Well last night I work just two more hours, so with that little time I finished all the details of the turret. I just left apart the machine gun barrel so I can paint it easily.
Next the fenders and constructions is done.

nice work.. just 1 question, have you got the tracks on the right side? my plans (at least how I read them) as the very small point bit on the outside of the tracks... dont know if that is a moulding flaw or how they were designed...
could be me - in which case "damn & blast I have the tracks on the wrong way round"....

Well I used the next images on the instruction were you can see the way of the tracks, but also compare with museum pictures to make sure, you know Dragon is famous to bring error in the instructions.
Hope this picture help you solve your question.

Paint is on, rather bright though. I will use several dark washes to tone it down.

Hi guys:
Constructions done on Friday Night, Primed on Saturday and today (Sunday) started with the green color of the Camo.
I wanted to make some shadows and lights with the green so started with the darker one. Pictures coming soon.

Hi Easy8!
I saw your work on your panzer 3! I must say this kit is not included in the seven wonders of the World list but, its a chance to make a simple tank Out of the box and try out new ideas for painting. I just primed the model in white, but instead of going to the base color I started with the camo color in the darkest color first, then today I will go again with a less darker until I achieve some light on it. So let see if this work for me.

Have never done a german camo this way so I will keep my fingers crossed. BTW you lost a crew handle on the turret in that last shot. Hope the carpet monster did not get it.

Small progress, Last night I applied the last colors to the green camo. Next, to cover it with Silly Putty for more painting. I will use some Dark Yellow with some dots of white to have a light color as a result. Later on the color desired will be achieve using several filters using Burnt Umber.

All of these builds are looking great! I started out ahead, but rain has put me out of service. I am going to rebuild the lower hull, as some dust got mixed in with the gloss coat. It is not in an area easily sanded. Glad I purchased a spares kit.

Here is my entry. Decided to do T-34/76 because I would probably not finish Jagdtiger on time.

Not at all, just play with it in your hands and goes back as good as new.

Well this is my update of this weekend.
First,Painted the wheels black, seal with clear matt the whole kit, then the next day I put some chipping using acrylics colors, then I put a filter using oils (Burnt umber) this will warm the base color.
Its very important to seal your base color, because when you apply the filter using thinner, if not well covered, the paint will start to peel off. Happens to me on the turret. What I do? just put some dark chipping color to dissimulate it the best I could. Here my results so far. Still a lot of work to do.
Tracks, some wash applied using earth tone some tamiya, diluted.

Hi!
Well, after decals I started with the mud part, for this I use a mix of microballoons, white wood glue, maybe a small spoon of white sand, water and color. The last part is not that important yet, because later when its get dry I will airbrush a clear mud color, in this case I use Tamiya Deck tan.
Next Day, after all is dried, I airbrush first the Deck Tan,and an hour later a mix of deck tan with a few drops of flat earth and respray the zone. So tonight I will continue making more layers in earth tones then to seal the work again to add oils details.
