Bart GoesaertNice work so far, that cage at the side is sure a lot bigger when compared to the plastic part.

Andy CoddHi Bart, Many thanks for that - yes, its for jerry cans which I will add at the end. The PE has been a big learning curve but really adds to the model - especially things like the latches on the stowage boxes and the crane hooks. Just got to get to grips with the weathering process now - that should be interesting...

Andy CoddTank itself almost complete and working on figures to go on the base atm.. then just to decide exactly how and where on the diorama to display them.

Andy CoddFinding the figures hard work, will have to put in much more practice before I am capable of putting in something half way ok. Will finish this Panzer II and add the figures at a later date when they are ready.
