Very Good Teacher

Thanks for showing your excellent work. You are very skilled in model building and have a good eye for detail. Your work look better than most plastic models.
Please continue to post you work, you are also a very good teacher.

Have you considered building the T-34 offered. It would look great next to the Panzer.

Best Regards,
R. Williams

Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments and am really glad that you enjoyed following this build report. This was really a fun model to build.

Have you considered building the T-34 offered. It would look great next to the Panzer.
Yes, RGW the T-34 is toward the top of my list...It's a fine looking model but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it...Maybe I'll save for the next "free" model contest.
All I know is that I'm tired of seeing grey - My next build is defiantly more colorful.:mrgreen: Right now, I'm working on a Stewart Honey tank (another freebie) I'll post that build thread here when I get back from vacation in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned.

can you tell me witch glue did you used?
Snake7, For the most part I used plain old Elmer's white glue on the parts with glue tabs (BTW, I cut off all of the original tabs and added my own where necessary). I apply the glue using a tooth pick or straight pin, spreading it out very thin (similar to a postage stamp) onto both surfaces. For the tricky parts that require butt joints (tubes and cylinders) I use Aleen's tacky glue (gold bottle) or even the very tacky (purple bottle). For little bits of wire I generally use a gel type CA.
For laminating pieces to heavy board stock I use 3M #77 spray adhesive.
This stuff is the best. A little goes a long way - a can will last forever. Don't skimp on this. It's worth every penny. I just don't trust any other brand of spray adhesive.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Kevin
