Re: PANZER III AUSF N "WHEELS AND TRACKS"
The only way I could think of to get right effect. They should pretty well hidden when the fenders are attached.

Love the pinned tracks - haven't done that in years!

Re: PANZER III AUSF N "WHEELS AND TRACKS"
I started painting the lower hull last night. It is a real challenge to airbrush paint something this size. Here is how things went.
Step 1.
I painted the whole thing Tamiya Nato Black.
This will give subtle shadow effect.
Step 2.
A lite spray of Tamiya Desert Yellow.
This coat forms the base color.
Step 3.
Next I put on a oil wash of Raw Umber.
This will tone down the colors and add more shadows
Step 4.
Added highlights to panels and wheel faces using a mixture of Desert Yellow and Flat Flesh. About a 3 to 1 ratio.
Again this increases the shadow effect and highlights some of the details
Step 5.
Added yet another oil wash.
The layering of different tints gives depth to the paint.
Step 6.
I painted the tires and added the tracks which are painted and weathered. Ended with a little dry brushing
There will be more weathering and washing as we go along, but this is a good starting point for the next step. Next I will be moving to the upper hull. Thanks for looking and comments and questions are always welcome.
