Jim, really liking this a lot mate.

[Allen Dewire]

Absolutely excellent work Jigs!!! You've got this 1/2 track build down to a science Sir. I have all the faith in you that the FlaK gun will be finished by the deadline also. Your work ethic is very commendable too Jim!!! Real neat and tidy stuff!!!...

Prost

Jim'dajigman. Looking good.

[Jim R]

Thank you gentlemen for your continued support.

So a reasonable amount of progress without too many difficulties. Just time consuming and fiddly. Top coat of grey on. Decals on. Weathering going ok - chipping and oil work. Lots of odd bits like the seats fitted.









Pigment work next to marry the hull to the running gear. A few more bits to add including the tools, the windscreen and the front wheels. Then onto the gun.

Thanks once again.

That's a real beauty Jim. Bring on the gun. :thumb2:

[Tim Marlow]

Lovely stuff Jim. Really looks the part.

[Valeron]

Lovely stuff Jim.

I'm loving the rust and chipping. I'm learning all the time from you boys.

Looking good Jim. Take care slotting the screen in, those circular locating tabs don't take much abuse

[Graeme C.]

Cracking work Jim, weathering gives it that 'used' look.

Sorry got very behind on this. That is coming on beautifully.

The leather looks almost real!!

Very well done indeed.

Really lovely build Jim, cracking!

Once again I'm indebted to you for not only hanging on in there but also for you kind comments :thumb2:

The driver's side wiper blade was too long - odd that.


It need a couple of mm chopped off to make it fit.


Then it looked ok.


Windscreen fitted (Thanks Los for the warning. I actually cut off one of the locating pins so there was no stress). Tools mounted. Then muddied up. I intend this to go into a dio so I'll adjust the mud later to tie in with the groundwork. You'll notice one front wheel is slightly lifted. I would like to say it was deliberate to allow it to sit in the dio but I'd be lying!! It's just a slight c**k-up :rolling:


















Now onto the gun. No way will it be done in time but I'm sure Dave will forgive :tongue-out3:

Thanks Jim

[Valeron]

Really good work there Jim.

Strange about the wiper length. If it were me I'd probably have just assumed I'd made a massive mistake.
