great pictures Dave, interesting shape with the rounded corners, never seen that version before...

i´ve only built the schwischen-lösung from DML, and the old Tamiya jagdpanzer IV lang

looking forward to see more when painted and weathered

Thomas

Looks like a good build you have going here.

The only thing I can see is maybe the tracks a little to loose.

Reason I think they would have problem going in reverse and would add to wear of the drive sprocket.

But hey maybe a tanker would say something else.

Is this a Dragon kit looks really nice.

Nice! Only the tracks hang a bit too much on the ground at the back.

Lars

there are only 99 links each side . im considering 98. after hours of assembly and all that liquid glue i decided to test fit the tracks . as ya can see the track is not fastened over the left drive sprocket. does this qualify a person for jewelry making?

update and first coat of tamiya desert yellow

Great job on the ao so far.What do you have in mind as far as a camo scheme?
I started the L48 a few years ago and haven't gotten around to it yet,after looking at yours i just might dig it out of the closet.
looking foward to your finished ao.

Dave the tracks look great, nice sag. How did you get them off to paint rest of it? I cant see any joins.Great work, smooth lines. Cheers Geraint

i hadn't fastened the tracks yet and only had them together over the drive sprocket. i intend on removing at least one track to create less sag.

maybe a three tone ambush scheme

Dave,what make of tracks are they? Cheers Geraint

these are the model kasten panzer 4 late war solid guide cleated tracks with some of the best detailing ever. it's important to carefully assemble them with liquid cement such as the tamiya extra thin or the testors.

some more progress with my first burnt umber oil wash thinned with oderless mineral spirits

Dave that Jagdpanzer IV is looking awesome keep up the good work can't wait to see the finished product

Thanks for posting that picture because I can't see the one above.

I like the paint job on that AO. You're doing great with this model and I'm sure it'll be really cool once finished. What's next for this one?

-Mike-

another wash with oils and thinner. then a coat of testors dull coat. then ill build it up wth some pigments.

Great work so far Dave, looking good! Like your camoflauge pattern. Nicely done!

Keep at it, cheers!

Tim

Grrr, this makes me want to finish my L/70 so bad, just waiting for the parts to arrive!!!

Very nice Dave, hopefully she looks just as good as that Tiger B you completed a bit ago!
