Hook down, wheels down... call the ball Posts: 4,864 Group: Admin Member #12 Joined: August 25, 2009	Its a cracking kit, like you say Ratch. I built one a couple of years ago, I hope this proves to be of inspiration/useful to you...

All the best Andy S.

Advanced Member Posts: 558 Group: IPMS Member Member #17 Joined: September 4, 2009	I remember that Mike, and very nice too At the moment I'm undecided whether to stick with Rommel's Greif, or I have another reference from Libya with a bit more Panzergrau showing through the Gelbbraun

Member Posts: 12 Group: Members Member #126 Joined: November 30, 2009	The latter option would be a good excuse to give the 'Salt' and 'Hairspray' techniques a go mate. Just a thought, all the best Andy S.

Advanced Member Posts: 558 Group: IPMS Member Member #17 Joined: September 4, 2009	And there's more... With the main part of the assembly complete, it was time to decide on the finish I've gone with the Rommel option It would be a shame not to use the figure Hopefully, the Gelbbraun overspray is dense enough in places yet allows the Panzergrau to show through in others
