Nice bit of masking on the Lancia and Grille, and that transmission from the Bergepanther looks really awesome Thanks Paul !
And yes, they made a great job with the transmission without a PE fret like Tristar... which is great ! Let's how that goes... baby steps so far.

Good luck with the remainder

Good luck with the remainder Wow... that wasn't easy. After these Lancia's, Miniart kits, hundreds of tracks to clean up ..... I need a Tamyia kit !! I don't know how I will make it, but next month I start a Tamyia kit.

Well last F1 and MotoGP races of the year, so with Practice Sessions, Qualifying, Sprint Race and Races... and football ... I'm afraid this weekend isn't going to be as expected ... but still, here's a small update for today's effort :
Panzer I from Dragon... Decals.
Panzer V from Meng .... Decals.
Bergepanther from Takom, I kept working on the last bits of the transmission and also some work on the lower hull.
G2-12 needs to have the last recess with a deeper cut otherwise it won't fit.
Fixed and also added L11
And that's it for today !
Ending the Motorsport year I hope that my weekends will be more productive, at least until late March / early April

Gorgeous Panzer I and Panther, John! Thanks Ian !! An another amazing thing, the Dragon instructions for the tiny Panzer I are ok, I found no major issues with it.

You have the same kit right ?
The transmission is very detailed and easy to make, but pay attention to part M34 and M35 , they attach to the inside of L16 and L17, it's on the opposite side of the drawings. Besides that little thing, it's a breeze !
And also G2-12 & G2-14 are very thin , pay attention when removing from the sprue and cleaning up, quite thin and fragile, easy to bend or break. But the only real mistake is the recess in G2-12 that needs to be worked otherwise it won't fit.

But ... they have an Interior painting guide,
And since this is the Ausf.A version , after the 54th Step, they show you the Ausf. D version, just in case you want to dig deeper into your Plasticholism,
