M3talpig Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Work continues No S-mine launcher on Ursula so this had to be filled Cupola had two issues, not enough texture and was missing the gap between the cupola and the turret roof The gap was done by putting a bevel on the edge of the cupola, texture was humbrol filler, some cleanup still to be done The mantlet on Ursula has the monocular gunsight but the binocular brow so the binocular holes had to be filled Then the new sight drilled........... note how i didn't just drill a hole but tried to keep the two steps of the machined hole as it was in and cleaned up in the real mantlet Decided i wasn't happy with the soldering on the mud flaps so stripped them and re-did them And two of the hinges for the cutouts on the main mud flaps...yes they work 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great choices though, think you might be onto a hiding to nowhere with the pzr III stuff fella! Go on where have you splashed the cash home or abroad? Spent a bit in the bovington black Friday sale yesterday and put an order in with Mig Jimenez this morning. Bought a great looking book, in English, Italienfeldzug. German tanks and vehicles 43-45. Half the price it is from via Amazon btw even coming from Spain. Should have a couple of Stugs coming too, couldn't decide between Takom and DW... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
