A quick update on the other battery option configuration and a little addition. The next job is shading the road wheels with the air brush and prepping for the turret detail kit that should arrive Tuesday, along with a beautiful tool box which will be full of tools! Now we are aware that the tool box was not generally found on the rear of the late Tiger 1 examples but we felt it would add even more interest to that busy rear plate.

Love that compass.
What I've been doing. Note the new tracks are kept tight but slowly lower into position as they quickly wear in, if I have the tension right another hours running and it will be there.

I have had a good day weathering and I am liking the results, I hope you guys do to, so here's a taster for tomorrow mornings post. Basically to get that realistic look one application of weathering is not going to cut it, many applications are required.....many many applications!

Phil, from my limited experience with FOA, they never send any instructions with the parts. One is expected to go on their website to get/see any instructions or photos.
