OK, back to my build. The past couple weekends have been full of everything but bench time, so I painted details parts. The Kubelwagen was pin washed with AK Interactive's DAK Paneliner, I really liked the way it went on and the effect. I didn't take any pictures, however.
I added some addition gray chips with a sponge and added a flat coat so I could start wrapping it up.
The windshield was begging for some smutz, I have to admit, I had never done one and did a little web surfing for a solution. I finally settled on a masking tape and Dullcote method. I measured the windshield and wiper position, laying it out on paper first to see how it would go. I used my dividers to create the arc and sure enough, it looked plausible. I stuck a piece of Tamiya masking tape to an old cutting board, repeated the process and cut the arcs with a new blade. After that, it was a matter of affixing the arcs to the windhield.
I mixed up some Testors Dullcote and lacquer thinner, tested the mix on a scrap of Plexiglas to see how it looked. All looked believable, so I went ahead. More photos to come in a few minutes, I just realized I hadn't edited today's photos.
Sorry for jumping ahead, but I felt I understood the class material and didn't want to lose my momentum. Stay tuned, more to come.
Thanks for stopping by.

Don't forget the little arc at the inside of the wiper blade.
Otherwise looking quite the DAK Kubelwagen.
