Cheers Robbo Ok fellas..........not abandoned this........just been a tad busy with stuff associated with life At the mo i`m trying to sort the stowage..........Italeri`s idea of how the stowage should be on this is way wide of the mark, so....i`m re-jigging things using ref pics to how they should be on the real/pretend vehicle.....i will need to make some proper tarps and such like.....at the mo i`m working my way round the rear rack on the back of the tank....i`m gonna have to use some of the kit stowage unfortunately as i have no decent stuff left in my spares box and i don`t have much spare wonga left at the mo to replenish.........hopefully have somat to show soonish

Ok fellas.....
I did mention the kit stowage shown on the instructions is way off course, it shows 2 jerry cans and a bucket on the left rear shelf plus a box......the pic below shows what should be there...
So here`s where i am with it at the mo..........not much i know but it`s a little bit nearer being correct, the main deck is mainly rolled tarps with boxes on top so i`m using Joe and Pete`s pics as a rough guide to try and work out what goes where as best as poss. The turret stowage is somewhat trickier......the 2 rolls i`ve added need some tissue work done to give them a little bit more of a better look........also the hanging bags which need adding are not the greatest but i think i can work with them
Just as a matter of interest.........i ran out of mixing bottles so i bought 20 of these off of Flea bay for a few quid..........20ml size dropper bottles, they do from 10ml to 100ml..........i put a Vallejo bottle for size comparison, being dropper bottles i can pre-make my paint mixes and drop them nice and controlled with no mess into the AB cup..AK do them but you only get 4 for about £7
More when i get a mo ..........sorry if pics are a bit big forgot to resize......still getting used to using Flikr

Yeah. Setting yourself a real challenge by doing an exact or similar copy. Good luck with it.

good to see some stowage, looks good mate. And dropper bottles, can't go without them anymore. So much easier to drop paint in the ab without spilling (especially when using Tammi/Mr.Hobby paints)

Great stowage details your going for Boots. Glad the pictures helped a little. I got a packet of Ammo Mig ball bearings to put one in my Vallejo paints for stirring like the ones that come with the Ammo Mig paints.

I wonder if you could buy little ball bearings on e bay bet they would be cheaper

Post by Robbo on Sept 2, 2021 16:52:12 GMT
Just had a look. 20 3mm ball bearings for £2.45 is that better than AK

Post by Robbo on Sept 2, 2021 17:58:54 GMT
No that price went up if you didn't buy loads a 20 balls in a bag. I got 25 2mm for 3.45 post free

Thanks very much fellas and yes i am going for as near as dammit to the film load out........it won`t be exact because that isn`t possible, i`m not going `rivet counter` thats for sure but a reasonable rendition would suit me.... As for the ball bearings ......i bought a pack of a 100 x5mm for about 4 or 5 quid off of E-bay

The Ammo Mig ones are on ebay for about £5 post free. They cost about £3.50 in my LHS. There's a fair amount in the bag
