Update ::
Academy M1151 w/ LiveResin Update : Working on the last weapon system of the RWS.
This small part below, is missing. I'll keep working on it. But it's sad since it's such a good looking Weapon System
Academy / Legend Magach 7 C :: Working on the turret... Instructions are quite messy, a little hard to follow, find parts, etc..
Anyway, I also painted the Merkava tracks I will use for this one... After all the work on this... I recommend getting the Academy Magach 7 kit instead..
Dragon Panther II :: Clear Coat on top hull.
Trumpeter Grasshopper :: Started working on the small turret
I also gave a coat of Matt Black on Panzer III N tracks.
And the M1127 ::
I ran into some problems here, the instructions are fine, the masks work but... - The wiper is very,very very fragile.. I broke it and despite that it's too big for the windscreen. - I couldn't get a correct position to close it up, the gaps were everywhere, top, left and right side... It was all too fragile so I ended up removing the clear part with the masks. - A recommendation : As soon as you get all the holes needed, close up the top and lower hull before starting to add all those parts, it's much easier to work without the risk of damaging things when closing everything.

Small update ::
M1127 - Finished all the little things missing
This part only had one small plastic rod to hold on, so it would be dangling and eventually fall off, so I improvised with two 0,6 mm wires. Should I leave it like this ? place it on the top maybe with all the rest of the stowage maybe ?
Anyway, it's ready for Primer.

I think after a few washes and some oils I will manage to get some different tones on the Dunkelgelb

Let's see how that will work, I think it will look well with painted turret with camo, that will have a nice contrast. Tomorrow more filters and washes.
And also worked on the wheels of Panzer III N from Tamyia :
Many builds are now almost at the same stage, BMP-1P, Panther II, Panzer III N,M3A3 and now Trumpeter M1127.
