Looks amazing Dave, hope to see it at Tankfest. I notice the tracks are a bit tighter than previous, have you run it yet ?

Dennis.

Hi All,

I have used our new British stencils on this either with a rattle can for the 43rd Div markings and stipple brush for the numbers, stars and Recce Regiment marking. Just need to pick up some white spray primer for the smaller box stencils etc. as they are too fine for stipple brushing.

Best regards

Dave

Hi All,

Finally got round to doing the No19 set with the new decals from Peddinghaus. The No19 set we offer is cast from the Panzerwerk masters with permission.

Best regards

Hi All,

Driver body and pose sorted. This head is very happy to be driving the Carrier. I have a couple of Facepool expression heads and still trying to decide which ones to use where. I have a Monty sculpt who may become the vehicle Commander. Leather Jerkin has been repainted. Still need to sort Div patches etc. Figures will be weathered eventually along with the Carrier.

Best regards

Dave

Fantastic work, such a wonderful choice of crew and another brilliant model. Looking forward to the weathering to copy on mine although mine is in the Caunter system. Wonderful.
