D... you're good. Stunning piece of work so far.
I have to try, to preshade my next tank model, the way you describe it in your earlier progress post. I'm not very confident with my airbrush, but if I don't try I'll never learn.
Looking forward to next update.

Looks great John, as always
Looking forward to see the finished tank....although it would qualify for "finished" already In fact your unfinished models are already much much better than my finished ones :-)
Keep it up,
Martin

Nice build. The zimmerit looks good. What did u use to make the pattern? Paint job looks great. Which StuH kit is this?
Cant wait to see it finished.

Cheers guys!
Martin, I could call it done, but it still needs a couple of little touches to give it some personality. And the Side sheilds need to be weathered a little bit more, especially on the inside.
The pattern is a stamp from Ordnance Models. I duplicated it in resin so I could cut it down to reach tight spots. The base kit is Tamiya with a CMD conversion, MK drive sprockets, DML return rollers, Fruils, Aber PE, TWS spare road wheel, Artisian Mori tools and an Aber barrel. I coverted the CMD set to represent an Aug 44 model by covering the close support weapon and remote MG, and moving the piltzen points.
