Plenty of decals with the blitz but on a bit of research they generally didn't have many markings, only really the very early units. Decided to leave it au naturale except for the plates. You get dozens of number plate options, which is pointless as theres no way you can read them.

I'm going assume the back bumper reads "Don't follow me or you'll end up in Stalingrad!"

That’s a fine model of WL-1660, nicely dusty.

I feel your pain. I got fed up with all the various options and just bought multi bottle packs of superglue online, they still gum up, the nozzles get blocked, but the glue is still recoverable by decanting it into the next bottle.

That's a nice finish on the Blitz Tim. What grey are you using?

Vallejo London Grey, over black undercoat, dry brushed with same with a bit of white, then drybrushed buff for the dust. Seems to work well for Gerry greys. I think my PzIII is the same.

Ta. I might give that try with the airbrush when I get a session going for the PzIII & PzIV.

Errrr, shouldn't the Zweibrucken Regiment have blue coats (and rather more majestic colours)?

Not in the first half of the SYW. They then adopted blue coats with crimson facings and very fancy colours, changing again to yellow facings before the end of the war. Mine are for Rossbach, so have a typically French appearance. I'll be doing a German brigade later, with the La Marck, Royal Pologne and St Germain Regiments in blue uniforms with fancy flags.
