Si B’s Tamiya 1/35 Sdkfz 223 Leichter Panzerspähwagen(Fu) “SimonT memorial GB”
Progress with the 223 continues. Fitted the shovel, the PE came out nicely...Attempted to make the Eduard tool clasp for it but couldn’t get on with it so used an Aber clasp instead.... Made up the PE trafficators and fitted the guards.... It got a bit messy as I found the guard a bit...- Si Benson

I was stuffed after that lot I can tell you :hungry: Late night update. Been sneaking to the bench here and there over the course of the day so not a great deal done, but progress nonetheless.

Si B’s Tamiya 1/35 Sdkfz 223 Leichter Panzerspähwagen(Fu) “SimonT memorial GB”
Hiya mate, glad you like how it’s progressing. You know, I did look at the springs and under-gubbins for tweaking, but talked myself out of it! Think I’ll avoid etch and engines on my next build! Late night update. Removed the moulded on deflectors from the roof and replaced with the etch...- Si Benson

Si B’s 1/35 Zvezda T34-76 Mod 1943 Uralmash
Thanks very much gents :smiling4: The T34 has slowly been chugging onward , slowed by the need to remove and re-do the ice cleats and straps. So there is the front fenders to fit and a few bits here and there. But really not far from paint :smiling4: thanks for looking in :thumb2:- Si Benson

Thanks very much for the kind comments chaps :smiling4: The engine was a nice distraction from the main build and has now been weathered using oils and fixed permanently in place.

Si B’s 1/35 Zvezda T34-76 Mod 1943 Uralmash
Another small update. Nearly there with the guts of this now and it looks like it fits ok, thankfully :smiling4:. And how it will look with the lid on. I’ll have to trim off the exhaust ends for the rear plate to fit. The paint is still drying in places but once dried I’ll get it...- Si Benson

Filler?
I like the squadron green/white but as you say it seems to set in the tube way before it should...And you end up chucking it out!! :tired: To combat this I squeezed what was left in the tube into an old Tamiya paint pot and topped off with Tamiya lacquer thinner. Every time I use it I add a...- Si Benson
