Si B’s 1/35 Takom blitz Pz III Ausf M

[JR]

Very neat as always Si.
As to the table, just don't spill that super glue in that bag !or you will be in the garden.



Excuse me while I ask 570 as question.

Looking good Si.

I don't understand how some of my fellow modellers manage to keep their work areas so meticulously clean and laid out like a surgeon's table. Most impressive!

....and another thing. I don't know where you live Si, but if and when we ever get the chance to all meet again at RAF Cosford's model show, you are cordially invited to bring along your most excellent cakes!

Yours.

Excuse me how come I don't get an invite too ! :cold-sweat::cold-sweat::cold-sweat:
Is it because you didn't get a doughnut ?

Cheers John, you wouldn’t of said neat earlier... I had to tidy up as I made a hell of a mess with the glue down one side and left a dirty great finger print on it too :smiling5:

That’s not superglue in the bag. It’s actually a weird glue from China that Rochelle’s uses for the model buildings she has been doing...

Si would Rochelle like to finish mine off , that is brilliant. Is it a kit or built using imagination. Defiantly worthy of a

Its great isn’t it!
Its a kit from China and you cut the fabrics and paper, stitch the pillows, add wiring etc. She really got into it and wants another from the range that she can modify the deco on.

A big thanks from the Mrs,
She was chuffed to receive your praise and the much coveted ‘Dogs danglies’ award from Race towers! :smiling4:


Sorry to of drifted off subject ever so slightly :thinking: :smiling5:.

More progress on the PzIII. A couple of hours at the bench saw the turret assembled.



So up next will be getting the supports on for the schürzen and fitting the fender supports that I missed out on one side for some reason.
I’ll probably keep the schürzen and mounts separate and put it all together once I’ve painted.

So it may now be safe to say that the kit itself is ok. Not the best I’ve built but certainly not the worst. Detail in general is good, fit of parts is reasonable, instructions are ok if not a little hard on the eye being in a small booklet, but that’s probably coz my eyes aren’t what the used to be.

Don’t Think I would class it as an easy build or particularly hard, somewhere in between.

Hope to get a bit more done tonight.
thanks for looking in :thumb2:

You should get your better half to pay more pics of her work. They're a kit in their own right.

Cheers Andrew, I’m looking forward to getting some paint on it soon.

Mrs B has done some other similar kits and has another on the go, so I’ll broach the subject with her. Although it cost me today as she found another kit she fancied doing.

These people that can’t stop buying kits.....I just don’t understand them :smiling5::smiling5::smiling5:
