When I look at a PE set, I divide it up into 4 categories - Must use! - Try to use. - Would be nice to use - You must be joking!

Sounds like sage advice.When I look at a PE set, I divide it up into 4 categories - Must use! - Try to use. - Would be nice to use - You must be joking!

As far as I can remember yeah ,Genera modern Army question.
5 gallon fuel cans, are they generally green on colour?
5 gallon water cans were always black, is that still the case?
Thanks Chris. Nothing has changed then!As far as I can remember yeah ,
although I'll bet somebody has more up to date info..
Good reminder, I remember seeing sand coloured cans on Jackals now you mention it!!Chances are there’s also tan/sand-coloured ones, but really modern (> 1990s) stuff isn’t really my thing so I could be wrong.
Cutting them off with a knife is much quickerThe time consuming bit is filing off the bits of sprue.
Personally, I would wait until the model is finished, but leave off the wheels and tracks, plus everything that gets in the way of fitting them (like the side skirts). Build those separately and paint them together with the rest of the model, then fit the wheels and tracks; after that, hold the side skirts against the model and see where you need to glue them, then scrape the paint off in those areas. After glueing the skirts on, you may need to touch up the paint a little.I'm guessing now might be the time to start painting the hull as most of the main parts are in place now
Tip 1: Build the tracks while you work on the rest of the model, not after. That is: clean up some track parts, do a little work on the rest of the suspension, build some links, add more parts to the turret, etc. This keeps you from getting too bored with the tedious work on the tracks.the dreaded tracks. Methinks I may be working on the tracks for a little while!!!

any hints or tips or comments at this stage would be most appreciated!!!
I recall fuel containers always green, plastic water containers either green or black. Possible that sand-coloured containers exist now!Genera modern Army question.
