Well, I got some more progress done on my four kits for this Build, especially the T-34. I installed the wheels on the lower hull and got them all painted once the wheels had dried:
While the wheels were drying, and before I painted them, I assembled the turret.
It was painted along with the wheels, but I had also waited for it to dry. I had three other kits I was building after all!
Then I heated the tracks for the Matilda so could move on with that kit. Here they are already assembled on the lower hull:
I decided to paint it in an Olive Drab and brown pattern; one that I'd seen in my WWII Encyclopedia. Hence, the Olive Drab paint on the outside.
Next I started up on my Panther again, building the roadwheels and getting them painted:
You can see them here next to the main hull, which I'd already started painting as well in the hard-to-reach areas that will be difficult to paint later in the build. Here is the shot of that paint on the main hull:
Here is a test fit again of the now-painted turret:
Moving right along, I managed to get all the roadwheels on the Panzer IV:
While they were drying, I built the upper hull:
Here is the turret being test-fit to the upper hull:
That's what I've got done so far. I hope everyone else is finding this Group Build as fun and and easy as I am!
Looking forward to seeing other people's builds!
