Very nice progress Paul !! What colors did you use for chipping & wash ?

Cheers John . For the Elfenbein interior colour I mixed Tamiya white with buff (8 to 1 mix), the scratches are the Primer colour. I used hairspray and then carefully chipped away the white with a toothpick and wet brush. The wash around the edges, bolts, handles etc is a mix of Mig Dark Wash P220 and Mig Black Wash P281 . I thinned this down with Abteilung 502 Fast Drying Thinner, this the only thinner that doesn't turn Mig and AK Washes/FIlters grainy

The gun breech looks amazing, Paul, and perfect amount of wear and tear.

Cheers muchly dear fellows Pete, you can't beat these newer kits, simple build and the fit is awesome Today I painted the red primer on the insides of the running gear . This needs to done on all Panzer III and IV variantes. If you leave it off, it'll be very visible and that is something we don't want .

That is great to know about the wheels, as I am woefully ignorant about in's-and-outs of Panzer details. They look great, by the way!

Thank you kindly Ian . The fact that the wheels are relatively small in diameter and the track guards high, it just gives you a good look at the wheels including the inner side of the rear ones
