In the evening I evaluate the pictures of the result. Not bad! Unfortunaly I've run out of time to finish it this year.

In the run to airbrush the Marder II my eye meets the Landsverk that I was lucky too find a couple of years ago. Ton Rijnberk is about to bring a new version. Why don't I check this with the recently found information and update it to be able to be spray painted. Tuns out the original builder was not very skilled with CA-glue and also placed a few items incorrectly. Most surprisingly: it has pig's tails all around! So I added and repaired some things. The tower is to narrow and the commanders hatch is the one that the Irish M38's have. The Dutch where one piece. It's a magnificent modell in those days and still very good today.
