Finally finished the vehicle, so here's where I call the campaign done, with the figures going into the unfinished project bin as I try to figure out that camo.

Hi everybody. I am in.

Almost finished:




Got to finish ammunition and other accessories, as well might add some personal belongings like helmets, gas mask containers etc to cheer up otherwise flat and empty fighting platform. However, brass shells alone might add enough, by adding some brighter colors.

this is for k_mero4

Hi !!! you have done a great job with your camo for a first shot ! and the schürzen camo is absolutely great.... for that, and those colours, you can locate your sturmgeschutz on kursk Area (summer 1943) or in France,Normandy, (summer 44)
I particulary appreciate the effect on the schurzen... very nice job and effect !

Darius,

Very nice work on that RSO. The camo work is mighty nice. She should will look great the brass shells casings and extras.

Here are my finished photos of the Sd Kfz 231 Schwerer Panzerspahwagen (8-Rad)

The same photos are in the campaign Gallery









There are a lot of great models in this campaign, I can't wait for the Dragon 2019 Campaign.

Tom

Well i finally managed to find some time to get back to work on this kit and decipher the instructions regarding the guns!

so I managed to build up the guns into their little house whilst watching combat dealers and here is the result.

Tom,

Really nice work on your 231. I am really digging on the camo work.

Progress update

Everything is in place, ready for painting. Now I wait for Eduard Flak 30 shield.

Bogicevic,

That's a lot of vehicle. Looks like a nice clean build. Looking forward to final.

I'm in with this kit:





The DS wheel well inserts were coated with an oily residue inside the zip-loc baggy, and upon removal one broke, as you can see. The DS is now brittle; not the normal flexible vinyl. Like something you'd find in one of those stores in Manhattan between Houston and Canal. Anyway...



...haven't looked at it yet to see what I plan to do about it but it should be no big deal.

Thank you Mark.
Tom, great looking 8 wheeler.

Quick update on my Elefant: Got the hull and suspension finished, now to throw some zimm on it. I like to pre-paint the areas that will be hard to reach after assembly, like suspension and mantlet.







I'm using Cavalier brand zimm, and even though it says it's made for this model number, it's about 1/8 inch too short on every piece. Can I heat it up in hot water and stretch it, or would it be better just to cut it and fill in the places with textured putty?

Jesse

well after some trimming and cutting some areas of the gun assembly i finally managed to get it located and glued into position in the turret.

Guys I am Trying to Upload my Progress pics ,How do you upload them here on the thread ? Can anyone Help ?

Are you using imgur or some other web based photo hosting?

Not using anything there is no upload option ,when I click (upload Photo's ) it says Kitmaker photos are not allowed ,I am trying to upload pics from my computer not Kitmaker

ok so the assembly part is pretty much over and now it's time for a primer coat to help spot the imperfections

Ok Here is my Entry Dragon 1/35 Sd.kfz. 250/1 " NEU " Starter Pic and 2 in progress pics.

Jose,

Looks like you are off to a fine start.

Mark

Finished:




Got to get crew now, and make display base. Im thinking of showing it reversed into ambush position between some bushes. But that already new build I enjoyed this build very much, nice, well detailed kit, with only minor issues (read usual dragon instructions ). My only nag is type of munition included with their Pak40 kits. The only types included are HEAT and HE rounds, with no hard hitting ones. Altho HEAT is anti armor round, i believe that the regular PzGr 39 should have been included too. Oh well, no one who will see it on my shelf digs that deep anyway.

Thank you it's actually finished you can see it in the campaign gallery

Well all major construction is complete except the magic track runs. Should start painting soon.

well after all the fun of sanding (yes that is sarcasm) i finally managed to get the rear area sorted out and i have coated the kit in standard car primer paint. (actually i coated it twice, first with grey and then a less pronounced white coating was applied before i then sprayed the whole kit with tamiya XF-78 Wooden deck-tan)
