Plumbum Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I am building this with aftermarket Aber barrel, Tamiya single link tracks and Eduard PE grills. I am using the scheme on the box, ambush camo for tank turret number 301 of the 9th Pz Div. I will use the commander figure and maybe get 2 more for the driver and front gunner.---John 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I have the hull and turret almost done. I am still waiting on the Eduard PE coming from Australia.---John 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Looks a nice little project, tag along if I may. Difficult to beat Tamiya for a well engineered kit that hopefully shouldn't present too many issues! Atb Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 One of my favorite vehicles !! Looking forward to the build !! Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Thanks, my favorites in order are Konigstiger, Panther V, then Tiger 1. I like the old early Shermans but there is just something about German armor, IT'S COOL! The barrel is assembled and glued to the turret.---John 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I started assembling and painting the rubber on the road wheels.---John 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 The PE grills came in from Australia today. I have them on and just need to add the 4 rectangular grates over them.---John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Looking good, the photo etch detail and the barrel really makes the difference! Nice clean and tidy build Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies to Johnv for hijacking his thread but I am doing this kit and stumbled on this very problem. Tamiya give you 4, Aber two, some references give 4, some 2 etc. Was there a set rule? Or is it definitely 2. (My very old copy of Achtung Panzer has 2 and I remember that was supposed to be reliable.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Two on the right side, as you look from the back. I can’t remember why it was just two though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries and thanks for your help. This was supposed to be one of those quick easy and cheap builds. But as it's progressed I've had to spend more on upgrades, do a lot of research and probably invest in a few more reference books. Bloomin' Germans and their complicated tanks.😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
