Well the messed up thumb
Has healed up nicely except for the bit that was totaly mullered its gone all quasi modo the lump doesn't hurt isn't dead tingles like a burn when touched but is right where you want to hold parts between finger and thumb making life very difficult.
Still the stalingrad thing i started pre thumb the ferdinand built post thumb .
Fantastic little kit from Zvezda loads of detail snap fit (I still glue) and the way they do the tracks is way in front of the rest. All the cables and tools I paint on the spru and fit prior to weathering not much else to say about this one just Well worth every penny ,paint job more than one colour havent done one for ages so could be interesting.
The little spg is a mirage hobby kit nice and clean a few round peg square hole probs but nothing that wasn't expected. All other construction problems were caused by myself , in my defence I will say the instructions aren't all that but when a part doesn't fit so you hack it till it does only to find you've built the previous wrong never mind no damage done.
Only disappointment was the tracks single length rubber would have preferred link and length. Got them down OK even a bit if sag nice.
All good now for primer(both) so clear the table next and bring on the paint will report back when done always think you don't geta feel for them untill primed.
