Very Good, Jakko - will you frame it & put it over your bench? :thumb2:

Nah, that would destroy the magazine (in any case it would be impractical to frame everything I’ve written that actually got printed ). It’ll go on one of the shelves with my other modelling magazines when I finish reading all the articles.

Tweezers. After losing loads of bits when they'd pinged off my Poundland ones, I decided to invest in something better, until I saw the price of them!
Did a search on here and someone suggested jewellery/ watch repair suppliers might be cheaper, so I had a look around and found these:

Nice and solid, serrated ends that grip well, and a tenner posted for the set, which I thought was a bargain.

Now you're cook'in. PaulE
A couple of things I picked up at Militracks last week:
Two kits from the sixties and although in German, the book has a nice selection of photos and technical drawings of the guns.:smiling4:
With an upcoming long weekend, got some silicone and resin to have a crack at casting and some more Evergreen to add to the selection:
They also had a new epoxy glue in store, as I was looking for a good one for a while, think it’ll hold resin bits together fine as it’s designed to repair yachts.:smiling:

Is that book by Werner Müller, published by Podzun-Pallas-Verlag, Friedberg? (I have a book with the same title, but a different dust jacket.) If so, it’s a really good resource, with lots of in-action photos plus official drawings and photos from manuals. The only better resource on the 8,8 cm FlaK I have is US Army TM E9-369A
(But then again, I don’t have an extensive collection on these guns.)View attachment 343169View attachment 343170View attachment 343171View attachment 343172View attachment 343173View attachment 343174View attachment 343175A visit to the LMS recently to scratch that" itch." I came away with these.

Small hatch in sidewall between idlers 1&2 missing? PaulE
Bob,
You have got me?
You have got me?
Hi Paul
The escape hatch was only fitted on the Stug Ausf A (version 2) and one Ausf G and both were welded shut. its a easy mistake but Stug's were built using there own factory built hulls based upon the Pz 111, but they left off some bits. The second A and the one G used chassis built at a Pz 111 factory and therefore had the escape hatches
