Paul,
I can only say what others have said. But I'll say it anyway, great job on the restoration, it came out very good. Cudos for taking on such a challenging project as well. Its great to see people like you do ground up restorations on these "classics". I'm sure the customer was delighted on this one. Keep em running!

PS hows that Jagdtiger coming along? Been quiet on that front... :roll:
Best regards,
Bob

Thanks. I did the dashboard the way I explained in either an e mail od P.M. can't rememeber which it was now :roll: but anyway the dashboard dials come from a sheet of paper downloaded off the net these are then stuck on the Dash and away you go.

Hi Paul
I searched and searched on the net with the info you sent me but to no avail. Then I asked an old aquaintance, Alfredo Campanini on how he did his quality dash (see his fantastic pictures on the forum). As a true friend in the modelling world, he sent me a copy of a set of the correct dials. The quality is excellent. If anyone else needs a copy the correct set please let me know.
