What brand zim did you initially get? and why did you decide to switch to the Atak?

My bad, I did use a mix of the atak at the back and front, and the first bought kit( don't remeber what type, but ut was resin) on the sides, since the , as you can see I bought the wrong atak kit, so it did not line up With the sides.

Moving along . A few bang up fenders . Used some leftover fruils wire and superglue to attach them.

Thanks for looking.

I use Ak chipping fluid ( I also use hairspray to on larger scale)

I have red primer, and then add a coat of chipping fluid, let dry and paint yellow. Then I chipp the yellow With brush and tap water. Add a coat of satin warnish, let dry. Add a a coat of chipping fluid, let dry, add a coat of green, let dry and chipp, and again same process for Brown.

have a look at my video here :-)

Hi Stain,

looks very good and I like your easy way of doing this kit.
I have also this Tamiya kit since 20 years in my cupboard, still waiting to build. If I have finished my Inf.-Stug. 33,
think will go for it :-)
Very good work
cheers,
Isidor
