Got this little kit as a time filler whilst doing other stuff but decided to see just what I can do with it considering the size and number of parts. Pantherman

Wow, that's pretty basic. One A4 set of instructions for both builds !! Pantherman

Have fun!
As a kid, Airfix kits were tops; just choosing a kit with several months of allowance in my pocket was as much fun as building it!

I find this works well for german armor as it was the actual colour used I believe. It's great when it comes to chipping as you just need to scratch or rub over the top coats. I made it into an air version so much easier to spray on. Pantherman

Nice, hope you'll have a few shots of the chipping procedure... have not done that yet!
