nheather Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 This is the second HobbyBoss model that doesn’t match track links and sprockets well. I have a Panzer II, late model with overlapping wheels and the fit is terrible - I ended up having to remove some sprocket teeth. Cheers, Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 gosh she looks awesome, that paint job is awesome. The weathering looks spot-on, not too much but just enough. Am really looking froward to seeing her completed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Awesome job on the weathering, really makes the model come alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bowcat Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thanks Reini. I added some more grime and rust streaks to the lower hull on Monday, and got everything matt coated yesterday so hopefully tonight I can get the wheels and tracks on then complete the weathering.

Mr Bowcat Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Good morning guys. I got this one finished up over the weekend. I finished it off by fitting the wheels and tracks (which was a bloody nightmare), applying some dust deposits & dried mud, some rust on the engine grilles and spare track links, and a few drops of spilled oil/fuel on the rear deck. I'm not sure where to put the finished pics, so I guess I'll leave them here. If this is wrong please let me know. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I haven't built armour for years but I recognize a good job. Nicely weathered too. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Jonesy Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi Bob Just had a read through of how this build went together. Those tracks would have driven me insane. Nice to see how you did the hard edged camo. Great work all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bowcat Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Thanks Rich. I did enjoy the build (other than the bloody tracks 🤬) and I will continue to post my other builds. I've got an M10 Achilles on the go at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
