HubertB Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 The forecast for the newt two weeks in Portugal is overall sunny, with a risk of rain just on November 1st, and temps ranging between highs of 23 Celsius, and night lows around 15 Celsius. And we have good beers, but frankly, wine is better and with a much wider choice . Enjoy your trip. Hubert 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphSarc Posted November 10 Author Share Posted November 10 Okay back to the build after our return from Portugal. Spent some time today assemble the drivers side suspension. Glad I had the passenger side as a reference! Oh and PS if you have the opportunity to visit Portugal and Spain please do. We absolutely feel in love with both countries and look forward to a return visit soon. Okay back to building, lol!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately Andy’s Hobby Warehouse YouTube video came to my rescue!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 Some nice progress there Ralph. Too bad Mando isn't in the same scale. You could have him drive the Sdkfz! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphSarc Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 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……… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerWomble Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 That's a lot of obvious injector pin marks to fill on a $150 kit, unless they get hidden later on . 😢 Edit - Trumpeter original tooling . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t notice much of that on this kit. It’s pretty clean and clean up has been pretty minimal so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 The Trumpeter kit is completely different from the Das Week one. The Das Werk kit is made in cooperation with Takom, just like Andy's kits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
