I guess it is about time for an update again...
The halftrack itself went together without any problems, guess i am getting used to Dragonstuff

I had two figures left on the model I did when i restarted ..

Decided to do a bit of plastic surgery on them, to re-use them as radio operators in the M3..

And then, I noticed their heads were stikcing out above the sides....

Too much, they were sticking out too much... because the roof section, which was the reason I got this kit for this build, didn't fit anymore..

So I had to raise the roof a bit..

Doesn't look to bad, even if I do say so myself...

Just means I have this gap left to fill...

It has been a while since the last update, but it is the outdoor season.. so much less modelling going on...

Got the primer on, and then the base color..

And have got a good bit of color on the figures...

I will still have to make the cables to connect the operators' headsets to the radios..

Anyone any ideas on color for those radios? Leave them sand color or go for grey/green/black or something else?
Some detail pictures of some of the figures:
