Really great actually. That what I used before the AK stuff.

Thanks Rob for your kind heads up. I’ve actually used a product similar to this for years with great success doing all sorts of camouflage patterns. Unfortunately I’ve return to Richmond for the holidays and forgot my can in Woodstock. I do love how it flattens itself in the can after use, lol!!

Ordered some AK camouflage plastic putty for laying down camouflage lines on my 251!!!

It’s a beauty I must say. It’s been a bit finicky especially the suspension pieces but overall nothing that couldn’t be handled. I do wish the instructions had some written notes next to each section/subassembly to further clarify some of the more confusing aspects.

Definitely will. It’s a beautifully detailed engine. Even has decals!!!

Lovely job on the motor. I’m getting ready to build up my 1/16 motor.

Haven’t notice much of that on this kit. It’s pretty clean and clean up has been pretty minimal so far.

Today I’m feeling a bit better. At least I have some energy but not much. I hope you feel better soon also.

I’ve had all my boosters my last a few weeks before leaving for Portugal. Evidently there’s a new strain making itself known in the EU and that what I had. I can’t imagine what it would have been like without my vaccinations!

Wow 4 times!!! That has to be a record!!! This is my first and I hope last. Thus experience has been awful!!

I’m so pissed off!!! How could this happen? One initial and seven booster vaccinations since 2020 and look what I returned from my Portuguese vacation with!!!! No wonder I was feeling so bad!!! Okay now what?? As recently as February, a positive rapid test would’ve meant five days of isolation, away from work, school, and/or other obligations that involve going out in public. Not anymore. In March, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its COVID isolation guidelines based on symptoms, not time since testing positive. The guidelines shifted in part to match those of other common respiratory viral illnesses, including the flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The CDC now says you’re cleared to resume normal activities when the following are both true for at least 24 hours: Your symptoms are getting better overall You haven’t had a fever (and aren’t using fever-reducing medication) Bottom line: If you’re sick, stay home. If your symptoms persist, you may end up isolating for five or more days after all, but you’ll be doing your part to protect your loved ones, coworkers, and others in your community from infection. Damn it………

Yeah that is unfortunate, lol!!!

Started assembling the front suspension in step 7!! Talk about fiddly!!! Especially the mounting brackets that attach the front axles!! Fortunately Andy’s Hobby Warehouse YouTube video came to my rescue!!

Thanks Kev. Tamiya makes 4 variants of this kit. I have all 4. Well 3 with this build. The Sdkfz is a great kit also. I’ve never met a Tamiya kit I haven’t liked.

Really a gem of a kit despite its age. The tracks are rubber however they fit nicely and with paint and weathering they look very nice.
