Things have moved along (slowly) on the workbench front. Despite replacing the starter clutch on one of my bikes this week, I still found time to get a bit of painting done. I apologise for the quality of the pics, I think my photography skills are diminishing with experience rather than getting better...
The Flak 36 needs some sort of contrast on it, I feel, but I'm not sure what, as the subject I'm following appears to be all Dark Yellow. Despite the PzIV being covered in dust, & getting some mud up under the skirts (Ooer missus!), it still looks far too clean in the photo as usual! The divisional signs on the British stuff are hand painted (53rd Welsh I.D.).

Thanks for the comments Richard. It's not quite as impressive as it looks, these models have all been on the go for a couple of months, they have just reached this stage simultaneously! The "88" is the Dragon one. I opted to leave the shield off, as my reference photo doesn't show it fitted, nor does it show any camoflauge effect, so looks a little monotone.

I think your 88 looks great ...if you want to liven it up a bit maybe add a few scratchs and use a pencil to get a metalic shine on some of the edges.. it should kick it up a bit.
