Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack

[Panzerwrecker]

Its nearing the time when the vehicle needs permenantly fixing in place so I’m gathering together all the stowage and accessories to get them painted and weathered. I have been guilty of rushing this step in the past so I’m really going to try and focus on treating each one as an individual project. so I may be some time......

I'm also after a suitably small chain (not PE) for the rear tow pintle. Any recommendations on where to source the smallest size link chain available as the PE stuff is often too flat and unconvincing?

Here are a few last few test fit snaps of it on the groundwork before the bodywork is fixed permanently to the chassis so I can get the stowage added.

Los,
the groundwork is stunning mate, as to the chain I make my own I twist the thinnest wire I have until i reach the tightness I require then gently flatten it with some pliers. IMHO it looks a lot better than etch chain.

I agree, PE chain can often look too flat

Little update report on painting the stowage items

It has all been base painted with Vallejo acrylics and I have started the weathering process with some MIG enamels. It took some time to whittle down the selection of items I had prepared but I’m now happy with how they are now positioned. All I have to do is remember how it all sits, get the oils out and add some refinement to it all before fixing in place.

Great work on the stowage, looks very realistic imho, well done ?

[scottie3158]

Outstanding it looks very natural.
