Thanks all. I hope to start the cam soon but been very hot and humid here which affects my airbrush it seems. So have a SU-76 3/4 done. Hope to have the Pz, SU-76i, and Model T to the weathering stage this weekend if it coolsd down. Then Monday the Grandkids airforce should arrive and it will take precedence.

Not a lot this past week but I did paint the rubber on the PZ Iv and SU-76i roadwheels. And today spent working of the skirts. Let them dry and then when I paint the hubs of the roadwheels I can paint them and then is cam time.

The shurtzen are quite fragile but look so good and the fitting of the parts is fantastic. Slow and easy and its easy to do. Of course I lost one hanger so mine will be missing one. But then lots of pictures to support that.

Not much happening with this as I'm doing a special project. Looks good with the skirts on though.

Got some cam on. Not exactly like the drawings but it will have to do. Also lost a skirt and a couple of wheels. Will search tomorrow.

Comments and critiques welcome.

Thanks everyone. Not as I hoped but I think after the markingas and a wash it should look good.

Decals on and now the hard part.

Not much for markings. The weathering will be what challenges me.

This one has now gone to the shelf of shame/doom. I knew I shouldnt have added all of the screens on before painting and so now it will wait until I figure it out or just give up. My next Pz IV J wont be done this way. (Famous Last Words)

Can you pop them off, those things would be a bit dinged up anyway. It's looking so good!
