Behind the scenes you how the cast number was created. Used a flat type scalpel to carve off the sprue numbers. Then these numbers were glued to the casted surface. Kind of easy but entertaining process.
Zimmerit everywhere. The rolled steel texture is gone. Mention here the old Eduard PE fenders I found in my stash. Front plate rivets are scraped off from another ancient kit part I found. Think it was from a StugIII kit.
