Morning John
Looks like I'm in the second row behind the rabble. As Peter says it is less common to see the earlier tanks rather than Panthers and Tigers.

Jim

Good evening Jim, yes I'd suggest that you increase the distance between you and the rabble by 4 mtrs.
The good thing about this it doesn't have the no of wheels the later ones did !

Steve and Rick. 6’ apart and I hope John wears his mask on this build he is one of the elderly what is he now 98 or 100 yrs old

Ain't that the truth...it's not Russain and it ain't green!!:tongue-out3:

Nice one Rick:nerd::smiling2::smiling2:


Hi to the Rabble in row 1 and to the others gathered in the second row
Good evening gentleman. I trust you are all well and comfortable.

Having spent the morning and early afternoon in the garden, where else !
I came in and started, first thing instructions that are clear, well they are on this first page, though I have noticed I shall be asking for help later .

Got this far.




Is there supposed to be a join line visible. Wouldn't go any tighter as there was pin moulded to the plate.

Right hand slope .

The section that I was stuck over is.



Or

As I intend to build.



Which one would I require please experts in German Armour ?

Thanks .
C & C welcome
John .

[Guest]

I'll squeeze in somewhere if I may John. I've donned my Hazmat suit so no need to worry about distancing.

[Mini Me]

Looks like a good start JR, I didn't see Mr. T in the audience so you are on your own concerning that gap. In looking further, if I were the engineer designing this tank I would want that outer plate on the final drive to be one piece and not two with a visible line running through it. Just my humble opinion Sir. Rick H.

[Steve Jones]

I wouldnt worry too much about the struts on the front faced armour unless you know the Fgst number and whether it was made by MAN, MNH, Daimler, Alkett, Henshell, or Miang of the Panzer Ausf L that you exactly want to build. I suspect there would have been both variants on the Russian battlefield in 1942.

The first production models from April/May 1942 up to June 1942 would have been Option A. June 1942 onwards would have been Option B.

The only thing right about the sprocket plate is that it is the right shape. There should be no line and its missing about 20 rivets and nut heads. If you want to scratch a replacement let me know and I will send you the picture of it.
