Oh yes, now that is looking sweet, White. Are you going to detail the little bits on the vehicle? Spade etc? Ive always found the thought of that a bit daunting. But from your results so far, i dont think you do. lol

Here my latest progress on the paint job using salt.

Started the UE yesterday, got the hull and storage bin done.  There's not a right angle on the bin, thought it was the builder but checked another one of these I have under construction but it's not straight either-but could still be the builder.  Checked some of Stickman's pics and his bin ain't straight either.  Although once I get some stuff in it and cover it with a tarp, who'll know.  Had to fill some ghost lines in the bin, other than that no major probs.  Gonna be panzer grey on the eastern front.  A buddy of mine has a panzer with a cool winter camo job I want to try.  Here's a pic.

   Thank's all.  Got out of work a little early today so I'll be heading right to the bench. Should be all finished up in a few hour's. I'll be posting some more pics over in armor so stay tuned.

   Dupes this will be coming to amps and Granitcon hope to see you at one or both.

   Keep the great builds coming people

Wow, Panzerguy. If the figgies turn out half as good as the Berge, shed deserve to be published. Simply outstanding stuff.

WoW panzer guy Thats one good looking B-Tiger.

I wish I had found this erlyer

   Okay finished the camo. I thinned the lines and gave it a lite wash to blend the cammo and tonite I'll give it a coat of future. Tommorow its on to the washes and weathering. Heres some pics.

 Hello All,

 jthurton, Thank you for viewing and the comments. Be looking forward to progress pics on the Kfz.7.

 GA.Modeler, Have never used the Archer gauges. Have done a few PE ones. Usually the modifications to the dash are done early in the building stages. Not saying it can't be done later, but it might be more difficult. Might want to check out what the airplane guys do for instrument panels. Those wingie things have lots of dials and switches.

 Best Regards,

There are two ways to use dry transfers. 1 is dry: you rub the transfer directly onto the model. Might be tricky in confines spaces, like a dash. The other is wet, in which case you cut the transfer out and then transfer it onto a decal sheet, and then use that like a regular waterslide decal.

A least, those are the two ways I know. Hope that helps in some small way.

jthurston,Which Sd.Kfz 7 kit will be built? The Trumpeter kit got pretty good reviews and looks like a very detailed kit. Still gotta love the Ol' Tamiya kit. Lot's of room for scratchin' things and prices are nice. Looking forward to seeing some pics.

Going with the ol' standard, the Tamiya kit. Might even do 'er OOB, since I didn't win the Eduard set on Evil Bay.

While I'm here, I gotta tell ya, this truck looks amazing. Simply top-shelf work there!!!!!!

 Guten Tag All,

 White_R34, The schlepper is looking great. Like the base coat. Be waiting to see more pics as progress permits.

 GA.Modeler, sorry the pic wasn't much help with 2 of 5 gauges busted out. Glad hans von hammer helped out for the reference pic. The pics looked alot better, more straight on shot. Be looking forward to W52 progress.

 panzerguy, looking forward to the camo and more progress reports.

 Best Regards,

white_r34  great looking build so far and most difently keep an eye open on ike. i just hope he dont turn back once he gets in the gulf if that low starts to move in the mid section of the nation.

panzerguy great looking build thier too. and now i fell like a dummie it just didnt ring a bell with the name from the odd couple.

mobious  i have  got the correct pic from hans von in the armor forum. i will get the dash done today and the w62 will be complet.

Hello one and all, hay panzer keep a sharp eye on Ike he's a coming! Well just before I started my paint job I added a small amount of red putty on the under belly then I painted the first color. I realy don't know if I want to put the decals on now or do it after the next coat go's on.

 G'day All,

 panzerguy,

 After looking at the final pic with the posed figures, the Italian campaign theme, the green really does set everthing up. This beastie is looking gorgeous! Be waiting for post updates!

 Again, thanks everyone for the comments...

 Best Regards,
