Bit more work on StuG, as well as doing the wheels on the Valentine
Added tow cable brackets,
Finished smoke cannisters and Notek lamp and PE bracket
Please do not look to close, bit too much CA in places and the tow cable brackets got better from the first to last lol

Very kind sir, even managed to control swearing
Building nicely Bob. Every small bit of detail lifts the build higher. Great stuff.
Hi Bob
Try a tip from NightShift, just a CA glue remover on a cotton bud!
I use black CA now so I can do the removal easier too!!
Looking good either way Bob, and a little extra weathering always covers a multitude of sins LOL
Have fun
Steve H
Thank you Tim
Need to decide how much PE to use??
Evening Steve
Thats a good tip, planning to do a tired old beast, will try to use a 3D tool clamp to see how i get on, nails are nice and long, for now!
Look the same Chris!!!, extra homework for you sir!
It is going to be a Miag build but out of the build dates for the missing centre bolt. The Takom StuG is the build i am doing with the missing bolt, and you remembered!
Ok chaps been fighting the good fight with a bit of PE.
Added the angle metal attaching the front of the superstructure to the hull
On the rear i have attempted to show that the axe is missing, used 2 parts from the PE and for the first time a 3D clamp in the open position.
Not up to manys standards but as PE and myself do not get on, not to bad in my eyes, would appreciate honest, warts and all feedback!!
The 3D clamp is well detailed but fragile.

Hi Steve
Do you mean the lifting thingies on the air intakes and compartment sides?
Good idea, will try not to wreck the axe getting the moulded clamps off lol
Do you think the pe looks ok?? Be honest sir
Bob
Yeah. these things

Looking good Bob!
Just started dabbling with large scale PE for the first time on my North Africa vignette and like you I'm struggling with excess PE..
Like Steve I have seen Night Shift use CA debonder successfully but need to order some. I did read somewhere that acetone is the main ingredient and so might give nail polish remover a try instead - I have plenty as I had to buy my own supply after my wife and daughter took exception to my repeated use of theirs!!:sad:
