Thank you Villier; still waiting for the resin kit to arrive, so I'm spending some necessary time with the running gear

Thank you Jennifer, I guess the old saying "measure twice, cut once" applied here; all went well, bolts are in! 🙂

Noticed the fantastic details of that kit. They're going to come really nice. Looking good

Nice progress. I suppose the Perfect Scale parts shouldn't pose any problems.

Thank you mates; @Michael, so far the set is not posing any problem; truth be said, I'm only starting to apply a few part and many of them I will not use, because the set is intented for the Revell and Tamiya kits and it seems to me the Border Model one is more detailed for my purposes

Thank you Guy; it's slow progress as the changes between armies are several and not very well documented..

Hi Ricardo, just some extra information: The brackets in picture 28 are for camouflage net poles. Depending on the exercise the Portuguese Army might not used them or are having a different set of camouflage material all together. Your scratch built metal cases in picture 31 are Dutch holders for wheel chocks for railroad transportation. Those are different than the German ones in the kit. Hope this helps! 😊

Thank you Patrick; yes, in all photos and I have on my PC and on a book, the brackets do not hold anything; nice to learn about metal cases, it seems the portuguese kept them, they appear also in all photos almost always empty 👍
