Right, here we go...
I decided to build the Demag with Pak 38 from Italieri.
It will be OOB with some figures from the Flak vierling.
It will be in a small 'ambush' diorama, somewhere in Russia, winter 41/42.
First pic,s of build.




I'll post more as I go along

Cheers
Henk

Lookin' good. Nice, clean build.

How much of that is dryfit? I mean, are the wheels and tires glued to the vehicle? Do you paint them that way, or are they merely stuck on and you remove them to paint 'em? I am interested in how others do their work.

Looking forward to more pics...

Keith, this is mostly glue'd, the wheels whoever are just pushed on. The sequence of building and painting depends on the end product that I have in mind. As this one will be in a deep snow diorama, with a fair deal of camouflaging, I don't spend to much time painting the bottom or wheels etc. I know, booh, but I rather spend that extra time on a model where such parts can be detailed and admired. I will spend a lot of time on my Jagdpanthers wheels, adding the friction damage to the inside wheels etc.

Cheers
Henk
