Hello,

this time I present you a model prepared to paint.

It is the DML Smart Kit 6370.

But I won’t use the steel wheels. The kit also includes the regular wheels and
metal spare track holders.








More pics will be issued soon…

Looking good.

Maybe a little weld bead around the track hangers?

Hello,

I have spent the last weeks by painting and assembling the wheels and tracks - and watching the European Championship!

The welds suggested are a nice idea I gonna realize for my next models.

Meanwhile I applied green camo which has to be worked some more, especially highlights and shadings.

Meanwhile I have digested the lost final match against Spain.

I have been going ahead painting the Panther, now the second color has been applied.

After the brown color will have dried I gonna start to brush the third and last color.

Hi Jupiterblitz. Nice clean build and very interesting camo. Have you a reference for this camo, or is it a "what if" camo? Will be checking in again to see it complete!

Hello Frank,

this camo belongs to an unknown Panther unit in East Prussia fall 1944.

I have found that scheme at www.panther1944.de.

Unfortunately there is only one side shown, so design of the rest has been left up to me.

The third and final color has been applicated.

Now I am really curious about the look after I will have removed the stripes...
