Thanks, guys, but...I knew that something was going to be bad; this came being too easy :evil:
I added the clips to some hoses and 2 label to the engine
but....here is my problem; the hood is to short...I mean, I must have glued some part in wrong place, either the radiator or the firewall
Please somebody tell me that hood can be lifted for mantainance, so I can leave it off and make a scene with 2 mechanics...please !

Great build! Very nice engine.
For the hood, couldn't you try to use some evergreen on both sites of the hood to make it a bit longer? I'm sure you can make it fit that way. And since you are not planning to place the side pannels you don't have to worry about those?
Cheers Erik

Thanks Dragunov!
Well, theese are the last updates:
You can see in white the little piece of plastic added to the reshaped shield's pin
One of the side hoods; I deepened the opened parts with a Nº 22 blade
I eliminate the 2 fasteners and replaced them with some not used parts of other kit (I though they was the rear cable holder of Italeri's Pz IV F2/G). To the left, in dark gray, is the reshaped one
The entire kit, not glued yet; the wheels and tracks was painted, I just forget to take pics
Some rear details
Kar-98 holders, modified with some copper sheet; P.E. no-skid plate plastic bolts and the new fastener in "open" position
The slightly modified Lineal 21 sight and a draw found in the Web
Well, that's all folks! Suggestions, comments, ideas, donations...all wellcomed

Thanks Andy and Randy!
Today updates: wiper engines (motors?) and wires. The Tamiya tape protect the windshield from ciano atack
I made 2 more fasteners using those shaved from the side hoods
Base color, using dark gray car paint. Once I star painting....I can't stop, so, this vehicle must be finished this week...I hope
After some light added, I paint with a mix of XF-59 Desert Yellow and X-2 white. Why I choose that mixing ?....I don't know exactly....it seems correct to me for a 1942 scheme
Now the funniest part begins: decals, paint chipping, scratches, fading, etc :evil:
Darío
PD: BTW, I use a grenade handle to make a new optic sight for land shooting (I forget to take pics )

Thanks Bucket!
Some advances: I added some washes, using acrilic artist paint, well diluted with water and glass cleaner. I can't glue some parts until the vehicle was mounted to the base, to avoid breaking delicate parts
I need to add: distance indicators, mirror, stains to the engine and exhaust multiple, to glue the wipers, to enhance the K-M logo, paint chipping on the tarp between hood and firewall, to glue the battery box, to add dust to the front lights, to add the position lights....Man, more I look it...more I had to do!
This sections needs: more dust, to glue de seats, to add the 2cm magazines, to add a little drop of gloss varnish to the aiming device....
The left instrument needs to finish; the others instruments was painted with white acrilic, protected with floor polish, then painted with black acrilic and then, using the point os a #11 X-Acto blade, I gently scrap the black paint to reveal some numbers and needle in white
The side parts are not glued yet; they need some re-paint in areas where the FG colors appears; the rear license plate needs dust yet
Does anyone knows what happens with the spent ammo of the flakvierling? They were collected in the box below?
I'm wrong putting those empty shells over the platform?
Thanks
Darío

Hi Dario.
WOW !
That is very nice. And getting better. As far as the spent shell casings. Yes they did collect them to be reused. And they typically did it as soon as they could. Because a gun deck covered in round shell casings could become a pretty slippery place to be if more shooting was needed and they had to service the gun. But if it was just a short burst and then move out, there could possibly be a few shells on the deck for at least a little time I would think.
And I was curious what color you used to paint the guns? They look great. Especially the hand grip bands on the barrels .

Hola Dario,
The box collected the spent shells...
After a session, the box was opened and all the shells collected into containers so a few spent shells which escaped the transfer (I have seen spades used for this by US forces) may be lying around.

Thanks guys; I will put just 4-5 shells on the platform and ....I don't know...100 or so on the ground :woohoo:
Gary...let me see...I use first Tamiya X-1 mixed with a little X-7 Red...I don't like it, so I repaint it with X-1 mixed with very little of X-2 and X-7 (again). Of course, then I apply graphite with my fingers. The hand grip zones was painted with Molak dark Gray; BUT...if you look pics of those guns, the hand grip zones used to be DARKER than the rest of the barrel; that is because those parts are Flat...or looks flat due to te machinery; in other pics they look LIGHTERhmy: So...I choose to make them lighter, avoiding to repaint the guns

Dario,
This has been a great step by step! The model over the length of the thread has really turned into a super build!
Keep going!
