Nice work on the interior - looks mighty good and a shame once the body is close up. most if not all the details and hard work, will never be seen again.

 

[GazzaS]

Looks great, Phil.  It’s a shame that all of that brilliant effort will be hidden.

I have never realized how much detail Dragon put into this kit. Great start Phil, will follow with interest.

Cheers

Wow Phil, nice work with the help of a magnifier. Bummer, that the interior detail will be lost in the shadows.

Cheers Rob

Thanks Peter, I’ll have some hatches open but it pretty much a black pit in there..

Thanks Martin, that’s one reason I love Dragon, they stack exquisite detail in. RFM are pretty close unfortunately Tamiya (AFV) have dropped the ball in my opinion. The only problem with Dragon are their new kit prices, one reason I build “previously owned” kits…..

Thanks Rob much appreciated, this is so tiny I have to build most of it with my big magnifying light lense. Once built, pretty close, it’s off to the booth with the Flammpanzerwagen, Panzer III L and this.

Booth time, German Grey base coat, I have some ideas for this one…….the croc clip shows a size comparison…..

 

[GazzaS]

Looks good.  So small!  We call those roach clips in America.

[Bomber_County]

Thanks Gaz, it’s been a fun build, you have to admire Dragon, the detail they added in this is amazing……

Phil

Looking good in her primer cote and now that you included the alligator clip, her small size really shows.

Thanks Peter, German Grey as primer, I have an idea on the weathering on this one….

Nice Phil, you obviously don't need a lot of paint for this one.

Thanks Rob, no not a lot, saying that I have a cunning plan for the weathering….

Hey Phil,

Very nice work fella! I have never tried a Dragon kit, but you have certainly piqued my interest! I love the early war armour, some great choices, I like that you are doing North Africa too! 

Cheers

Thanks Kev, definitely try Dragon, they are superb. Lousy instructions and often  missed parts. Great detail and always a build and a half. The only trouble is they are pricey and that’s why I buy pre owned……..they knock Tamiya out of the park….
