Excellent work on the interior Chad! This is coming along beautifully! 

Finally getting some bench time. Got the empty storage containers filled with stuff now it's time to close the hull. Tarp and maintenance rag made from Milliput along with some water cans and a big pair of snips. How did those big scissor things make their way into this vehicle, only the crew knows! 

Thanks Gam!!

The worn beaten look is perfect Chad! 

Thank you Joe!

Thank you Bruce!

Chad,

Your weather looks incredible. Great job!

Excellent idea! Thank you my friend.

Thats loking great, love the chipping and the look of the dials and optics with the resin, not seen that before.

All 251's were issued a tarp which could be placed over the top. i usually make one with some tissue soaked in glue and rolled up and placed in one of those side bins. That fills up at least one bin.

Interior is done.  Streaked, chipped, dusted, and resin dropped into the optics and gauges.  Time to start the exterior.  Yes, that's a cat hair in the first pic!  Second pic without the offending hair.  I need to find some goodies to put in the storage bins.

Thank you Bish!

Some nice work on the inside, coming up well

The interior looks very good! 

Dot filter of raw umber and yellow ocher applied to areas of shadow and highlight. This is the second layer of grime and I think it adds a l ot of tonal variation to the side walls. 

Thank you. A few layers of grime yet to go!

Coming along very nicely. 

Looks like I fell victim to bad moulding!  I'll change out the color for a worn wood look.  Thank you for letting me know. 

Thats coming on nicely there Chad.

The rear seats on the Ausf D were wood, and while the shape in the Tamiya is wrong for wood seats, some dry brushing with a darker brown mght give more of a wood look to it. Just a thought.

Finally back on this lovely lady.  Laid down the interior finish and first of a few layers of grime. Next will be a filter of Raw Umber then a final filter of white for highlights.

If I remember correctly late war 251 interiors were painted to match the exterior.

 

They all were. Right from the start of the war, all open topped vehicles had the inside the same colour as outside.

Thanks guys!

Question - the instructions don't give any indication as to what color I use on the inside.  Would late model 251's have a dark yellow interior that matches the exterior?

Looks good Chad, love the busted-up fenders and rusty muffler. 

I'm on board!

Bish it's always great to have you aboard!

I think i might tag along if you don't mind.
