    Ferdinand and stalingrad gun spg thing.

    Exhausts were above the tracks roughly just in front of the armoured casement, blowing straight down on the tracks from the sponsons, therefore they can not be seen from the side.

    Should I be worried about doing a resin kit??

    Hi Everyone I have always been wary of doing a full blown resin kit for the obvious toxic dust issues and also when ever I have done resin after market parts I find them to be brittle and break easily. I also hear stories of bad moulds and bubbles. Are my fears correct or unfounded as I have...

    1/72 HMS Victory Cross Section

Fortunately there are only two more too do. Life would have been easier if I had chosen to have the hatches closed :smiling3...

    Okay I'm calling this one done. I had a lot of fun building this. A long way to go with the whole build but I think it will certainly blend in well once everything has been done.
