I've been delinquent in posting pics for this build. Picked the kit up last week and have been puttering away on as time permitted.

Lower hull sub-assembly. Added the Broach light electrical conduit and there were 4 sink marks to fill on the rear doors.

Upper hull assembly. Again a few sink marks to fill. Filled the mounting hole on the front for the Hand Crank access panel that disappeared on the Late model. Also added the bump pads over the front seats and an antenna cable for the radio installation. A grab handle was added just below the forward MG mount.

Tamiya SdKfz 251/1 Ausf D (Late) in 1/48 (170109)

Started work on painting the interior. Base of Dunkelgelb acrylic with filters, washes and some general weathering using oils. Some details and decals to add (radio and dash instruments) once the oils have set up.

With most of the interior work complete the upper and lower hulls can be joined.

Got a three colour cam scheme on this week. Decals went on tonight. Once they have set-up its on to filter, washes and weathering.
