I managed to do some assembly on the lower hull and suspension, as well as slap some paint onto the various parts. I started out with an undercoat of Testors acrylic German Brown, followed by successively lighter coats of Testors acrylic Panzer Yellow. Sorry for the quality of the pics; but thanks for looking. Dave P.S. This is my entry for the Halftrack Campaign.

I thought the Halftrack campaign didn't start until September 1st?

Jumpmaster, the campaign starts on September 1st, your build will NOT qualify if you start prior to that.

Sorry, Emre! I just couldn't stop myself. I'll come up with something. In the meantime, this Dragon kit is just too nice to sit around and a good idea like a Warsaw uprising project comes around only once in a while. Chalk it up to poor self restraint. Oh, well! Dave

No worries, keep the kit coming, it should be a good build! Just keep in mind that it won't qualify for the campaign, so no disappointment later on. (It also means that I expect another halftrack after September from you, you owe me one )

Fair enough, Emre! I might have another halftrack in the ol' stash. These other attempts are going to serve as test beds for techniques I'll use in the campaign. (He said, hopefully.) In the meantime, enjoy your summer! Dave
