Thanks for the observation, I am changing them Regards! Rodolo

More updates! Camouflage and decals are ready!. For the camo I used: Vallejo / Model Air #71012, dark-green. Regards! Rodolfo

More updates: Before to airbrush the tracks and wheels I used Parafilm for cover the sides. Paint used: Vallejo #71056, black-grey. Now, airbrushed the rest of the armor with no protection on the tracks and wheel, the effect will be natural when I start the weathering, (only a small retouch in the wheels and track sides). Paint used: Vallejo #71028, sand-yellow; and the interior of hatches were painted with: AMMO MIG Interior Color, #A.MIG017, cremeweiss. Next step: Camo. Add the decals. Paint the tools and treat the tracks continuing the weathering assambling the side plates. Regards! Rodolfo

hello frieds! Thanks for your comments!. Really is easy, the arms of assemble it coming with great definition in order to glue to the hull. I need space for paint the tracks, with the plates added is not possible in a 90% (above) because the space is reduce. I can also comfortably paint the tools on the back, do it with the assembled plates is possible, but a bit uncomfortable. Regards! Rodolfo

I applied the Tamiya Fine Surface Primer, now I will wait some hours before to start the painting! Regards! Rodolfo

Thanks for the tips about the PE and tracks, In the past I worked with Friulmodel and are an excellent tracks too. Regarding the Easy Metal Tracks, maybe I will try in future! More updates! Finished the build work!. (the sides are not glued yet, first I will treat the tracks). Next step: I will apply a coat of Primer before to paint. Regards! Rodolfo

Thanks for your kind comments friends!. Yes, this is a good shortcut for treating the tracks. More updates! The Photoetched are very rigid (hard), but can be worked without probems. Tracks ready!, In the pic 4 I saw a desaligned track, but after of take the photo was arrenged. Regards! Rodolfo

Treating the tracks: 1) - cut the horizontal bars in order to give more space for the following step. 2) - Using a medium round (or round) tool file and filing along the tracks. Ready 1 sheet of 76 tracks in less than 3 minutes!, after of this photo only I retouched 3 tracks, really useful and quick!! Regards! Rodolfo

Thanks for your kind comments friends!. I would like to know also what the designers thought for add many pins Mounted the Air-intake Covers, the plate of vent oppening (compartment roof), driver vision port and headlights. Making holes to the Periscope gun sight and ready!. Regards! Rodolfo

Thanks Jeff, but no problem, I have patience , it's still tedious, before it was boring for me, but now I see it entertaining. Removing 10 bolts + i plate with bolts and to drill 2 holes in order to add the plate of vent oppening (compartment roof). Regards! Rodolfo

Hello friends! Past May 25/2019 I started my new Project: Dragon Stug III Ausf F, Sdk. Fz. 142/1. I will started to cleaning the drive wheels and idler wheels The instructions indicate that it is necessary to remove the simulated hatch line and fill a hole (in both sides). Ready, I filled the hole using Putty de Vallejo If you ir a beginner, you must be careful with the assembly of suspension arms because in the instruction sheet is inverted. Some pieces have an imperfections, but they were resolved using Putty of Vallejo. I added holes to the exhaust pipe with silencer. The rear part did not fit correctly, in order to arrange this, I used styrene into the chassis and filled with Putty of Vallejo on the out part The plate of air intake grid it came too big, for adjust into the rear it was necessary to cut the sides. The work with the chassis is ready. The plastic is a bit brittle, at the moment of sandering you must nedd more careful of the normal. Next step: The tracks, here you can see that it came with 2 marks of pin in each link. After of this tedious work I will return with more updates. I will use the old technic of the cutter, but finally I decided to continue the work with the hull and wait almost to final with the tracks. Regards! Rodolfo
