I've worked a little today.
Gave a 2nd coat on the M1130 and painted the shield for the .50 Cal for the M1131.
And also finished the weathering on the SA-8 Gecko, painted the rear view mirrors and added the wipers too.
This one is done.... and then I found the decal sheet, I got the 4 decals on it. Will let it dry and tomorrow I'll dust it a little. But I consider this one finished now !!!
I'm quite happy for finishing a Shelf Queen . Finally..

I like the weathering effects you've achieved, it really sets the model off nicely.

After the washes yesterday I used pigments today, and I ended up as I wanted.

The dust on the lower hull and some light dry brushing on some parts of the Radar Dome and that was it I didn't want to over do it.

I'm very, very happy finishing this one, I think the dust turned out ok. I left the head light guards out, I damaged one of them, the PE was too thin to repair.
Anyway, some work today too..
Stryker M1131 from Trumpeter, painting the rear view mirrors and jerrycans. Just need to finish these items and start painting the stowage and antennas.
Meng's Panther Ausf.A , I added the Mg42, toolbox and a jerrycan. Fixed the side skirts, added front shackles that were missing, also one of the other tools.
And also some more chipping... and that's it. This one is finished too, I started this one on the 2022-23 thread at the end of 2022, after waiting for some AM tracks, but finally I got my Panthers all done.
Ausf. D from Dragon. Ausf. F from Dragon. Ausf. G from Tamyia Ausf.A from Meng. Artillery Observation from ICM
JagdPanther from Tamyia.
just need to get Takom's Bergepanther finished so I can switch kittens... Tiger's will be next.
Another Finished build !

This one took awhile to be finished , I highly recommend these Meng Panthers, I did a few Dragon's in the past, but this one is easier to work, instructions are perfect, color profiles are better, full of goodies. The only negative thing are the tracks, get some AM ones or you will go crazy.
