I guess the itch to be at the bench has returned as of late as I find myself spending more and more time there. Been building mainly a/c lately but I've been wanting to get back to this one for a while now. This is the Dragon kit and was started some time ago. I was initially excited about the build as I thought it was an interesting vehicle and the 2cm gun and mount is pretty cool. This kit is a complex kit and is by no means perfect. Some strange fit/build in some of the assemblies to be sure. Here is the hull with interior painted and weathered as much as its going to be. Going to try and get this one done by the 17th of next month in case I decide to go to AMPS in Atlanta.
And here is where I am on the 2cm turret. It has been painted Tamiya dark yellow lightened about 30 percent and has had a wash. Waiting for it to dry to start some chipping and drybrushing. Between the lighting/pics/wash it actually looks a lot darker than it is.
I am contemplating replacing the barrel with a turned brass one. Any recommendations?
