    Thanks Chris, its part of the old collection that I ended up keeping, couldn't bring myself to get rid of it to make way for all the cored rounds so its there as an example of HESH.

    I cant do the stencils printed them off and tried cutting around them with my hobby knife its not happening , tried all different ways of cutting ,i have a very fine and very sharp knife but just cant get the lettering done ? Stumped.
    paint job and thats it .
    This is frustrating as hell lol. the wife is laughing (comment) of all the things you've done and built you cant do a bit of lettering , i can see the funny side .

    cheers frustrated Kenny

    Well it is "Anti-Armour" Dave so you can justify it on that score

    Hi Ken,
    the only advice I can give is not to give up mate,as they say practice makes perfect!,and maybe do it while the missus is out as I'm sure having the p**s taken out of you don't help mate

    Cheers
    Tony
