Hull
Managed to prime all the hull part's now ready for reassembly

[Roger Sleep]

Road wheel assembly,
Started on the road wheel's cleaned wheel's and primed where fastenings are being fitted.
Started to fit fastenings, tab's and then re-primed.

Not sure if i like the bolts seem to be a bit long? May need to shorten them.

[Roger Sleep]

Started to grind the bolt's down to make it look more like the real one's

Assembling the Hull
Had a bit of spare time, the wife went to town shopping with the girl's so the boy's and i have been busy working on the hull going together well really pleased.

Hi Roger.

Have fun mate in my opinion its THE best model Armortek have done with the Panzer 3 a close second! hard to choose out of a quality all round series from the number one producer but that's what I think.
Coming together nicely.
Cheers Paul.

[Roger Sleep]

I'm glad i made the right choice in the model type, i was hoping for a Stug III but there wasn't any available so settled with this monster.
Thank's Rog

[Roger Sleep]

Nice work on the sprockets!

Thank's for the comment took a while to file out the milling marks,

Idler and Suspension Arms.
Next task finish road wheel's Idler's and Sprocket's

[John Fitzsimons]

Did you pin all the suspension arms. Not in the official instructions but worth doing.
