CPNGROATS Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well, I've worked on cutting the 10 return rollers from the casting sprue, and experimented with folding the p/e periscope guards..they are tiny for sure..! Also, I'm going to use a 50cal m/g from a Dragon Sherman kit as well as a towing pintle and tow cable ends from the same Sherman kit. Going on to weather the resin tracks somewhat...prior to assembling them on the tank.. I'm going to use two Caliber 72 figures for this build and some type of simple base..... Model on................... Cheers, ggc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
