Nah Gerry, when you are working with something smaller than a BB you can expect a couple of "launches" off the end of your tweezers....I have had to adjust my attitude a little when working this small. Glad you stopped by and thanks for commenting.

Hi Lee, Those "Red worms" are some ugly critters but the fish love 'em. Thanks for dropping in Pard!.

OK. The fill spout and shutoff valve are secure and the hose is glued into its final position. I think that this is ready for paint. I'll probably wait till Thursday and shoot it while SWMBO is at the market....she doesn't like the noise of my compressor when it kicks on during my painting sessions. While studying the pics of the real vehicles, it appears to me that the convertible version (on the 1st page of this post) is painted in panzer grey, while the closed cab version is perhaps dunkelgelb. Does anyone else see it that way? Looking for thoughts, opinions, rumors......just wondering. Rick H.

I'd go w/PG & what's w/funky hitch?:smiling: Excellent conversion. Fits right in w/existing crowd. PaulE

Hi Paul, just haven't nipped it off yet......sort of got overlooked with all the other stuff going on. BTW did you see the shot of this crate on the first page? Don't know if the photo is washed out or if the vehicle is a light color or just really dusty.......Rick H.

[minitnkr]

Yeah, I thought just over exposed photos.

Hi Rick
That's a great looking model. Must have been frustrating at times but I'm sure a nap helped :rolling: Looking forward to the paint.

Thanks Mike.....it's been a fun little build and I learned a couple of things along the way.

Here it is in Panzer Grey....I'll give it a day to dry and then start the detail painting. Rick H.
