Hi everyone
Some more progress on the Jagdpanzer IV I painted the tracks using Mig's rust primer then applied the track wash then dry seppe then the pigments then saturated the tracks with the odourless thinner and after they dried I rubbed all the high points with polished metal applied with a cotton bud ( Q tip ) the road wheels where sprayed then I hand brushed the rubber portions with Mig's rubber & for the hull I also primed it in rust primer and applied the Dunkelgelb DG1 / Rotbraun / Olivgrun opt 1 then gave everything a wash using the dry seppe I must say Mig's products are excellent to work with I will be getting the rest of his line up for American and russian Armor











Hope you all like it so far and now to give the upper hull some attention.
Back again soon with more progress

Cheers Lee

Just a quick update after fitting the upper hull
Tamiya has made it for the upper hull to be removable but I used plenty of extra thin cement to permanently fix the upper hull so there will be no visible joins especially around the front plates.







Back soon with more

Cheers

Lee.

Starting to look the part, Lee. You going to give it a coat of Zimmerit?

G'day Garry
I'm pretty sure these late batch of Jagdpanzer's with the 4 steel road wheels had no Zimmerit applied to them but please let me know if I am wrong

Cheers

Hi Lee,
I've only recently gotten back into armor modelling, so I'm not entirely certain about anything....especially about later versions of later marks. I was curious, though.

I've been out of it so long that my 1980's knowledge has been superseded by what's now available on the internet. I'm very much a student, now.

Cheers,

Gaz
