Ok so I tried to plut comentary in the photos but it didn't work. Shown is the box wearthered up, road wheels, idlers, and return rollers installed.
I stippled the exhaust cause I didn't like the finish that is on it, to me it looked to "yellow". It has been painted straight Testors rust and looks much better.
Cool thing I learned is the gun has an electric/ hand driven traverse mechanism which I tried to show, it will get greased up before to long.
Not sure I like the decal for the first aid kit so I may do something different or try to "rough" it up abit.
I plan on using the Verlinden stencils I picked up years ago for the Balkenkruitz, should be pretty straightforward.....but it is me..... Also showed my track jig just for fun, it is a little tricky to get the first 4 or 5 links together but after that the jig keeps things flat and straight.
Next update I hope to have the camo painted, more stuff for the box, ie, rifles, gas masks etc., and I need to buck up for the crew. Thanks for hanging in there with my progress.
