Here's my contribution.
A simple and straight forward O.O.B. kit complete with the excellent, easy to work one piece rubber tracks. So no hair pulling or time consuming fiddly metal tracks to fight. Perfik!
I'm going to have me some sport and add all sorts of stuff to the model whether it was actually on the real thing or not, so rivet counters kindly pass quietly by..... :upside: I thank you.
After seeing this 'er waffle stuff on WW2 photos of Stugs, in a lot of cases, it really was roughly applied and in various patterns and sizes of waffle, so I just did my own thing out of a foil yeast packet and scribed/ gouged the pattern (Whatever you care to call it) with a cocktail pick. Then roughly cut around bits and bobs and finally glued on to the model.
The hull is loose fitted. The foil looks all a bit cob and naked nude, but will tone down once I get the brush out and paint the disc camouflage, muck it all up and stick a forest on the thing!
I've added a couple of lid thingies out of plasticard, as the kit ones are moulded flush into the upper hull and would have vanished under the waffle. Still to add the zimmerit to these.
Cheers.
