Looks like a good start , John.
I know nothing about tanks although I did build this kit in my youth.
But I shall come along for the ride and the banter!
cheers

Hi Peter, no not going that way, might put a bit of filler in the gaps. The snow will hopefully cover a lot .
That's a great photo Bob, thank you. Always nice to see one in the flesh.John

Welcome Andrew, perhaps you could instil some discipline on the front row. They can get out of hand if they run out of tea and Si's cakes.
Paul, I'm not surprised how threads are missed, there seem to be such a lot of new ones recently. I'd sit in the second row if I was you, some pretty rough types on the first
.Evening Mr Benson, yes good old Tamiya, such a change to build something that actually fits !

Your always welcome Neil, there's not much I know about German tanks either ! Other than they seem to have a lot of wheels .
Welcome Monica. Good start as you say, let's hope it carries on that way .very nice start to this one John,seems to be going along well,
Grab a seat in the second row. Bit rowdy in the front.
Thanks all for looking in, hopefully more tomorrow !
Feeling ok thanksjust wanted something that I could use the Fruils on .
It's only me that lies in bed SimonThank you for the information.
Are you MAD ?--------------- you expect me to do this AND then cover it up !
Steve your Completely MAD .but I like you
Any more of these utterly ridiculous ideas that you have to send me over the edge and you will be sent home ! I shall have words with Mrs Jones .
I think someone for got there med this morning. Steve beware

Nice set of wheels you have there Mr Race. Now have you checked the hole configuration on the road wheels and made sure the sprockets have the correct number of teeth? LOL
Yes Steve teeth all correct , but the outer edge of the drive sproket is .004 out on the vertical , a section of plastic card hand shaped will compensate for this oversight.
Surprising that Tamiya let this slip, you'd have none of this slapdash with a model from PARC . Now they are true examples of perfection .

Outstanding gentlemen! Not laughed this long since at least I saw a dodgy window frame LOL
Youse guys are all in trouble if Matron slips her leash. PaulE
No Lee I had my meds, lucky for me Matron is under lock-down as one of her family are ill , so Mrs R gave me a tablet instead.
, how did you guess !I 'm saying nothing
.Quite safe Paul as I said to Lee.
OOooh
.I wouldn't be at all surprised Rick.
Well had a good laugh reading the banter, nice to see others did as well .
Welcome Greg, if your feeling strong you can sit with the Rabble, but I warn you they seem to be all effected by a sudden case of isolation madness, and are likely to have out bursts.
Right back to the build.
As it was such a sunny day I decided to work in the garden, what better than the sound of a Black Bird , a mower in the back ground, the smell of newly mowed grass, heaven !
Started with those wheels, cleaned up the cut off marks and then removed as much of the seam line as possible, then roughed them up and removed quite a bit of the outer rim of rubber.
Then decided to do the Friul's along with a cup of strong tea to carry me.
Picked up the box and caught sight of the type and date they were fitted.
1943/45, so not the correct ones for 1942.
Back into the cave and found the correct type. Mind I don't thing many would notice.
With the correct year I set too and cleaned all 230 , not a lot needed doing on this first stage, a few had very small moulding marks, quick file and into the "done " box
Tomorrow i'll do the drill through, with luck out side in the sun.
The sharp eyed will have notice damp slabs, I'd just moved the watering system.
Thanks for looking in C & C welcome.
Thanks John.
