Although the end of the GB has come & gone, I'm still working on this one.

What's been holding me up is the doors to the equipment lockers. Dragon provide very detailed brass doors, but no styrene alternative. The problem is that the latch & padlock detail are tiny! A neurosurgeon would struggle with these parts. Here's an example

But I soldiered on & ended up here

That's the vast majority of hull parts added. There's a few sticky-out bits left, but I'll do them later so I don't knock them off while painting.

Thanks for looking
Patrick

Thanks Moni, I've got the camo painted now - from what you've said in other posts, I think you'll like it

[monica]

oh nice will look forward to seeing that,

And here's the camo! Not an official scheme, but I liked the idea of stripes with a slight 'splinter' effect.

The base colour is Vallejo Model Air 71.027 Light Brown (!) & the red-brown is Tamiya XF-68 NATO brown.

Masking an armoured vehicle isn't easy, so there's a few areas that need a touch up.

Thanks for looking

Thanks Moni, I remember you said that you liked the red-brown over yellow scheme... I think it was on a Panzer IV.

It's not often I go off track with German camo, nor is it that usual for me to use acrylics!

makes me happy that you used it,
