Mr JamesCheers Spanjaard, Its been in the corner for a while as I got bored with the tracks. I thought if I post it, It'll give me the kick I need to finish after the Tiger

Pietro De AngelisI didn't imagine that Eduard's photoetched zimmerit would turn out so well,
great work,
congratulations!

Mr JamesThanks so much Pietro, It was the best that I could do with it. I wouldnt use it again. The primer I used came off with the lightest of touches and I think its quite 2D looking. Also, it's very hard to show damage on the zimmerit, I think Meng's rubber type decals are better or the putty and knife approach. We live and learn. 🙂

DoubtingmangoWow! I did that kit about two years ago. There's a lot wrong with it, but I don't see any of those flaws in your build.

Mr JamesCheers DoubtingMango. You're not wrong about the flaws. It has quite a few. There's a lot of bits out of the spares bin to make it presentable. The tracks are just horrid and so I'm half way through assembling Bronco after market ones. They are nicely detailed but a complete arse to fix together 🙁

Guy RumpYou've done an excellent job on this so far, the zimmerit is outstanding. Looking forward to completion. 👍

Mr JamesCheers Guy. Thanks for saying so. As I said before, I wouldnt use it again or really recommend it. Decals would have been better.

CaptGPFSo realistic - all you have to do it snap a few pictures of it outside and it would probably be mistakened for the real thing!

Mr JamesThanks for saying so Capt, I'll have some new pics when I get round to it. 🙂

Stephen LesleyKnowing how problematic the Eduard Zimmerit can be, the work is superb, especially on the front glacis plate. I agree with you that it is very 2D, noticeable on the turret sides etc.

Mr JamesThanks again Stephen. I tried to get the best out of it. As I said, last time I use it.

Mr JamesHa yes. Thanks Carlos... I paid £11.00 each for two kits, a bargain 🙂 I've pimped this one up a bit with some questionable Zimmerit and bits from my spares box. The other one I'm planning to set fire to, when I acquire the skills to do so.

Carlos CisnerosNice! I have one that I got at a club auction for $1, with a bunch of extras, so I have a similar project in mind for it one day. Lots of scratch work to fill the empty spaces, but lots of fun too!

Mr James1$ is a proper bargain 🙂 Yeah, it's a lot of work filling in gaps, drilling out exhausts, tracks, it goes on and on... 🙂
