First of the TK series, the First to Fight
TKS with 20mm canon, nothing much was done with this one, placed the
cannon at the correct place on the gun mantle, at 5 o'clock from center,
also started at placing the rivets on the sides, used Archer decals for
this, pretty easy to use but as with all rivets really boring to do and
Im glad the rest of the kit does have its rivet.
They
stock on pretty good, I made the surface wet and placed the rivets 1 by
1, to get the spacing right, wen dried it was fine, some spots I have
been testing it with Valleyo decal fixer and softener, not sure if the
fixer did anything but the softener worked nice to blend the film with
the model, I left some of the film on to give it some extra surface to
help stick.
thanks for watching

Just started with the S-model UE, I build it as a Indochina project of which 10 or so
where build pre WW2 and shipped to Asia and a couple more as the war
started, there are not that many pictures of this version but as it was a
pretty simple conversion, just a armored box with a MG sticking out, it
was not hard to build, during the war the Germans build similar
conversions and maybe I will use the other UE for that or do a tank destroyer version with a 6 pounder anti tank gun.
