Cheers Marco mushty . Today I have been all over the place on this  . To start off, rather than painting the clear parts after paint, I decided to paint the front, back and sides with Vallejo Panzer Aces no.309, Periscope colour and mask the area that remains clear. Don't know if we'll see much of the periscope colour later, but I thought it was worth trying out  . After that, I sorted the RB Gun Barrel and the Dragon gun mount out and, did a quick dry fit to see how it looks . Then the radiators and cooling fans were the primed and sprayed with Tamiya Hull Red XF-9. When dry, which should be soon, I'll give them a dirty wash and maybe throw some dusty pigments over these and call them done .    |

This is coming together nicely Paul, question : is it a MG34 in the ball mount?

Not much today, just a little work on the engine deck . I'm waiting for some Aber Photoetch to arrive, so I can finish the grills. The kit PE is wrong and won't work on this version  |

Great work so far Paul.
Some of these Dragon kits are still very good, all you need to do is work around the instructions, I don't know how it stands along the Meng kits.
How are the markings / decals ? Are you planning a small dio for this one ?

Cheers John . The instructions on this one are quite good, as for decals and markings, well I don't know yet. Probably I shall go for something inside Germany towards the end of the war . A small base is still in consideration, not sure yet though  |
