Boots, what's going on bro? You said I was close, but no cigar. I thought it was a hooky thing you had in mind. I was way way off. You had me in suspenders all the time dude ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)

Ah yes, now that must have been the original plan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . You need 3 of these to tow a Tiger ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) . Boots have you got 3 Famos? I can help you out with a second if not, and only if you're willing to go for it, I'll even chuck a Tiger in if you do ![(:))](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/ninja.png)

I know what mean fella ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) , 3 of 'em and a Tiger 1 would be about five feet long at a guess ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) . Grand start there though ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) , I loved building mine back then it was pure fun all the way ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) .

If i emptied my shelf of done builds it would work......but.....i gotta find room for a fekin` gert Hind as well........not that it fits on a shelf anyway!! ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) I may well clear a shelf one day as i wanna finish the FAUN trailer and load plus i would like to put somat behind this such as a trailer or 21cm Morser 18 etc.....i`ll make it my trailer shelf ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) This funny enough is my favourite engine to build and it`s typical Tam fit and quality thru and thru.......i don`t normally build the same vehicle twice (T55`s are an exception btw ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) as are a limited few more) but for the cause and the pleasure of building it i didn`t hesitate to pull the trigger on this one...........and it`s a weathering dream ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ...........not decided on theatre yet but leaning towards a North African useage..........havn`t done a Des Yellow one for a while ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) ..........nice bit of sand blasted paintwork required me thinks ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Cheers fella ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

A trailer shelf sounds fantastic Boots ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) . And the Afrika-Korps-Braun over a Dunkelgrau base coat will be bloody awesome fella ![](http://www.allsmileys.com/files/smiley-central-emotions/5150.gif) . Sounds like the painting plan has already kicked in ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

To be honest mucker i prefer to work with the lighter colours such as yellows/sand, W/W, faded greens etc coz it shows weathering affects well ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Like the idea of ya colour choice ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) .........thats one idea now engraved in my ideas dept ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) ........as for painting plans in general..........the Sherman was gonna be green and look what happened to that!! ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) Possible go for On Track for me ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Boots, the Afrika-Braun isn't as dark as it sounds. It's also available from Revell Aqua colours and quite cheap ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . These are good paints, and thin with glass cleaner or water, but prefer the glass cleaner ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Will be good to meet up at On-Track if possible, been a long time since the last meeting ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/8xWVLn0/Afrika.png)
