Thanks for the kind words everyone !!!
Small update today, I didn't sleep very well, anyway so I didn't spend much time at the bench today,
Panzer III N, PE Grills and gave a coat of Panzer Grey on the wheels.
Wespe, Got the rear plate and decals, still need some weathering and the last tools and equipment needs to be painted.
Lancia Stratos, most of the decals on the dashboard are there...
Grasshopper, Working on the suspension
Stay tuned for more this week !!

Fine progress today and the Wespe looks great with her decals on! Thanks Ian !! I started the Wespe many years ago, and left it in the box until this year. I'm really happy to have picked it up, and now I'm really close to finish it.
EDIT : Well, used the decals from a different scheme.

Excellent Sunday bench time there John Thanks Paul !!
I spend a few hours today at the bench, here's the update :
Tamyia Panzer III N , I worked on a few details on the top hull.
Trumpeter M1127, Rear door and started the top hull too.
Trumpeter Grasshopper, finished the last suspension parts
Miniart T-44, worked on the main gun.
This kit is very detailed, everywhere, the straps for the seats on the turret, the floor, side walls, etc... everywhere there is some amazing details most of it in Plastic not PE.
As you can see, I still have a lot to work on this gun...
Tamyia M1025 SP Conversion.
On this one I will have a different approach, so I will paint every sub-assembly first and then move to the next one...
The BlackDog Conversion looks good but... the instructions are very vague, it will be another challenge .
Takom T-54 B, working on the hull. Filling, cutting,sanding.
And that's it for today.

Yep, the Wespe is damned smart indeed . That T-44 Gun section is very detailed, even the "no interior" kits are packed with almost everyting. On the T-54-1 I built, the only thing missing was the breech block

All good progress John . It still amazes me how you don't totally loose it with all those builds Thanks Paul !!
It's not that hard, as long as everything is kept in the same box after working it's fine. Some builds are a little behind specially those with interiors or engines .
I will work some more tomorrow !
Thanks for the support !

Thanks everyone !!! Small update, I worked a little yesterday and this afternoon,
Panzer III N, more hull details, mostly the fenders and front of the tank.
M1127, upper part / roof , I will take some time now with the PE for the smoke grenade launchers.
M1025 Special Forces, still working with chassis and suspension parts.
LiveResin RWS for Academy M1151,
Since I couldn't find that part, I improvised with other cable connectors that were on another sprue, but I could only fit 3 and not 4 as shown in the instructions sheet.
this one I didn't find it on any sprue, so I left it without it.
It was extremely difficult to add the gun the main structure , I was almost ready to give up, but that was the only position to be fitted, I still need to add the ammo belt and some cables... and get the other gun on the other side too..
Wespe, I tried painting without masking it, but my hand kept moving too much, I will have to strip the paint and start over...
