Argh, i used the wrong Head....
Just saw i need to add some zimmerit on the front lower part of the turret
because the Driver und Radioman needs to be insterted from the Bottom, i cant fix the lower hull yet.
So the machine gun mantlet and engine door, where u screw the helfs tocether, need to wait.
Next is figure Painting

now with the correct Head
I changed the Head of the second Guy in the Turret. The first head had to go on the Radioman, because he allready has his headset around his Neck! But he needs some Surgery on his Nose
grills are on
A quick overlay with Aluminium foyl, the one you get from Take Aways f.e. gives me something to work with. At least the thickness of the Fender can now be compensated.
Testing
all handles have been replaced by Wire
Damage and weight on the Grills added
Now everything on the hull is done. To finally fix the upper on the lower hull, the figures need to be painted.

Roger LustenbergerHey Spanjaard. The Atak Zimmerit is really easy to use and handles like Paper. Cut it with a sharp knife, grind it just a bit on the back side sonit isnt so thick and place it on the model. I used Ethyl acetate to fix it on the Plastic. Just add the brush with glue to its edges and the Glue will suck into the space between Zimmerit and Plastic and bond. I can only recommend it!

Roger Lustenbergeri'm debating of mounting the side Fenders on or not. If yes, the Zimmerit on the side of the hull needs to be cut. But i want the Fenders to be damaged, so some surgery on the plastic has to be done. The Fender for the Tiger Panzer are easily copied with Foil, but the King Tiger has special Forms... lets see what i can do

Ken KolenovskyHi Roger! Just in case, Hauler does some PE fenders that could be damaged very easily.

Spanjaardthose fenders look really good in metal. much thinner than plastic. and can probably be damaged anyway you want. looks like thin aluminium, right?
