Yeah, I'm happier with a brush, but wheels are a menace, as are those pesky grilles! This is a basic mid sea grey, the panzer grey will be achieved with enamel filters, then I intend to try out oil rendering, then it'll be pigment city USA! I'm glad the base coat bit is over, I'm always anxious about clogging etc. Mind you, that's a lot of tyres to paint, and that's my next job

I do know exactly what you mean! However, 40 rims is 'avin' a larf innit? Also, a lot of them is going to be covered in pony , which gives me some flexibility, although I will strive for perfection, as ever...

Looking good, those grills do make a huge difference.
Like the grill covers, also some plain old window screening can also be used, I wouldn't sweat the road wheel perfection too much for as you say by the time you weather them and add a bit of road grime, mud etc.. you'll find that much of your perfectionistic habits can go quite un-noticed in the end. Though as you say it won't stop you from fretting over it anyway, believe me I know because

Let us ALL hope he does.
Your PM wants to ban him from England, not very wise to ban the next President of the United States, I think he needs a good scruffing if you ask me.
As far as my dearth of Christmas presents I told my Clan all I want is what I already have from them, which is their Love and for them to be safe, healthy and happy..........Jim

Dont quote me 100% but I'm sure the first run production tigers wern't fitted with the anti grenade mesh on there grills,this was a later update like the bar which is seen across the exhaust pipes to stop you putting explosives down them.

I wasn't sure, to be honest, but more folks thought it did, than those that didn't, so I stuck them on anyway - well, I did go to all the trouble of finding them!!\ said:

Quite a few filters on, starting to paint the details on the hull and given it a mist of varnish, ready for decals and some washes tomorrow.
Really looking forward to the next phases of this kit, but am going to take my time, layers are the secret to good rendering, so I must be patient!

Same colour in daylight! Just goes to show that lighting has many different colours. My work lamps both claim to be daylight bulbs!

Decalled up and varnished. Now to get down and dirty! I'd have tried the wheels on for size, but the axle stubs have a blob of masking fluid on them prior to the application of mud!
