Bomber_County Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Cool enough to spray and being on holiday means time ……..so the 251 prepared before assembly for the next stage. Due to the tub structure more prep required than your standard AFV. So component assemblies ready…… 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The Halbkette looks fantastic Phil. I like the subtle shading, this will be a stunner. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Phil Glad Mother Nature is letting it cool off and making it possible for modelers to do some painting. Very convincing weathering - nice light and gentle touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking back at my first model I ever showed on LSM, not a hint of weathering……..it was a Marder IIIH which now looks to clean in the cabinet… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gaz much appreciated, the angled sides of the 251’s can be tricky to know when to assemble….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
