PE is a PITA, the chief reason this model has been languishing a year!

some PE can be annoying. for example on my DANA there are tie downs that have to be bent to go on the turret top, all 10 would fit on a dime and the glue dot would be bigger than the part so i left them off. the right tools and some practice and most armor PE, at least what comes in most kits isn't bad. some AM PE is just insane. got the base color on today and did some sanding and white glue seam filling. . it needs a second coat so no pics.

That's why I'll only buy the EDUARD Zoom sets.

Cool, some update!
as mentioned, starting to look real and slightly weathered.
Keep it going, sir.
looks good. got second pukey green base coat on DANA but didn't get as much done this weekend as hoped. was able to unpaint a clear porthole i missed.
base coat is done. tools are done. will camo the turret sides separately (they are just sitting on the base right now) as well as cab and engine; dark earth and black. still some fiddly stuff that goes in the aft end of the gun after it's all together and some decals to put on before putting the turret together. at least the chassis and wheels are done and oil washed and won't have much dirt or mus applied.
My Oh My Wayne
I put marking for the 937th FA Korea on my M-43

Tony: I was joking about you being finished despite my head start but looks you'll be done way ahead of me! Looks great, I hope mine looks 10% as good.
Wayne: the DANA is just plain cool looking. Sharp work!

Wayne and Tony -- looking SHARP both! Fabulous paint, looking sooooo good!

Thanks Fellows
My tracks will be here Thursday and that'll slow me down.
Well, it's official, I just folded my first new piece of etch for the AS-90, so I guess the project is back on!

Is that the one I sent you way back in HGWT 1? About time!

Hi Jim -- yes it is! I worked on the gun mount last night and added some subassemblies and detail parts to the turret, but that first piece of etch I attached yesterday has today vanished... I have minimal patience with etch at the best of times, this aspect -- zero strength to withstand subsequent handling -- diminishes it even further. I'll not be mucking about with tool clamps or anything like that, just getting on with the main stuff and getting this animal done!
Cheers, Mike/TB379
Awesome Tony!,
Are you waiting for metal tracks?.
Guys, we need more updates on this GB...
No metal tracks this time Garz i'm going to try out a set of a new brand recently released.

Half the price of metal and they look strong.
Yeah and updates aren't much good without pictures.
Tony, Wayne those are looking fantastic. I can't wait to see em finished.
Hey Guys we need some activity in here.
Makin progress on those Kaizen Tracks, another two or three days I should have this side assembled.
See Ya Later Tony lee
See Ya Later
well DANA is all basecoated pukey pale green and all the tools and aiming stakes and between the 2 "turret" halves done, just waiting for the motivation to do the silly putty and start the camo. but have not been idle, FLAK 36 is basecoated gray and going tiogether today and i have decided on a what if camp pattern for 1/35 VOSPER plus some other work on it. and all the gray on LCVP is done and, of course, now i found the AM PE for it in my stash.
I've added the ammo tubes, though I made the yellow bands a bit large, added the decals for the 13th RCA and did some paint touch ups.
Weathering to come next.
Tony, that side on view really shows the size of that weapon. What an awesome unit. I like the precise finish so far.
Cheers
The other Tony
I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
That's it Chris Postem if you gotem.
What an odd name "The Other Tony". Depending on the angle of the lights the OD changes shades.
Just an accident of nature when mixing, matching and layering different brands of OD.
Wayne how about a picture or two buddy, it adds to the drama.
I've been called far worse !
She has at least one shoe on.
