Sofar-so good, Kalin!
Hope you followed Luftwaffe's instruction strictly- I'll take my caliper with me (when you treat me to some beer)...

Greetings,
I've some progress to report.


I primed with black, sprayed white camo. Glossed over model, applied markings, used oils on panel lines, applied wash over model, then sprayed flat clear laquer over model. Next I will use pastels to complete the weathering. After that on to the canopy.
Cheers,
Firstsergeant

First Sergeant,
That looks excellent! I’m keen to see how your weathering works out.

Hello, everyone. After a long time, I am back to taste of sharing models, under this good title. I began working on an old friend, Esci's 1/72 Pz-IIIN, on 3 June. I hope, I can finish it with the Romanian markings.

Now time for primer and paint!

Thanks Pete. Yes, a few. I might still add some PE release handles to the axe retaining mechanisms.
Cheers

Hello!
This is a final version of my project in the campaign. Unfortunately, I could not the color of the camouflage lighter. I wanted to be whiter.
But there will be other possibilities.
Here's the final photos.




That is all. It was a pleasure to participate.
Kind regards!
Cheers!

That Stuka is fantastic Kalin. I think that grey is more akin to a winter sky look that very white anyway. Thanks for joining in.
