Your weldlines are subtle and seem to be spot on from the vehicles I've seen! Superb work!

Hi Yves,

Your weld lines are very nice indeed!
I still have to put some more practice into that before adding them to my actual model, but yours look great :D

You have made quit a bit of progress the past week! Nice!

Verry good welding Yves,

sometimes the quality of armorpax is not like I use to have, but some parts you can use.
I am excited to see your details on it :wink:

Hello Florian,

It is strange that there is no working notek light on the market,
like the working Bosch light. :roll:

I just orderd on ebay a MG 34 for the stug 8)

Hello Yves,

the notek front or back is not so simple to build in serie I think.
I'll make the next ones by my own.

The next model for me is now finaly in the announcement. - the Hetzer :D I like the smal fast light tank. He also needs a notek :shock:

Regards
Florian

Verry nice Yves,

I like the way you made the caps of the return rollers, but how do you do the sunk screw? - I would make it with a model hex srew from Knupfer. It M4?!
The welding of the rolls are verry good. I'll do it also :D

Hello Florian,

I cut down the screws for the return rollers and the stug wheels and glue them in.
The bolts are M2 for the return roller hub caps
The bolts are M2,5 for the hub caps for the wheels.
Also put the rubber tires on the wheels.

best regards Yves

Hi Yves, the bolts on the caps look really nice 👌🏼

How do you profile your welds? The structure looks like a straight flat line, screwdriver maybe or did you make something for it?
