Mud, brown and black washes, and light scratches. It's not finished yet...

Looking good mate Sorely tempted to get his kit as well. Only thing stopping me is I want to get the PE screens for the kit as well - but doing so would push the price of this kit locally a bit past the Dragon Panther ausf G and D offerings.

You mean you need this ?



If you want I can send it to you for only the cost of postage...

Tell me if you are interested.

Thanks mate. You're awfully generous but I think it's okay if you don't send it. The postage from Canada to the Philippines is probably more expensive than the item itself.

Also, it's the engine grille screens that has got me worried more than the lack of PE schurzen. Those engine grilles are quite prominent and at least the kit has plastic schurzen along (though still inferior to the Dragon and Meng metal offering that come with the kit).

I'll just follow your build along for inspiration Thanks again.

I keep on working on the base, trying to give more volumes. Highest point will be the russian soldier with the little girl on his knee. The lowest point will be the front of the abandoned Panther.
