    The ScharnHorst 1/200-Operation Paderborn

    Not a big update but small tedious update to the cranes.Trumpter did not have anything for crane operator to work from so I fabricated it from some 1/350 PE and some crank handles from the search lights in 1/200 for the steering wheels.All I need to do now is paint and rig the cables.
