I primed the above with automotive enamel primer. Using Lifecolor acrylics for camo.I am an industrial spray painter by trade , we spray Zinc protective coatings, which need to be continuously agitated.[ I am also educated in the use of all kinds of commercial/industrial thinners & coatings] Lifecolor is the same way by my experience, seems to be pigment based paint that tends to dry fast at the airbrush tip. So, I constantly stir in the cup & keep the tip wet with lifecolor thinner or windex.
I have a Tiger 1 Academy with interior & a Dragon Tiger 1, thinking of throwing the interior into the Dragon!

update: Camo on. Next up,Wash & Weathering.

The camo came out really nice. I do like them Lifecolor paints.

Thx Bob. I like lifecolor paints.
I scratchbuilt a rear deck railing & track bar in front.
Also added a deflecting sheild outside the commander cupola.

PS- I always wondered what that cupola sheild part was for, I finally figured it out after a yr. I had a bunch of Dragon kits that came with that part but it ended in the spares box, till I bought a kit that actually used it, a Pz III . Daft.

update: Ok, here they both are. Both need a little more work.The tops are not glued down or the piece between the barrel & hull. I'm leaving the hull tops unglued to view insides.Need to finish the tracks,wash & weather the green one.

Update: Almost done, here's a couple more pix.

update: Taking a break from these Stug's for about a week. Working on a Dragon Jagdpanzer IV L70 w/Zim.

David, nice work,one suggestion on the mud - unless it was thrown there it would be all around the wheels and rollers (not much if any black would be seen)
you may want to carry at least carry some of the "mud color" around if not chunks.

ok thx John

PS- also dolling up a Tamiya Stug IV & Academy Panzer IV.

Update: just realized how many "little" things are left to do on these 2 Stug's. Good grief.Will post pix when I get moving on them again.
