Hahaha ... literally doing the same conversion here today (although yours is looking far more distinguished than mine).
Great stuff!

It’s a small world, Keith



Looking forward to seeing yours.

(Are you building the 222 or the 223? I’ve discovered that if you use the deployed radio antenna frame on the 223, the MG34 mounted in the turret won’t rotate past the forward uprights of the antenna. Epic fail...
Rubicon say this was true to reality, and that the MG gunner would swing the weapon up on its pivot to move it past the upright. But that’s obviously not possible with a glued-in-place MG on a 1/56 scale model...
Rubicon say to just bend the barrel once you’ve offered up and mounted the turret on the hull, so you can swing the MG to its forward orientation...
In fact, I’ve just removed the original MG34, will paint the whole turret assembly separately, mount it on the finished AFV, and then add a new spare MG34 barrel from the Perry set - which is a better moulded piece anyway).

Just in case you’d encountered the same problem

[Keith]

Yep - making the 223 as a tribute to the Tamiya kit.
I left the mg out until it’s all painted because I’m using hairspray and all sorts of other nonsense.

The A/C commander looks fantastic.  Apart from the lovely colouring in, I really like the way he wears his cap with a rakish tilt.  Very characterful.

[Duff]

Fantastic work. 

[Helen]

Nice work Richard. Full of character you have created.

Love kit bashing myself.

Cheers,

Helen

That fella looks great, sir.
Proper good, he is.
 

Not sure what I find more disturbing: The spike up his jacksie or you saying 'obvs'....
