i finally finished my german radio car 223, i added leather straps using masking tape, photo etch buckles, and guaze pad to roll up into a camo net. the only thing i have trouble looking at is the string they gave for the tow cable seems to be fraying after painting (does anyone have that problem or a better alternative) overall im happy with the work being it was only my 4th AFV, each one seems to get better and better.
Also for the next project i was wondering if any of you guys had any advice on two. Im thinking of the CMK Chezch Master Pzkpfw 35 command version, or the DML early Hetzer that i was able to find off EBAY. any advice on the two let me know.
Congrats CTrill on finishing your armored car. As for the Hetzer, its a pretty nice kit, but the tracks are another matter. You might want to buy some am tracks since they are indy tacks in the DML kit. Looking forwrd to pics.
yeah the M-10 is coming along, something im doing along with others, i had to wait a while for some parts to come in and its really just a thing that i have to be in exactly in the right mood for certain things, i dunno im just a strange lad. basically when i get frustrated with something i just put it down for a few days and go on to something else for a while.
I run the string I use for tow cables trough a pool of thin CA and then let it cure, attach the eyes then paint. It kind of gives them a bit of spring like they are steel cable; the only problem is you can’t bend it into tight radiuses with out cracking unless you are real careful, but the string won’t fuzz up when painted. Hope that helps, I can’t wait to see your 223, I want some ideas b/c I want to do a 222 soon.
