While waiting for chains ,( did again try to fit the very fine and fragile PE chain but gave up after one escaped and another broke into assorted bits )

So added wire to the conduite on the lighting and horn

Not sure if its too big???

Hi Steve, you ok, not seen you about much recently

Jim kindly pointed me at a set of Aber PE chains, so bought them. Stronger than the kit ones so



Not great and afraid to breathe on them

With the chain threatening to take off at any time, shaking hands and shot nerves, finally got there

Have ordered what i hope is fine chain, that will hang and look i hope much better on the coming Ausf B

Assuming its from a spray can ?

 

[BattleshipBob]

No, 50/50 with a roller, sorry airbrush

I find Mr Surfacer easy to thin and spray but does pong lol

Well you did a sterling job then. Don't think my asthma could cope with that, even with a mask. The metal primer is ok as I'm not spraying it.
