    Thanks for the compliments guys glad you like it. This is my second day trying to fit the clear parts on the canopy, what a nightmare. It is a total pain to get them all in place, but unless i get it done and glue the front and rear parts to the fuselage, i cannot start the paintwork.

    Thanks all you guys, Ivan, i need some references on how to paint my kubel. I gather from the photos i have seen and also the built models that a number of them were in panzer grey and then outer surfaces overpainted in sand. Can i do that? It will look great with two colours and besides, the chipping can reveal the grey underneath. Should look great.
