T55
Carefull cleaning up
Battub ready, time for details.
The black glue is cy glue from AK with rubber particles. Should be a kind of flexible. It glues well and you can see where the glue is. (Also on the fingers ??.

The scenario, T-55 accidentally in West-Germany near Berlin.
Berlin Police is at the scene. They wear the 1947 uniform with black tschako.
Grandad tells his story, while grandmum amuses herself with the Russians.
Policecar blocks the way

For the dio
Coneheads, I have to scratch the black tschakos
Working on the Beetle now, still waiting for the tank tracks.
The tschakos (the black policehat)as good as finished. still no idea how to make the policestern on the hat.

Figures primered, the heads of the tank crew and policemen are Hornet
So, final verdict. It will be the Käfer 1200 from Aitfix, with Rightsteering dashboard, which I displeced with an European one with policeradio.
I cut the door open, as I want to let it look like a quickly left car

Tracks are on, sprayed the whole tank with a matt cote
How small a beetle looks besides it
Sprayed the fenders white, the figures black and then zenithal white from above

Interesting concept. Anxious to see how this comes together. Beetle in 1/35? Did not know something like this existed.

I like everything so far, lots of detail coming through. Really like the painting on the tankers.
