    Update time: Upper hull has been weathered. The rust color will be tempered with brown to make it look like dirt. Attached to the lower hull. The red oxide is in places where the zimm got blown off along with the side fenders by an artillery shell that landed near it. The main gun has been started on. Everything is currently dry fitted as I have to do the zimm on the mantlet. The kit also provides a simple breech, which is a nice touch, as I plan to have a figure and this way there won't be a dark void beneath him. The gun is loooong. Happy new year to all of you and your families. Hope it goes better than the last one.

    @Longbow, since you have a sPzAbt 502 book, please could you see if there are any of 002 (my project). Ok, now for updates. The upper hull painted yellow. The pioneer tools painted, and green camo scheme applied. Please don't go on the camo too much, it's painted with imagination and a hairy stick (not that I'm very good with either. Dry fitted to the lower hull. The front left fender is damaged to show a little battle weariness. Next up, weathering

    Why else do you think he's here.

    Update time.. The exhaust area was blackened and rusted to kind of simulate the real thing. (I know it's kind of weird from this angle but it looks good.) The front plate had it's zimm applied, auto filler and bolt thread method. The hatches were attached, as was the front plate. The bow MG was fitted as well. The bow MG is actually quite a nice piece, it's mounting is fitted in a way that it still moves like an MG in a ball mount. Phir milenge

    The lower hull is officially done. Upper hull next... The tracks had a pencil run over them for metallic effect. The camo is painted by brush and isn't the most historically accurate, so please bear with me. A piece of the fender was broken off to simulate battle damage. Phir milenge

    Great work with the seats. The level of detail is amazing Vytautas, and merry Christmas

    I wasn't able to get too much modelling time in due to Christmas preps, but some progress was made. The wheels were attached, and boy did I feel for the crew when they had to change wheels or do maintenance...... I will be doing it in steps, like finishing the lower hull and painting it, finishing upper hull and painting it and then doing the turret and painting it, and finally weathering all of them together. The tracks of 1 side done. Tamiya has provided Indi-link tracks which fit very well together, My only grouse is that with the lower part of the body sitting right on top, it is a bit of a pain to fit the tracks, unlike the ISU 152 that I did that had indi-links as well The rear plate (please forgive the zimmeritt, I am improvising) The rear plate attached to the body and the silencers partly done. . Tiger meme for the day

    Minor update. *Trigger Warning: zimmerit ahead is highly improvised, using auto filler and the threads of a bolt. Please don't kill me. * I know the zimm is a bit smudged in places, but it will be shown as damaged and broken there, so no sweat. Mud will be applied on the front the zimm is a bit cursory. A hella lot of wheels And on a light note.

    After much deliberation as to whether my semi skilled modelling would be welcome, I decided to take the plunge and pulled out Tamiya's Tiger 1 Mid. The round thing is a tin of auto filler for the zimmerit. I will be doing it as the tank on the box, Tiger 002 of sPzAbt 502 in Russia. This is the only photo I have managed to find of it. If anyone had any other picture please help.

    Hairspray can be tricky if too much is sprayed on as that results in a sort of gooey mixture of use to neither man nor beast Also, be careful with the wife's hairspray, you might get blasted instead of having a blast.

    Why is the centre of the circle left white?
  15. Vaastav
    Nice bus mate. Can we go to school in it?
  16. Vaastav
    Well, good to see you back on track (wheels). Your skill is amazing as is your attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing this being made

    I do realize that Alex, but so far I haven't been able to find anything else. So you know - In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed are kings.... Also Wishing a very happy Diwali to all

    Thanks a lot.

    Any idea about the kit?
  20. Vaastav
    I know that there is a Revell Do-228 kit floating around, but I haven't been able to find it on Hannants. Also, since I plan to build it as an Indian Navy aircraft, I was wondering if anyone did decals for that & if that was also available on Hannants. Thanks a lot

    I wanted to build an Indian Navy minesweeper, and since we used Yevgeniya class, I was wondering if a kit of it is available (on Hannants pref.)
