It just needs a coat of clear to even out some of the glue smudge marks. This model is well worth the effort of building, the tracks even met exactly when I joined them !. Where the tracks roll around the front drive sprocket I had to flatten the guide teeth since the sprocket doesn't actually mesh with anything and the track sort of sits flat against the roller. There are a few fat banana finger mistakes but I seem to be the only one who knows where they are so it's all good. You'll notice Julius Perdana's Fury Sherman started..so far a nice bit of kit to assemble, I'm looking forward to working on it.

Most of it was done in 150gsm except for the barrel which was copy paper 80gsm, I tried to roll it in card but it was too thick. The attachment loops on the outside were made from some of old mate PICNIC's stainless aircraft tie wire and then painted. Everything fits like the last T34 model, tolerances are down to the width of a fly poop. The hull inner frame is done and ready for skinning now, be warned though, it's just about all butt joins and even where some of the small parts are tab joins I just cut them off and butt glued them as it easier and the shapes aren't deformed by the tabs. More to come. Bones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
