Yesterday and today saw me adding the final bits and bobs to both the carrier and the 6 pdr, this consists of all the bits that would get knocked off, mirror, etch etc

And I finally had a good reason to use my set of micro drill bits I bought from Uschi Van der rosten, 0.25mm holes drilled to accept 0.2mm wire for the radio headphones and mouth piece.
Small arms have been left off for painting and the addition of figures.......

the gun in fixed into its towing position

And the two connected.........

How nice is that Carrier!!

It' still surprising that Panzerart or anyone else for that matter hasn't done a tarp :?

That is a great finish Vlad

Congrats

Because they've seen Vlad's built here and decided that we can't reach it's excellence anyway so we don't deserve a resin tarp to hide our insufficiency :lol: .

That is a seriously good piece of kit there Vlad. :) I don't think I could cope with all those tiny bits though as much as I would like to. :roll:
