Great work. It's a good job you really, really like photo etch.

This is looking the nuts.

Thanks guys, but I’ve just ran into a little problem.
Building the fuel/water cans parts De 5,3 and 6, View attachment 514296
there’s no sprue for them. It’s not even on the sprue parts list.

That’s odd. But you don’t absolutely need them — petrol cans like these might have gone missing at any point. Or if you do want to add them, you can take them from a number of different accessory sets.

Yes that’s true Jakko.

Well that’s most of the lower hull parts fitted, some very small parts to fit, but they will be put on near the end of the build. A few minor gaps to fill then I’ll paint it.

Not MIG, it’s far too light and orange. AK 3d Gen seems to be fairly close, though.

Anything that looks like milky coffee (the official description) or rich ginger brown with a hint of green (Mike Starmer) would do fine…….i mixed mine from Tamiya roughly following Starmers recipe,…..

Superb work, it looks outstanding.

I'd love to have a go at this kit, but I have to say the amount of PE worries me. That being said I guess you need to start somewhere.

Thanks Jakko and Tim.
