Painting and weathering Dragon kit 6562 - 8 ton Sd.Kfz. 7 Mittlerer Zugkraftwagen
Moving onto the running gear, as the tracks were plastic, they were weathered without enamel washes in a similar fashion to Uncle Nightshift's excellent tutorial video Keeping the rubber track pads free in the process meant careful application of washes and continual clean up after speckling...- Panzerwrecker

Painting and weathering Dragon kit 6562 - 8 ton Sd.Kfz. 7 Mittlerer Zugkraftwagen
After completing the equivalent Trumpeter kit in the GB at the beginning of the year https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/trumpeter-sd-kfz-7-holzpritsche-daves-halftrack-gb.41003/ and being delighted to get the build published, I figured the Dragon kit I compared it to should get a look in...- Panzerwrecker

Airbrush spray booth
I use both MRP paints and have the Benchvent Exagon BV555-D which looks very similar. The booth, after 5 years vents really well and is still working as it should. In facts it sucks so well I often turn it on at least 5mins before airbrushing as it will draw in any small particles and pet hairs...- Panzerwrecker

3.7cm Flak 37 Anti-Aircraft Gun and Sd.Ah 52 trailer (Tamiya)
Cheers Jakko. Both front tyres are gone, and the axle is fully articulated down on the driver’s side so the other wheel hub is likely suspended by a large rock or build-up of ground material. The large stone leant against the front was likely used too. One wheel ring half lies on the driver’s...- Panzerwrecker

3.7cm Flak 37 Anti-Aircraft Gun and Sd.Ah 52 trailer (Tamiya)
Having found some inspiration from an image https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/whats-on-the-bench-2023.40809/page-5#post-664490 my Dragon Sd.Kfz.7 project will now sit abandoned along with a towed Flak gun. Although these vehicles were capable of towing far heavier guns, when you’re making a...- Panzerwrecker

What's on the Bench 2023
Work has prematurely stalled on the Dragon Sd.Kfz 7 so I've moved onto the base and the vehicle it was towing. Dragon inexplicably do not provide instrument decals for the majority of their 8T kits, and now Archer are no longer around it has taken some time to find an alternative.. Although not...- Panzerwrecker

What's on the Bench 2023
2023 is the year of the seven for me. I plan to complete all the 1/35 Sd.Kfz.7 8t halftracks I have already started to build and also hope to kitbash one that was never released. One down, one in progress and three to go WIP shots of the Dragon 6562 kit- Panzerwrecker

Trumpeter Sd.Kfz.7 Holzpritsche (Dave's halftrack GB)
Bit late in the day I know but this is my completed Trumpeter halftrack. This version was the very last incarnation of these famous WWII vehicles which came with a re-designed and simplified wooden cab and cargo bed. (Holzpritsche) They are a bit of a pig to work on but the end product is as...- Panzerwrecker

Punctured Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf C
Making space in the cave I thought I might take some upto date pics of a few builds that have been tucked away for years. Built in around 2012 this is the Cyber Hobby (Dragon) Ausf C which frustrated me so much during the build that I punctured one side and rendered it damaged. This was my...- Panzerwrecker

Los's 1/35 Trumpeter Sd.Kfz 7 KM m11
Project 99.99% complete. Apart from the width indicators which, although I had already painted, seem to have gone walkabout, the 8ton is complete. I will post pics up on the completion page once I locate them;) Apologies for the delay in finishing well out of the alloted completion time and...- Panzerwrecker

Los's 1/35 Trumpeter Sd.Kfz 7 KM m11
Nice feeling to make it to the point where it all falls together so it's now time to apply some dust, filth, grime and general wear and tear. First up was a speckling with various mixes of pigment and oils diluted in white spirit followed by the lightest coloured dust layer of heavily diluted...- Panzerwrecker

Sadly this build is almost a whole month behind schedule now :rolling: but the first weathering steps have finally begun! Before closing up the cab, the floor was weathered with various enamel dust colours and the tread plate dry brushed with some dark oils to simulate some light wear. The...- Panzerwrecker

Managed a few little sessions over the last few days. Decals added, not that there are many! Just licence plates and instrument dials. Satin varnished before and after.

Airbrush work on the Dunkelgelb base coat is complete. Steering wheel tyres and track link pads were airbrushed with Tamiya tyre black .

First Dunkelgelb base coat with MRP-037 lacquer followed by a lighter coat mix of MRP-037 and MRP-004. A further lightened coat with a drop more MRP-004 will be misted over just the uppermost areas to finish the airbrushed coats in the next session.- Panzerwrecker

With the deadline date approaching fast I figured I best at least try to finish this. After all the sub-assemblies received a coat of primer earlier in the week some MRP lacquers were mixed to create some different shadow coats. Having done this a couple of time before, with a little patience...- Panzerwrecker

Little catch up on progress with the little trailer. It's not good news. Sadly the whole project has all gone a little pear shaped:confused: First up, after careful consideration and advice from fellow modellers the two vehicles just look too big sat on the base. They look good from some...- Panzerwrecker
