Thanks Wolfgang That means a lot to me , I've been out of the hobby for 10 years or more but back into the swing of things . I have to make up my mind to order either the Jagdpanther or half track . Half track in the lead at the moment waiting to see more detail from Armortek . Which way would you go wolfgang ? Dale

Primed with super etch . I'm very happy with the way it turned out the stowage rack is a big feature of the Sherman rear end . Took about four days of modelling time . Dale
