Blimey...........thats 20 more steps than my lorry and Flak!! ..................do like the colour guide and extra `D` option tho I was thinking maybe 30 to 35 steps, and just out of curiosity I decided to read it to anticipate what I needed to work... For a few moments, ... this could have become a Shelf Queen... but... nah, so far it's been a pleasure building this little kitten
Yup, the color guide is very nice.
Tristar Panzer 38 Ausf.B w/ interior kit.... they don't have it , you just have to guess....

Small update ::
Dragon IDF M50 Sherman
Bronco Gaz 69 M, I had some problems here fixing A14 tube, the fixation point is maybe 1,5 mm , I ran out of CA Glue, that might be the only solution... but also ... it won't be visible unless you keep the bonnet open and remove the engine... another Bronco Super Detailing Fix... I think I'll leave it out.
Dragon Panzer I, running gear... still a lot to be done here.
Takom Bergepanther,
Second sidewall is done, extremely detailed but a good detailing not Bronco detailing...
Then I jumped off to the tricky part... the instructions should be more precise here...
These E21 should be fixed but with a little margin to move...
The holes on the G12 parts have to be aligned perfectly with E21 bars otherwise the side walls won't align.
As you can see the instructions are vague on this whole process, anyway it took me some time to align everything, but I got there eventually ... That's it for today.

Meng... well I don't know the main differences between Takom and Meng versions, they are for sure ahead of the ICM version. But I'm pretty sure it will extra detailed too.

Takom went crazy and did Ausf.D, Ausf.A and Ausf.G versions....

Very nice detail in this kit, reminds me of the Miniart kit I did This full interior is quite detailed, but I think I'll leave the wooden box out, or at least opened, otherwise nothing of this hard work will be visible. Which Miniart kit ?

Small update ::
Takom Bergepanther,
Details on Step 6
A question.... Should I paint this before closing up the other side of the lower hull ?
Started some sub assemblies too ..
Dragon Panzer I , applying filters on the lower hull, after this some light wash and dirt before adding wheels & tracks, The small one from Ammo Mig, isn't good, the amount of pigment / paint is solid, I tried to break it down and then kept shaking now is simply thinner and small nuggets of pigment, like blue chocolate chips floating with thinner....
17cm Grlle Tiger from Trumpeter, gave a wash before putting the transmission...
KP Su-7 BM, I tried on some Primer to see what needs to be done with the extra putty work load....
GAZ 69 M, working on the small details... there's a lot... Bronco detailing...
Miniart T-44, still painting the last wheels.
And that's it for today.

Awesome work there John . I'd say yes to the paint question. Get as much painted as possible before closing up, then you can add the weathering when the hull is all together. That way you'll only weather the parts that actually got used and not, some areas that didn't get battered

That tail sure looks a whole lot better with the primer on, I remember those canyons....
