Thank you Clint it is free hand with a #2 brush.

I really like how thats come out Nick, really well done ambush pattern.

Bish and gamera many thanks my friends. I clear gloss coated and gave oil wash.

Nick: Ohhh nice! Great work there on the camo.

So it feels like I'm not making any headway on this build at all but their is just so many parts and so many subassemblies. One thing I don't get is the med kits and two ammo boxes are molded on the floor plates with so so so many parts I don't know why something like them that need to be painted separate is not molded apart. Anyway here's some of the subassemblies

Thanks for looking

Clint: Looks like you're making great progress to me. I wouldn't worry too much about it, once the subassemblies come together it will really start to look like a tank.

And not sure I'd even worry too much about painting the severate parts, if you're going to close her up or have figures in the hatches you won't be able to see much down in there.

Clint: Whoops sorry! You probably already said you were doing the cut-away but I've got all out of whack over vacation...

Clint. baby steps its coming together nicely.

I have the decals on, clear flat, tools, cables still needs some small stuff.

Nick: She looks fantastic! 

Only issue I have is I think the insides the hatches were the same colour as the exterior of the tank. I'm not totally sure of this, you might want to ask around. 

Clint here you go.

Gamera yes according to the instructions its white but if you noticed that the spare tracks are put together wrong the lower flats of the track should be showing so take them off fix them weather them and put back on the turret

Ah ok, I'd go with the instructions over some random dude on the internet too... 

Interesting, I didn't know about the lower part of the tracks being backwards. Good luck!

And really nice work there on the figures!!  

Many thanks my friend 

Comng together well Nick. Very odd that they have told you to paint the turret hatchs white.

And the gun,inside of turret, but ahya you cant see it !!! But I know it’s painted white. I don’t know I’ve never Been in one lol the books I have are in black and white so I go with the instructions for my own knowledge . 

The colour for the gun is correct, it was just the inside of the turret hatchs that were the same as the outside. The lighter colour inside helped to see inside the dark interior but you wouldn't want bright white hatches to give you away.

good to know, must of been at the same time they dropped the black uniforms to dotted camo ones.

No, it was the case right from the start. And the camo uniforms were only for the SS. The black was used right to the end by the army and SS in some cases.

ok, Im enlightened. many thanks Bish Ive got it all wrong. I guess I'll stick to airplanes and cars.

I hope not after seeing the scheme on that Tiger.

Yeah Nick, you did a great job on the camo scheme and the figures. 

You're a born armour modeler!!! 

Nick: Fantastic build and the camo is a real beauty.

You definitely have to build more armor (and let us watch).

Zvezda and Gamera I do appreiate your kind words. I do have a few more tanks in the stash. Im working with flickr new way of doing things .My latest bike pics

now the rider. 

Nick: Fantastic job there on the bike and the rider! It's what? About 2in / 6cm long? Really nice work there on something that small! 

That is great work, Nick.

thank you Gamera and Kentucky colonel . The figure is 1/35th scale about 2inches. I did manage to build this 1/48th scale kettenraftrad that came in the Do335A kit ..I cant find the wip pics but gloss and flat coats.
