You're fast Dave. I was still adding text to the pictures 😄
This is another on/off again build. She went with us on vacation to France. I did some work on the wheels, barrel and Friul tracks there. Back home, some other stuff got priority. Last night I was ordered not to go up to my hobby room by the mrs.... So I took this girl downstairs for some work on the turret.

Having a wife and kids around has other (dis)advantages. I'll stick to my current situation 😉
In other news, I added various bits and pieces to the upper and lower hull, glued the turret and some bits. Progress!

Finally found time to prep the last parts, clean them and put them on handles. Next up: primer!

More then I'm used to as well!
I never imagined preshading a tank was this much work

Welcome mateys.
I added some more grey shading. Dark grey and light grey. White highlights added later. Finished with olive drab all over

I found the olive drab a bit too heavy handed to really show the preshading. Lesson learned. To cover up my mistake, I pulled a bottle of washable white paint out of the stash, did some research on Google and started cracking.
Dare I say we are getting closer?

There would be more hope if I stop needing recoveries, Peter.
Thank you Neuling and mr C

JD, it really is nice to build. The small improvements make a real difference. In hindsight I should have gone for a replacement barrel for the 50 cal as well. The plastic one is already bent.

Nice result. I have the same kit at the primer stage and hope to get a basecoat on it this week.

Nice work Martin! Looks good! Just think, all the skills you've used on your recovery's that you wouldn't have known. I know....it still sucks!
