Logistics for Germany. Finished the Unimog trucks, the trailers have been finished for several months. Most of the trailers were 3-D printed. One kitbashed.

Put three of these antennas on the hull.
Dang traffic ….. but a few of us can watch T.V. since we have our rabbit ears.

Finished with this group…. Two turrets needed barrel repairs and another doesn’t have a stem for the hull. Might look for a magnet to glue on the serve as the stem, or glue it to a hull with mine rollers. If you have an idea, please share it. Thank you.

Short piece of thin metal rod, drill hole in bottom of turret, drop of cya no a cry late in the hole, insert rod. There's your stem.

PG, your comment got me thinking….. danger, … danger.
My stem is off center by 0.53 of a millimeter.
This item to the right is where I cut my stem from.
Rectangular stem, cut corner down some.
In this picture as you can see, the turret is seated to the port side by just over 1/2 mm.
Turkish armor.

As always, quantity & quality. And instructive as well. I thought the Turks had Leo 2 A4s, but are the ones in the background 2A6?
