Freshly painted
Black under coat, German Grey overall painted on the body and Flat White for the winter camouflage
If you noticed, there's only 3 barrels on the main gun. Reason being one of it was eaten by one of my cats and ended up in the litter box!!!
big old workhorse!!!
waiting for weathering... the Sd.kfz 250 (next to it..) is one of my restoration project...
next... washes, dry brushing and some small detailing...
Grill was cut into desired sizes and fitted with white glue...
unlike the instruction given, this create more realistic effect
the barrel was sacrifice from my 20mm flak gun..painful but necessary
Ready for the minor surgery
aligned and glued..
mount up and ready for the next stage...
To be continue with finish model... will update soon... stay tuned...
Weathering...
Weathering...
My favorite brand... 3 main colors. A tube can lasts you about 3 years.
Dirty...
the washes need to be toned down...
one round of dusting or misting with top coat color...
getting there....
now the gun...
received the same treatment...
too much?...
mounted to compare the difference on weathering effect between the body and gun... just making sure it blends well...
1 round of dusting please...
Be back shortly...
Ahhh... coffee break...
