DP -- a nother Dragon stummer going together -- they're somewhere between intimidating and inspiring! Can't wait to see that turret go together with the PE screens!
I've made some progress on my testor/Italeri 234/2. Here's the turret ring masked:

I altered some of the masking to better seat the jerrycans into place, and the cans are now sprayed off the model along with the jacks and fire extinguishers. I sprayed a lot of bits for my StuG IV at the same time. I had to get both models along to the paint stage simultaneously. While spraying the accessories I had some dark yellow (XF-60) left in the AB and put a quick coat on the turret to see how it covered over the dark gray plastic. Not too bad, as it happens, so I decided to forget priming:

Here the hull is fully masked to the last locator point and axle stub, so she's ready for the main coat. Here are both models fully basecoated:

I'll let the dark yellow harden off probably til tomorrow, then I have green for the 234 and redbrown for the StuG. Then fade coats, being dark yellow lightened and misted on, and a shadow coat under the sponsons of each, dark yellow darkend with brown. A little more detail paint to go and one or two parts to add.
Cheers,
Mike
