One of my friends was wanting to know what i’ve been working on lately, SPGs of coarse[;)]
Bronco’s Hungarian Srinyi II:
Bronco’s Bishop:
Both have been in dry dock waiting for the oil washes to dry this past week and I was just fixin to go spray on a Buff dust coat to be followed by a matt coat for pigments and chalks to cling to.
What’s next? More SPGs [:D]

Good stuff Tony,Mr SPG Have fun !!
It seems my mind is turning to SPG’s as well,I recently aquired DML’s new T-28,Stug III with zimm, Jagdpanzer IV with the mesh screens.and Trumpeter’s E-10.I seem to have caught the bug.
Wow Tony I’m speechless these are two that I strongly considered adding to the stash and your work is one step closer to convincing me to buy these kits. Just a quick one, do they both have Indy tracks, I hate those rubber things, excellent work as usual Tony. Terry
Yes sir they both have indy tracks Terry but you know me and my love affair with Friuls.[Y]
Tojo, SPGs do get under your finger nails and between your teeth.[:O]
Thanks Guys
Tony lee
Thanks Tony, yep we know your love of fruils, and not forgetting that etch is your other vice, LOL. Terry
BUSTED[whstl]

Oh that bishop is incredible! Gotta get me one.whose a good source and is the limber a separate kit?
Good seeing you busy Tony. I really like that Bishop with the great weathering.
Raualduke, Bronco released the first Bishop without the limber which I have and i bought the limber from a 25pdr kit separate. Since then Bronco released the Bishop with the limber that’s about $11.00 more than just the Bishop alone kit.
I think I got my kit from Sprue Bros.com,it’s been awhile back.
Thanks Catman[Y]

Very nice work! [Y]

Definitely off the beaten path. Great looking stuff!
I really like the different colors on the Bishop, with that green showing through the sand, and the limber being a darker shade of sand. Looking ofrward to the finish photos.
So are you doing the mesh skitts for the Zrinyi? I read that these are a pain with the seperate u-channel frame and them the mesh with the mounting brackets. But after seeing your photo-etched skills over the years, I am sure you will make it look easy.
I too have this Bishop and it intimiated the heck out of me, with about 900 parts, a full interior and a 30 page instruction sheet.
Mike and Joe
It’s such a great kit you have no choice but to try and out do yourself, Thanks.
Tim
The Zrinyi IIs i’ve seen built where the late model(fancy) and just to be different I thought I would build the early model (plain). You get the options for both in the kit.
The only thing that might be considered a bear is the gun,lots of small parts for it but the rest is easy enough. Fit was great and the clean up of parts not a big deal at all.
The instructions show option parts but don’t tell you which to use so you need to find as much reference as you can find.
Go for it guys you’ll enjoy the experience.[t$t]
Tony lee
I will got out on a limb here and predict that Tony will complete at least 2 SPG builds in 2013. [:P]
Hi pvt mutt, thanks for your reply ,since my last post I found the bishop with limber on amazon ,I seem to have better luck with their search engine for some reason. Anyway,67 bucks for both, does that sound about right?
Yeah it does RDuke, 65 to 70 dollars is the going rate plus postage.
Bill don’t count your chickens before they hatch.[;)][:D]
Tony lee
Thank you sir
good work all of you guys are awesome
Nice work Tony,
I’ve seen a few of the Bishop’s now and you’ve done a great job on that one of yours so far - I’ll be VERY interested to see how this turns out.
I was just reading about the Hungarian Srinyi in a magazine today and I thought how impressive it looked.
I seriously might have to look into obtaining one now I’ve seen your effort - soooooperb! [B]
How did you find the kit itself? Instructions all ok? Any PE? Good mouldings?
Ben [t$t]
Killer stuff, Tony. Love that Bishop!
