Well, my get up and go has finally returned. I got back to work on this last night and today…
I added the brass PE screens to the engine deck and cover on the turret top for where a S-mine launcher was supposed to go on early 1944 MAN production Panthers
then I added most of the little fiddly bits around the driver and bow gunners hatches, so I could paint those areas before I install the periscopes that I bought.
and lastly I removed the reinforcement bar on the cleaning rod tube that was not present on early 1944 MAN production Panthers
I’ll have more to post in a few days…
