Awesome stuff, Mates!

Lt, love the little field packs! All the bits and baubs...is this what happens as you amass kits and spare parts, a plethora of cool little additions? Outstanding!

I think I have found the bits for the Daimler. It has some figures with it which I am not real good at but I'll give them a go. Just for interests sake - I bought this in Sweden McCoy - many years ago.

I've got a Sears Craftsman Nuts and Bolts Cabinet full of accessories...... 35 years worth. Most of it is archaeic by todays standards but I can't bear to part with it - what ails me? Pack Rat I guess.

I just received my Italieri Stug IV this evening in the mail from an ebay seller.

I think I'll give this one to flammpanzer for his "25 year old build" and he wants me to tell you guys that he'll probably do his Leopard for the "Open Build"..... what a guy!

Re: Group Build 8 week! 25 yr old kit! $$PRIZE

I don't have the box anymore nut the unit numbers are the same. Not a bad kit at all.

Quick query - the Daimler has very large wheels for it's body size so black tyres are going to look wrong for sure. Should I use a grey of some sort on the sidewalls to simulate fading before I put sand (desert) on them ? Not really sure with this larger scale.

If anyone can help here I would be grateful. Ta.

RB, trust me... You won't need any of it until two weeks after it gets pitched!

HONEST!!!

Magna, I'd personally put some fade on them tires before sand...otherwise I think the contrast will be too glareing. Just my two cents.
