Hey,

Well first of all I want to say i'm really proud of what I have done, esspecially the camouflage. This is the dragon kit, and I know there are a few building faults, but the camo is in my eyes perfect. The next stage is weathering and I will weather the model very subtile because I want to let the camo like it is now.




























Again comments are welcome.

Hilbert:

Looks good buddy. Camo is great. the only question I have is did the germans paint camo over the extra tracks on the front? Im not certain myself. How was the kit to build?

Good stuff

No, they didn't paint the tracks, but I haven't paint the tracks yet, so that will be done. The kit was a plesure to build, but it is an old kit so there were a few things what needed some putty. The kit itself is totally OOB.

I agree, the camo is very nice. Did you do that freehand, or did you mask? I like it a lot.

Hi Hibert ..nice paint job sir looks very well done and the weathering so far is good...One little thing you did is put the front towing hooks on backwards ...the left should be on the right and the right on the left ...I'm sure it won't be too hard to fix. Other than that ..great stuff .

Thanks for the comments.

I won't change the hooks because I don't want to screw up the paintjob.
