That requires a shop all its own. Can't wait to see more.

sorry should have said what scale that is 1/35 hehehe i think i worked outin a larger scale 1/6th it would have been over 2.5 mtres long and that is just the train and wagons

That Br52 is an awesome kit mate. I've seen a pic of it built for the 'EuroMilitaire' show in the UK a few years ago and it's still in my top five models by other people. I'm sure you're aware that Eduard have released no fewer than four PE detail sets for that kit. One day, I'll build it with all that lovely brass.
Looks great mate...looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for the pics.
Peace.

Why did it look to me like you were doing it in 1/6th? I guess I need that optometrist's appointment more than I thought!

thanks mate yeh im aware of the brass but for once in my life im trying to build straight from the box the only good thing is i dont have much reference material on br 52's or i wouldnt be able to help myself

There's a thread on this forum dealing with the Reich's Lokomotivs...hope you don't find it
I can't build out of the box anymore. I usually build aircraft and the idea of not putting in some seat harnesses where they aren't provided seems odd to me. I've seen some sublime models but a lack of such an obvious feature seems silly given how easy they are to make. Just my taste of course.

all my other german armour and aircraft gets the brass or resin treatment this one was just such a big project that i figured if i got bogged down in the super detailing it would never get finished

Perfectly understandable too.
