Hello Friends!
As a diversion, I decided to build this kit last year. It sat on the shelf about half finished, while more exciting projects were built. In typical Tamiya fashion, it builds up well, can be posed in several positions and comes with a three man crew. I purchased the kit for about $3.00 on sale at one of the local hobby/craft stores, so I guess I got my money's worth :laugh: Sorry, no step by step photos
I started the painting with Tamiya Semi Gloss Black, followed by Tamiya German Grey base coat, then base coat lightened with Tamiya Flat White. After that dried several days, I used SIN Industries Blue For Panzer Grey Filter, followed by MIG Neutral Wash to enhance the panels and then pin washed the lines with Burnt Umber oil. I used Citadel Washes Devlan Mud, Gryphonne Sepia and Badab Black on the various areas to break up the grey monotony then topped it all with some random MIG powders. After looking at the pix on the computer, I see several areas that need work, I'll post the revisions as they happen. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
