Don't know if I'll finish in time.. but gonna try!!! LOL too bad I couldn't turn 'single' for a couple of weeks then it would be a breeze!

First time trying Putty Zim... used R&J Zimmer It Rite.. the stuff I had was kind of old. .so kind of hard.. last couple sessions I baked it in the oven a lil prior.. that helped!... Don't know how happy I'll be.. but I look at it as a good learning experience!!

Lord Blue Fin,
Don't panic,just build smoothly and smartly.It does look like the rt side idler mount angles up.Or is taht a visual illusion?
Will you be putting trowel marks in the zimm on the lower hull?

Lord FishMan,

This looked very convincing, I had tried the zimmer on my Pz IV L/48 as well, I must say it was quite fun.

God I wish I could get back to the lowly world of armor modeling again.... they so muddy.

Zimmerit is looking pretty good, Charlie. Not bad for a first crack at putty. Jagdpanzer IV's are cool vehicles anyhow !!

I tried the Squadron Green Putty once on an old Tamiya Tiger I kit with not-so-good results. That Tiger kit fought the battle of Kursk (in my back yard) and lost to a "Soviet anti-tank rifle" :-)

I was thinking of trying the Tamiya Polyester Putty and see how that works out

Anyhow, keep up the good work !

Cheers !!

Hi Alpen, Polyester works much much better.

Dave.. Polyester looks cool.. on the MMIR Tiger book.. is it easy to keep the tools clean?.. that's one plus on the R&J. .just keep the tools soaked in water and they stay cleaner.. but that Polyester looks like it's a breeze to work with!
