Evening from a bit cooler Bamberg everyone,

Coming on very nicely indeed Herr Derwire. A lovely neat build and smooth paint.

Thank you Herr Scott!!! Damn Buddy, I didn't think we were so formal of late!!!...

Sorry Allen, missed the start. Such an iconic vehicle - really says D-Day. Lovely kit. As you say typical Tamiya. It's coming on a treat.

No need to apologize my friend. The kit is a joy to build Jim, Jigs, or Jimbo (choose one). I guess it is funny to see me build something from the other side. Thanks so much for looking in!!!...

Thank you Steve!!! I have to admit that Tamiya colors spray really well for me. This paint is well over 25 year old and still very useable. Hell, I almost forgot I even had the XF-62 color!!! It's the other brands of acrylics that give me headaches using the hissy stick...

Well Mick, no worries and I can understand that as you are probably still in the holiday modus, even though you are back at work. Thanks for checking in, my good friend...

Lovely jubbly!

Thank you too, Andy!!! You're not doing too shabby either, Brother!!! I can't even keep up with you though...

I knew you would have the answer, Paul and it's most appreciated. The decal on the dash is unreadable and gave no clue being so tiny. Hope all is well in downtown Ohio, Sir!!!...

We're gonna make this short and sweet, as yesterday was way too hot to do anything. Today, I mixed up a batch of piggies with some water and scrubbed it over the tires,


I figured I would do the tread/sidewall muck first. I let it dry and then hit them with some dry Q-Tips. You can see the difference after the scrub down,


Terrible pic bit the two on the left were scrubbed and the one on the right was not. Now I have to do the wheels with some thicker mud deposits to finish the whole noise. I went looking for some CITB in the stash, but I have so many boxes of oop:, I couldn't find any of it. I'll do another search tomorrow and maybe I'll get lucky. I guess it's time to do some serious organizing...

Thanks again all, for looking in and the wonderful comments. It keeps the Mojo flowing and me on my toes...Have a great weekend and I'll be back, for the attack..........

Prost
Allen

Tremendous stuff great subject, ,im with you on the paint brush probs ,my pet hate is tyres being slobby to start with there's no way I'm going through setting up to spray a few ,wether truck or on tank wheels even more so when working in 72nd doesn't matter who's (manufacturers)shade of grey shaken ,stirred with a badger mixer ,put in the lacquer shaker brushed on always got a horrendous sheen so seeing its not just me you've re.ived my pain some what ,keep this one coming im enjoying the journey.
