Unfortunately I have to surrender to the no longer deniable that I won't finish the Humber armored car by the campaign deadline due to some detours. Luckily I found a kit that's much less of a build that I should be able to finish.

I finally realized I won't be able to complete the Humber armored car by the campaign deadline due to some detours so I found a kit I'm pretty sure I can.

johhar,
You're a dedicated campaigner! I appreciate you sticking with us even though you've had to change kits.

Gentlemen! I'm calling this one done. THanks for the Kind comments and the great Campaign!
It was a simple, yet fun to build kit. I still think the side skirts are too thick. Except for Friuls, this one is OOB.
Cheers!
Stefan

Jose,
The interior looks excellent! Nice use of effects to show shading and details.

Another update on the Wespe. I am close to finished with the interior. As usual I may have gone a little "chipping happy" but its all good. Will start on the exterior soon. Here are some pics.
The vehicle I will be modeling:
Keep up the great work everyone!!

Stefan, that camo is spot on. You really have an eye for it. Did you use some technique like masking, or how did you do it?

Hello everyone!
After more than a month I can boast of my work progress. I close the hull and follow the turret of the tank.
Here are some photos.
So much of me. Good luck to all.

A lot of good builds in this campaign. Looks like all are enjoying it.
I don’t see me building an interior kit anytime soon after seeing Kalin’s work And Colin’s cut away thread. I would shelve it.

Great Work Stefan and Jose!!
Bryan: Nice interior. What did you use for the wiring?
Kalin: brilliant interior! What colors did you use for the ammunition? I've only found a bright brass, but it's too shiny.
Happy Modeling,
Zon

Kalin,
That is a fantastic interior! Seems a shame to close it up.
Thank you for sharing it with us!

Gaz, Marc, Zon and Peter, thanks for the nice comments.
Gaz, I have another Panther model with an interior plus a crane. Оne friend of mine, Angel Yovtshev, gave me the idea to make place for repair of damaged machines, where the elements of the Panther will be visible. So that ...
Zon, I use metallizers "Mr.Metal Color" on GSI Creos and I am very pleased with them.
Good luck to all.

Thanks Zon. I use .05 diameter styrene rod for most wiring. The slightly thicker and the thin stuff coming off the headphones is copper wire.
Kalin are you going to have the crane lifting the turret on the interior panther? I always thought that would be a cool dio.

Yes, Bryan. It was precisely Angel's idea. Miniart have released great models with equipment. In addition, the Takom's crane (Takom 2108 oder Takom 2109) allows you to make a working one.
Very good work with color modulation and with the equipment of the crew compartment.
Good luck, Bryan!

Not any more!!! The putty and sanding would have removed any evidence of that.
A lot of work Jose, but I'm sure it was worth it.
