Thanks Scottie, as always with things that wont be seen ,so not much ty time will be spent on that part as I'll have work cut out elsewhere.

Ahh thanks for that Steve...

Just ordered some internal photoetch , antennaes and optics, also found on the net some original 250 version layouts, which should help.

Joe glad to have you along also.,any suggestions / advice Joe?

Brad,
Wish I could offer some advice, but will leave that to the likes of some of the experts here. I do like where your build is headed and will continue to follow along.

Brad,
Not a problem. To tell the truth I kept looking at them and thinking they were not the correct size, the proof of the pudding will be under the paint, is the detail crisp enough etc. Cheers, Mike.

 

[Steve Jones]

Nice reference work Brad, The radios have gone together well. They will certainly stand out once painted. Great stuff

hi Mike sorry for delay. had time away with the family and finishing therapy with the NHS Vets service. Thanks to them for their time and effort, not completely fixed but better than I was. Again many thanks to them:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:.
I had to pull your sets out as I was losing the detail under the paint, however I will use them as some extra type of junctions within the vehicle.
thanks for providing them anyway, they will be useful elsewhere. maybe it's just me being heavy on the paint... anyway , hopefully get back to bench/table shortly

Brad,
Not to worry, the detail is soft on them anyway. The other way to go is to try to find, Aber set 35 A79 'German Tank Radio Set Fu 2 & Fu 5' One set of fret and six sides (A4 size) yep six sides of instructions - frightening....
Mike.

Hi all ,
I have put this on hold at the moment as I've lost the mojo for it, i hope to return to it later in the year.
Hope you'll join in again when it comes off the shelf.
Cheers
