Thanks Uwe, what a great bit of information, it now makes sense, Here's my latest stage, Foot pedals and cover boots, and just a bit more progress, regards simon.

Amazing cab details Simon. I really like this version as well, but seems a shame to not use the beautiful crew body. Will you make it interchangeable?
Great stuff.

Thanks Jeff, Steve,Bob, Not much to report, i borrowed Adrian's rear Flak Body for a measure up and to see how the whole part would operate, regards simon

Hi all, I am still working on the dash panel, reproducing the dials has been tricky, getting some clean accurate detail, I have made a few to practise, regards Simon.

Hi, wow, looks really good. I have found you're dash work particularly interesting as that's what I have been looking for. Found the decals, BECCs, so good to see them still in business, I was using them over 25 years ago. But can I ask, are both the sheets you show, from BECCs? And thanks for the heads up on the bezels. Amazing work.
thank you

Thanks Fellow builders for the praise, i have made some progress on the Headlights and Notek light, all working and ready to fit, much the same as my previous build, a bit repetitive but had to be done, regards simon.

[Colin Stevens]

Hi, Still in awe of youre work. Notice that you have added tread plate here and there, can you tell me what size and where you got from please.

[simon_manning]

Hi all, i have made some paint progress on the front of the 7, i have also reprofiled the mudguards to fit more like the real vehicle and finally fitted the headlights, i will get the front complete before i attack the rear, Happy Easter regards Simon.

[David Brady]

Looking really good Simon, lots of detail and excellent paint work.

I am deeply impressed about your weathering skill. The halftrack looks just amazing.

Thanks Dave and Timo, As always i am getting the basic theme of color on the 7, i preferer a light blue / Grey look, perhaps a German Airforce inspired look, well worn, used vehicle, i will bring it altogether once all the panels are fitted, regards simon.
