This will mean that you can apply white spirit washes without having to worry about the paint. Also means that you don't have to apply a varnish coat before weathering, so, yes, good idea!

Sav.
That was the plan, but i got lured into unknown territory of WEM enamels.

Now im rebuilding the scopes- they will look more real like. ;-)

The base of the main scope. Sheet styrene 0,5 mm drilled, and wires inserted. After the glue set i sanded the bottom smooth with styrene, and top to required length of the bolts.


I received the cross for the display plank. It is the second one- first disapeared at post, but thanks to PZG they sent replacement free of charge.

Hope noone will feel offended by the foto. It will only be used for display purpose.

I think that as modellers no of us would be offended by a photo of an iron cross, it is after all an historical item no different to the U-Boats, planes, tanks etc, that we build!

Also, do you have 1/72 scale fingers?

Sav.
