      1/35 sdkfz 184 Ferdinand Dragon Premium

      Hi guys

      I am completing my Ferdinand from Dragon. Overall, this is a good kit. However, the instruction is a little bit vague. For example, on the turret, near the hatchs, there is something looks like a light but there is no instruction about it. The decal is from Catograf, but... it shivers. Maybe, I did something wrong when preparing for the decal. Other than that, there are no big issues (I don't know if the kit is correct, since I normally don't care ). Here it is..

      Applying PE.








      Prepare for painting

      Now, the only thing left is the track...

      Thanks for your comments. This is the final product. I received pretty bad comments about this in VN such as: no dry brush, unrealistic model, and especially no metallic look. I did dry brush using silver and use steel for scratch. I don't know what I did wrong. Could anyone help me with this?


      PS: for those going to build this one, please be careful, track links in the two bags are not left and right. Actually, one is without teeth in the middle and one is with teeth. You have to combine these two kinds to create the track.

      I personally see more than correct the whole general set.
      I don't who are that VN but they seem to be excessively demanding... If there is true, that for my only is absent a bit of weathering in the tracks, dry paintbrush a color silver in the parts that they touch the soil and to monitor with the back adhesive number (put brilliant glaze before in order that it's not obvious/see).
      For my top job, I like so much!! I say it again!!
      Have fun
