1/48th ABER (AB48A1) Historex agents have grilles in stock check if they do a all in one set

 

https://www.historexagents.com/#AB48A1

 

Just the grills. They do a barrel too, but it's out of stock. I have everything I need to get started though, thank you. Didn't find that myself in a half day of Googling.

So no build update today to busy at work 😕. However my buckets and other do dads have arrived so I thought I'd add a few pic's

Not bad for less than £4 imo even though I ordered 2 sets by mistake 🙄. So I have a question regarding the Jerry can's and the Tiger l. Would the Tiger have carried around Jerry can's for fuel and water and if so is there a specific place where they would have been stored ? The reason I ask is because I have lots of Jerry can's available to use and could maybe use a few on the Tiger. Oh and I've ordered some camouflage netting as well as I know for sure this was stored on the Tiger 🙂👍

Sometime in the last 24 hours I've seen a Tunisian Tiger that had a row of jerry cans stowed across the turret in front of the hatches. All painted different colours too, for oil water &c. Of course I'm never going to find it again now it would be useful :(

Btw guys. 
Thise cans would Nit be carried in the vehicle if there was Any chance of going into combat :D

 

Also, some kits come with an armored cover for the turret fan/ventilator. 
This cover had to be removed for the gun to fire.

First off spell checker is widely available nowadays 🙄and secondly I'm going to add a plethora of do dads to my Tiger build because I can and thirdly i need to take a lot more time over my armour builds in the future so they end up the best work I can possibly do.......I think I may be turning into a sort of "Mini Steve " 🤔👍

Nope just expect an adult to have basic grammar skills 🙂

 

Your first mistake..... Thinking of me as an adult.

Lee I'm beginning to think that without our input and help from a few others this thread would be dead already 🙄

 

Your second mistake..... The enemy is amassing  their forces, biding their time....

 

They’ll strike when the After Market goodies drop.

Sorry chaps but you did kinda jump the gun, going prematurely and all that.  Is it a common trait or malady in other facets of life too....
