I've been working on this for the past few days.



And the progress so far.

This weekend's progress on the 8t.

DML missed the air lines at the rear of the air tanks, so I scratched some from sprue and rod.



I also started work on the front and rear wheels.

Great to see, and I will be following with avid interest as I have one about ready to start.

Thanx Rob.

It really is a nice kit. Ok so last nites work on the 8t. I've added the winch pulley and added the tow cable. The winch pully I've left in the Red primer as I think it contrasts nicely with the Panzer Grau.





Here you can see I have painted the air lines. I think they look ok.

Ok so tonight's progress on the 8t. I've weathered the chassis to depict a vehicle on the Eastern Front during the winter of 1941/42. I think it looks great. I'm installing the running gear as I go so that it gets weathered in situ too. This I think makes it more realistic.





I also added the PE flanges to the sprocket wheels.

This evenings progress on the 8t.

Here's a catch up of the work done so far on the 8t.





As you can see one side is nearly done.

And as the treads were drying I started on the bodywork of the vehicle.



The treads are done. And I started to put some colour on the body work.

And this is where I am at the moment on the 8t.

Sorry there have been no updates but real life got in the way. And I haven't been at the bench. But that has now changed. And here is where I am at the moment on the 8t.

This looks very good. For your next photos, could you get a little more light in the exposure?

Your weathering looks great but it is really hard to see some of the detail. Thanks a bunch for posting.

Ok Mark.

Well it's now finished.
