Hi,

Good start, I have to admit I would never consider building one of these ex-motorised kits but I am more than sure that you will achieve great things

Hi Steven,

I know this kit isn't like any Dragon /Tristar or Bronco standards, but it's a quick / easy build.
But specially I might try different techniques without being afraid to ruin a 60 € kit.. since I'm finishing 2 Dragon Panthers.. it a way to cool off at the bench .

What are you working on at the moment ? your 222 or have you switched to those massive 1:16 KTingers ?

Looking forward to see your next builds

Cheers !

Hi John,

How could you have missed my Tiger 1 build log !

I am finishing my 222, between you and me I am not really happy with how the paint scheme has turned out, but I will post it anyway.

Thanks for the link Steven !

@Gary

Thanks Gary !
I joined a PzIV contest at track-link.net , and since I'm building it at the same time as my other Campaign builds, why not add a log here with the progress..

This month I'll be finishing a bunch of Campaign builds I hope..

@Nick

Too bad you can't post a pic, I'd like to see how it turned out.

I almost forgot, this afternoon progress...





I added some Mr.Surfacer to add some texture too.

Didn't work on this one for awhile, but it's back on the bench.

Working on the sideskirts attachments, and still need to use Mr.Surfacer on some parts and smooth the texture, I might get some primer over and see what's needed after that.

Thank you, too. I'm currently re-doing some of it though since some parts didn't turn out like I wanted. *sigh*

I'm looking forward to how this JagdP IV L/70 turns out.

Thanks Gary !!!!

I'm still not sure, still wondering on a 2 tone camo (brown over dark yellow, with some tree branches, ambush style)or try something new, rusty / heavy worn out ...

I'm worried about the decals, a 1975 kit...

I have a new big project coming up, I need to clear my bench..
Stay tuned

What decals are you looking for, I have quite a few so I can probably provide you with a decent set
