Patrick's Dragon Jagdpanzer A-O

[Guest]

Here's my entry, an old but gold one from Dragon.






Brass schürzen, periscopes, metal barrel






Tracks.... lots of them!






Made a start on the wheels - 18 roadwheels, 2 drive sprockets, 2 idlers & 8 return rollers... oh joy!


I should have suggested a STuG III GB






Thanks for looking in

This is going to be something special indeed ( ohh yes I like the metal barrel too and periscopes )


What sort of colours are you aiming for, Ardennes?, and what units are available In the kit?


Looks a very nice in depth kit there Patrick

Thanks Robert! I've had a test fit of the metal barrel & it's kinda wonky in the mantlet so I might go with the plastic barrel instead. It's a single piece slide moulded one so no worries about annoying seam lines


I have a bit of a plan for this one, out of necessity really. The kit represents one of the early pre-production versions - the rounded front of the casement gives it away.


Only a few were built & most went to training units, painted in plain Dunkelgelb. So I'm thinking of a vehicle that's being sent from its training billet to the front in the last month of WWII.


It'll have a quick respray in late war tri-camo... a good reason to try out my new Ammo by Mig paints

I'm going to watch this one Patrick

[Guest]

Thanks for all the interest peeps


A quick update


I've build up the lower hull & added Tamiya dark yellow as a undercoat/primer










Done the wheels - one thing I hate is sanding off the mould seam lines






Now to make a start on the upper hull






And by the power of Greyskull!










Thanks for looking in

Thanks Monica, yeah I use a circle template to keep the wheels as neat as possible.
