You should always wash them beforehand - you don't want any contamination of the tank parts

Hello Nick, I know what you mean about the 'Brillo' it's a game to get rid of the bits in the sink.
Hello Phil, the RASC lads cleaned the Sudwerk trucks, and occasionally crashed them, we the REME, repaired and serviced their vehicles......Mick

Hello Phil, yes the Sudwerk truck hit a tree on a road covered in snow coming back to Mulhiem from Winterberg, lucky for us we were in a following vehicle.
I should be able to devote all my spare time to the Jagdpanther, now the garden is going into Autumn shutdown......Mick

Well....had to cut the lawns today. I have started on the the upper hull top plate. I think thats what it is called. My hatch handles did not turn out to well. Used 3mm aluminium instead of 2mm.....they look far to thick. Never mind, the build continues.....

HI MICK
Dont worry about the hatch handles i think they will look ok ,i used 3mm handles on the pz1v and i think they are about right ,if you get a member of your crew to grab hold of one i think it would look just right

.keep posting all the best ,,,,,,,,nick
