Thanks very much Graeme,
... Actually I'm looking forward to getting that done too...
... It's all a bit garish at the moment!!
Not quite Andrew...
... You can see some touch up bits on there at the moment,where I kinda rushed bits, but I'm hoping that with the weathering, it'll blend in ok
Looking very good Andy.
Thanks very much Ian.
I must admit that wanting to try the scheme for the first time makes for a proper,full on, effort.
Think it's top notch all round Mr Smith , are you sure you've not painted yellow on young Cohan's feet and let him walk allover it ?
The Committee are starting to gather !

Camouflage is very well done…keep it coming!!
Thanks very much Guys, very much appreciated,and I'll answer individually tomorrow 
.... For now though, ere's what's appended!! ...
Hatches painted up and added,sideskirts done and added, exhaust done,grab handles fitted,decals smashed on,and all in gloss now with some blending,basic foundations for weathering also done...
... So that's it so far,a great kit IMHO .. but still quite a bit to do, not a problem mind, it's such good,fun,build

Well then guys, we're nearly there
I've put the tools on and added some weathering, not going to go overboard as it's a "Late" Hetzer, therefore I'm treating it as not actually that old,but one more overall wash is needed.I've also built up the MG assembly,(which was actually the most fiddly part of the entire build!), and made a start on the Commander......
Only going to do the one figure, don't see the point of the one on the back!
Getting the arms in the correct positions took a few goes,but got there in the end Hoping to get him finished today,he has to be in position before you put the MG on
So there ya go,next time you look in it'll be finished.
Thanks for looking in, cheers for now

Howdy Mr. Smiff, Talk about late to the party!....just had a complete read up on this build.....downright stunner it is!! That camo job came out the K-9's Codds!! and I'm quite certain JR and the Committee are standing by in the wings, waiting for this to come over the finish line! Tip 'O the Hat to your efforts so far!
