      Cheers Paul, I'd use them all the time if the versions were made for most of the stuff I have, unfortunately not available for the early Russian types.:disappointed:.

        You are so correct Paul. A little work is needed to clean them up, but there is nothing like the feel of heavy metal on a tank...…….

        Dude 2, what are you talking about??? They make them for early Ruskie stuff...….I like the pic in the garden with the Friuls. I should send a copy to Giuseppe at the company in Hungary!!!...We could call it "Friuling in the Garden"…………...

                      Another sunny day here, so sat in the sun, optivisor on and drilled out one set of tracks, the majority being straight fwd, a few needing some cleaning.

                      All well.
                      There are no screens in the kit for those air intakes, but in my spares box I've found some Trumpeter . KV1 /KV2 .

                      What about cutting those lower ones down ? I know I will loose some of the edging.

                        You could cut them down on all four sides, by the look of it, and then use plastic strip to make a new edge to it.

                          and i find if you just sit and do them ,you get them done if you sit and complain about them and look they never get done lol

                            Yes Jakko that would complete the outer frame well . Think I have some thin plastic sheet or even better some strip.:thumb2:

                            That's the only way Monica, just sit and get on with them. Think they are always worth the effort and the price .
