Finally. After ages longer than I thought this'd take, it's just about good enough for me. So I'm declaring this...done.
A huge thanks goes to Jim & Hanson for his kind donation of his Panzer IV Dragon tracks...without which this would have ended up either on fire or (at some point) become a diorama wreck! Oh, and thank God for Superglue!!
This is my first model in 35 years, so many thanks to all who've given me the motivation to keep going sometimes against the odds with 1970's (poor) fitting & my general lack of experience!
I will at some point put this in a diorama with my little PAK36 that I have waiting in the wings. Not sure I'm capable of anything built from scratch...but after years of decorating I'm fairly handy with household filler! :smiling5:
I've used real mud for the mud effect, covering it with Tamiya 'Clear'. It's come out pretty much as I'd hoped which is all I can ask. The airbrushing came out quite rough, but I've since (I think) managed to get the hang of it a bit better for a smooth(er) finish in the future.
