Chaps I have been adding lots of nice little knocky offy bits today . I started with all the track hangers, then moved onto hatch handles and then some stuff that Takom have missed. The barrel has been primed prior to gluing the hull together, simply because I needed to know if the seam has been eradicated . I needed to add the fuel tank vent pipes as these were only half shown, then there is a position holder on both front mudguards and a clamp to hold the gun crutch. I also decided I didn't wish to add the towing cables and track mounting cable, which meant having to chop them up and drill/cut the holders, so I could add them empty. Still a few bits to add yet, but I reckon I can prime this beast next weekend . More soon dudes, and as always ACACW

Some excellent work mr Evil. I love the JT. It was a very able vehicle, condemned by propaganda after the war. For which camo are you going for? Maybe an ambush scheme?!?! π

Now that's some fine work as usual mate, the vent pipes in particular are something I was not aware of on these. It's looking killer!

Cheers Petemeister . It's small things like the pipes, which are often overlooked by the kit manufacturers.

Steve, Ian, Jeff, thank you very much chaps . I'm afraid I haven't gotten any primer on the beast yet , but I have added some of my best friend Mr.P.E. . As I decided to make a late vehicle, I also decided to leave off the on board tools, that means the clamps have to go on instead. As these are not included in the kit I went in search in PE spares box, and found a set of stuff from Lino Roar. This set was for a StuG F, but tool clamp is tool clamp, so after some time I have managed to get the the axe and hammer clamps on. Next up, crow bar, spade, starting handel.....
