Thanks John. I like the look of your build as well. Lots of good work out there guys. Gotta run!

Thanks Greg !

Still working on the tiny details on the hull, PE chains & spare tracks.
And I started working on the turret.
The details on the MG & main gun are great, I won't use the metal barrel & MG, I'll use them on a Dragon's Pz38 S version.

I used Maskol - hate it! It's still leaves a residue after a long time picking it off every which a way. I'll hand paint the yellow me thinks.

Nice job so far Greg!

Here's my small progress...



The hull still needs 2 tiny PE parts before getting a coat of Primer.

-- These Tristar kits are amazing ... --

Another update.

Turret









Still these little details missing... I'm not sure I can work these tiny pieces...

John it looks good in detail already. Tiny p.e. is for the birds


Putting some filters down now on the 1/48 Hetzer

Greg, the colour looks great.

Greg C-C;

Nice-looking Jgdpz 38! Now that things are toned down and weathered a bit, it is looking quite the little (used) killer!

PS: Tiny PE should NEVER be given to birds! Some are already brash and brassie enough without it, and the rest are just going to get all frustrated with picking the bits outta their bills!


@John;

The turret is looking good!

Yeah... those little lock-hasp bits beside the radio-op's hatch were quite the little pain in the b. I skipped attaching that lock (which actually, being a 0.003 inch - thick piece of brass, does NOT look much like a real lock when seen from any side other than face-on), but the 2 hasp pieces do look mighty nice when glued on. So, easy does it with the glue and patience as you go! Been exactly there and done that, friend.

Bob

Greg does wonders with those little tanks
John I like your progress looking forward to more
Here is where I am at, ready to be masked to add the 2nd camo color


and a Shot at the interior

now i need some time to work on it but finals are fast approaching

Thanks John, Bob, Sal.

lol Bob and Sal


Sal that interior really pops. Look forward to the camo

Nice job Sal !!

Here's my update.

Base coat





I didn't use the tiny PE.. still working on the wheels & tracks.

Greg, great looking camouflage.

Sal, the interior looks nice and busy. Looking forward to see more.

John, nice progress.

I have chosen my kit for this campaign. The trumpeter offering. I am planning to use some fruilmodel tracks for this kit as well. They are on the way in the mail.
Starting is still a couple of weeks away, but at least I have decided my kit

Nice choice Jesper !!
Looking forward to see that one, how are the tracks on the Trumpeter kit ?

Hello,

I've signed up a couple of weeks back. I thought I'd give this a try:



Cheers,

Tat

The tracks actually look pretty good. Link and length. I just wanted to try some fruilmodel tracks for this build.

Tat, cool choice. I have never build it, but heard the fit of the hull leaves something to be desired. Dry fitting is the name of the game I think

Hey, thanks for the heads-up Jesper!

Actually, I have been googling for any build logs, but so far have come up with none. Anyways have decided to take the plunge, so we'll see how it goes. Good luck on your build

Cheers,

Tat

Finding more time to do some builds, this is where I'm at.



Just a few more smaller parts to add and it will be ready for some paint.

Cheers

Here's my update







Still working on the tracks & wheels.

Hi there,
some very nice P38t based vehicles here, now it time for me also to start before it´s too late
Here it is :
Trumpeters Hetzer Starr Ausf. (I´m not looking forward to the tracks )







Paul

Nice choice Paul !

Here's my update, several filters & washes.
Spare tracks painted, MG's & muffler too.
Still missing painting the tiny red lights

Wheels & tracks are next. Also missing the hull decals (2 crosses B&W)

Thanks John, those vehicle ID numbers look fantastic. Are they decals or hand painted?

Well as I cheated you out off an engine in the Protection campaign I thought I´d better add one this time, may be a small area will be visible when finished.



Cheers all.

Paul

Hi Paul,

It's a decal, a great decal sheet that came with the Tristar kit.
Infact, so good that I'll use them on a 'what if' VK 3001 in Slovakian markings...

Paul, you're lucky I forgot that engine on the Protection Campaign..
But not here...

Hi there,
well the build is allmost over with, I´ll get the running gear on tomorrow and possibly start the painting:


I´m using to figures from Warriors set #35030 and an RB barrel



Tomorrow will be torture:





That´s all for tonight, have a good one



Paul

Nice work so far Paul !!

Here's my update:

Still cleaning tracks..



Added the wheels, w/ soft filter & wash
Also another filter & streaks on the turret, storage box & engine covers.

Hi guys
@ Paul and John Those tracks are a pain in the A$$, I know mine were, but both your builds are looking great
I have made some progress




However it dont look like this anymore
I have since done some touch up added markings and a dk wash sould get some more pictures up later tonight
