Painting has begun and nearly done.  1st coat was red brown, then apply some blu-tac, then gren, then more blu-tac, then drk yellow, peel the blu-tac and give it a filter of very diluted buff to tone it all down and pull it together.  A bonuswas the filter took care of most of the little "too soft" edges that needed to be touched up.

Eric... on my way over to the GB section to check it out.  But a quick detour to the stash to see what may work for that time frame.

Bill, Shell... thanks.

Thanks guys.  Yup... it comes with the metal barrel.

 

Eric... What GB is that?

Blitzkrieg in the West (France 1940). It's two weeks fresh. I thought you might join in, but saw that you were consumed with others.

Another quickie... Jagdpanzer IV L/70 - DONE Pg.2
Posted by wing_nut on Sunday, October 2, 2011 11:20 PM

A quiet weekend and wife and daughter a bit under the weather I had a couple of good bench days.  This is the Dragon Jagdpanzer IV L-70 early in 1/72.  Very nice detail, pretty good fit overall.  Except for that one wrench onthe front fender, all the tools are separate and really nice moldings. The part just behind the barrel (mantlet on this tank?) needed a tiny bit of reshaping at the edge and a lot of grinding down the inside to fit right with an ugly gap or thick edge.  That was given some casting texture with Mr. Surfacer.  The plates armor has torch marks added and the welds were improved after softening with some Tenax.  New armor was made from plastic card and springs for the rear mud guards made with .003 wire wrapped on a #80 drill bit.  Had to make about 6 to get 2.  The other 4 "sprung... or is it sprangedTongue Tied" off into oblivion.
