Progress…

Added stowage to most of the half tracks.

Added jerry cans of three different types on the rear left side of some vehicles.

Used the plastic cans from the Battlefront sprue. You get one can per sprue. I had three.

Added Peter Pig jerry cans on a frame to about four.

Added pairs of metal single PP jerry cans also.

The stowage is from the metal sprue in the late war box set. You four per sprue and you get two sprues.

Well there you have it.

Also spray painted the tracks and wheels.. now primed have to hand paint them before glueing.  That however… as they say….is another story.

After over a year of having the two boxes of Pz Grenadiers in storage and recently purchasing a Pz GrenadierKompanie HQ box I am now going to start on finishing them.

I have a box of midwar PzG adn a box of late war PzG.  I intend to mix these butam unsure if i will mix vehicles and figures within the units or have a platoon of each separate sets.

After finding all the tracks and wheels of which some where los(but now found) I have laid them out.

Of interest is that the kHQ box has plastic tracks,mgs,wheelsetc but my two platoon boxs have the metal ones. I am unsure if the current box sets are still the same.

Also I purchased an individual HT when Toyworld Dunedin was selling the stand off cheap.  So I have one extra HT now. That is because the HQ box is so excellent it has three HT’s one for the Panzer shreck team too.

All  three box sets and plus one HT.  The HQ are not painted.

As you can see above I have already painted two platoons with an airbrush. Mr Light and I had a good session airbrushing about a year ago.  We were both reasonable happy with the results. And so many tanks and  so many tanks and HT’s .. what was it 21 Tanks and eight HT’s, 6 Marder II’s, 12 trucks,4 jeeps,etc etc.. would have been in excess of 40  vehicles.

Here is a nice surprise in the HQ box, 1 HT has stowage moulded onto it.

One is a standard clean vehicle.

One has track armour on the front armour plate and a panzershreck on the weapons rack in the interior. Cool or waht? (said in german accent?)

So there you have it…  some nice surprises and some cool work to look forward to seeing progress on.

However don’t forget… ther are Panthers and elephants in the jungle just waiting to pounce out on the next blogs!!!
