zoom ones is very fragile and it doesn't take much to send it West), lost 2 clamps off my Centaur during dry brushing (these were scratchbuilt so I had to go back and make them up again-grrr) and have put a DML (Kirin) set of nickel etch back in the Grille's box for another day (that stuff does not like to be bent). Ah, the 60/70's...no etch, no expectations.
We are having a bit of an early Summer here at the moment. Last week we had days 7 degrees Centigrade higher than average with high humidity. We are expecting a nice 26 degree C day today, which is about average. Good day for spray painting models, but the indy links on the Stug 3 for the GB are not finished yet.
Yep, I'm drilling out DML guidehorns and link loops for the Tamiya Ausf G kit, cause the Tamiya tracks were shot (pulled off the sprue by the guy I bought the kit from, and he pulled chunks off the sides). Anyway, the Tamiya rubber tracks had solid guidehorns, wrong type for an Early. Before you say it, yes I did escape from the rubber room, that those nice men with the white jacket took me to, after I drilled out the DML Panther Ausf D indy links for that GB build. Wow, was that really a year ago!!!
Looking forward to the pics. Have fun.
PS. The Panzer IV thread is in the Group build section. Just click on the Sticky on page one of the armour forum, then click on the Panzer IV topic. That will take you to page one, then just click on last, and work your way back as far as you want to go. Check out the other GB's while you are there, The Sherman GB is still there!!!!
