Jon,
What kind of tracks you got on her? Looking forward to seeing it painted.

I had a spare set of Fruilmodel tracks that I used on it. I orginally wanted to use some magic tracks but the teeth on the sprocket are too wide for them.

I was able to get some primer laid down last night as well as add in the missing weld beads on the turret.

For the weld beads I used the Archer Transfers weld bead decals. This was my first time using them but with a little planning they went down without a hitch. I will definitely be using them again!

Got the base color down along with some of the detail painting. The matt coat I used to seal the decals dried in such a way that is lightened the base color in some areas.
Now I'm just waiting on some paint to come in so I can lay down the desert camo.

Nicely done. One thing though. By the time the Ausf. N reached production the tanks headed to N Africa would have been painted in tropen colors at the factory. None that we know of were sand over gray.
