At least no 'awkward' eyes to paint.
Video of the event, which i can still clearly remember watching live on the TV, and the next day the papers going into overdrive about this special forces group.

And probably the 'SAS' troopers you met, like many I've met have never been in the SAS except in their dreams or the bottom of the lager glass. :tears-of-joy:During the 80's, I never met a SAS trooper that 'DIDN'T' go through the window of the embassy!!! :smiling5: :smiling5: :smiling5: :smiling5:
One of those iconic moments the world thought would never happen!!
Looking forward to seeing this done!!
Difficult to tell from the photo but it look like Takom have repeated the mistake with the roof. It looks like thay have produced it with the normal Hetzer roof, when the actual flammhetzer had a large hatch in the middle of the roof.On the Takom Facebook page - upcoming releases
A trio of Pz 38 (t) variants:

and a frigate 'progect'
View attachment 498461
although it doesn't actually say - Russian Admiral Gorshkov Frigate
On the ICM website - ' on sale soon '
View attachment 498465
I wonder if we'll see the P-2/P-3 variants?

Good spotting Peter.Difficult to tell from the photo but it look like Takom have repeated the mistake with the roof. It looks like thay have produced it with the normal Hetzer roof, when the actual flammhetzer had a large hatch in the middle of the roof.

I think they have tried to reproduce that hatch, but got the hinges wrong. You can see in the model render that they have the MG mount in the centre of the roof instead of on the left like on the Jagdpanzer 38 (compare to the command version), and there are hinges and faintly visible hatch outlines to the left of the MG. However, Takom’s hatch seems to have a front half that hinges to the left side instead of forward like your photo shows.Difficult to tell from the photo but it look like Takom have repeated the mistake with the roof.

Looking at it ah\gain, I think you might be right that they have made an attempt at the correct roof. Hopefully some better photos will appear on the WWW soon. It looks a nice little model.I think they have tried to reproduce that hatch, but got the hinges wrong.
