Jolly good, old chap! A box full of pieces of plastic that have fallen out onto the table! Good show, what! ;D




Seriously; I hope this is the launching point of an enjoyable & impressive build! :thumbsup:

OK, up-gunned = good start! :thumbsup:

Are we going to see upgraded armour & power-plant, too, perchance? ;)

Good to see you here, Marty.

Is there going to be side-amour to protect the wheely bits? Zimmerit? I love that stuff.
Whatever.

 The 105 looks right on that chassis. As for the color scheme, Panzer grey was long gone by the time this
entered service, but that just means its the right thing to do for a WHif. ;)

I do like dark yellow green red-brown, but you can add a small variation like some details in white and black. :thumbsup:

Panzer Grey was the base coat on Panzers until 1943 when Afrika Korps Yellow was substituted.  Green replaced that in late 1944.   Panzer Grey was still in use but as a supplementary colour, rather than the base colour for camouflage until the war's end.
