Very nice old chap, you are almost as quick as me!! Thanks but it is a Tamiya and it is a 1/48. I’ve just primed with mr surfacer 1000 and the product is great. Never used it before but will again. Anyone any comments on the 1200? They didn’t have it when I bought the 1000.

Never used it Tommy, not for priming anyway. It does look rather good though

Lovely primer, used it in the past and had great results. Not sure on type I used but I would think the 1200 is even finer?

My tip for painting wheels. Paint the hubs and then use Tamiya black panel line accent colour to soak around the rim of the hub cap. It gives you a millimeter or two of black as a safety line before painting the tyre.
Makes it a lot more stress free!!!

Loving the speed of the build. Looks like great detail for a 1/48 kit.
Cheers for the tip on the wheels. I have an early Panther with rubber wheels in the stash, so that will be the perfect solution.

Looks great Tommy. I do like Tamiya 1/48th. Your tempting me into assembling one from the stash to get me away from spraying for a day or so.

Some decals on and it’s 2nd panzer div (Archer decals) on the front. And, yes, got that earthquake at 11:08 last night. It was a long and a big one. Luckily I was wearing brown underpants.
