Appreciated Gaz, got to add all the Schürzen on, I may well get them all prepared and then spray them individually so the hull can be finished……this one has been a challenging in knowing what to do next……the amount of spares in the box is amazing similar to Dragon…… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Phil, Schurtzen wearing vehicles provide a lot of extra challenges. All relating to weathering and when you should assemble. Personally... I don't like gluing after painting. But like biplane models, these demand it unless you have no weathering plans between schurzen and tank. Tanks always look best with most of the schurzen missing...lol I'm sure you'll do fine! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turret shield are plastic though but I reckon I can fix those after. One thing I did discover from the archives that certain units bent the leading edge of the schurtzen ……….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
