1.35 Dragon PzKpfw. 111.Ausf.M/N,Sd.Kfz.141/2

[monica]

well as a fill in waiting for the kick off in Patrick,Jagdpanzer


I started this one on Wednesday ,been a very busy little build,


which was of a some what surprise,lots of fiddly bits and added amour to the


front of the hull and also to the front of the turret,


so not just a very quick easy build as some can be,


the thing that I,real like is the thinness of the side plates,would not even be a 1mm


out of clear plastic card,as a lot of people always say there too think,


these ones look great,


so got home early today which was a great for me,as I was able to undercoat and


get the base coat down with the camo pattern as well,


unto the track stage,which are single link ones,


well hope you like the progress so far,

Nice one Monica, you don`t mess about do you nice start.

 

[monica]

ta Tommy so glad that you do like the progress,so far,


was a very nice detailed kit,liked having all the fiddly bits to


do,added a lot more hrs to the build,and even still enjoyed it,


that's the quick part done,just need to come back over it with chipping,weathering,


and the final details,:rolleyes:

Monica the model making machine strikes again! Wow, there's no stopping you


There's a lot to be said for many of the early Dragon kits, even these ones based on the Gunze Sangyo moulds. But if you think this one is fiddly, try a later kit


I would say to watch out for the overspray Moni, and perhaps to go over the rotbraun on the front. It looks to me a little overpowering.

This is coming along real nicely Monica.

 

[monica]

ta Patrick,


glad your liking it,and as for the camo down the front,your right re looking at the pic,


its only on the added amour plate,not onto the ,hull,so that's an easy redo,


and for the splattering,that one is getting a little strange,as that AB,never used to do it,


being a .03,maybe did not clean that nozzle part,as my .02,just seams to splatter all the time,


but hoping i,m able to re work it,


all comes down to using what is some what of a broken AB,with a bent needle tip lol, :D

 

[monica]

glad that your liking it so far Ralph,its an enjoyable build,

 

[geegad]

Nice kit and a very quick build as well bud top stuff..


One question what coulour are you using for the camo.??


Looks a little on the dark side hopefully you dont take that the wrong way

 

[Robert1968]

The tank machine is off again.... And what lovely work you do on all your builds.


Love the start on the camo too


( I'll be watching to pick up the odd tip here and there for my tri colour paintwork on my Jagdpanzer iv )


Great work so far Monica

bad lighting ,and also maybe a little,dark with the dark green,but a quick fix,of a little liter,


going of this camo design I did see,but changed it a little so its not the same,


so earth brown,and inside that a dark green,over a German yellow,base,


so glad your liking it as well,

glad to have you along Robert,


hope I may be of some use to you,and glad your liking this one,

 

[Fenlander]

Good grief Monica. Can't keep up with you these days! Looking very nice.

 

[monica]

glad that you are liking this one Graham,I do enjoy the extra work with the


fiddly brackets ,that hold the skirts on,

 

[monica]

well some what of an update on this one,


redid the camo pattern,making the green some what liter,and I do think it looks better,


and I guess its time to get a new AB,as I do think,that Graham,maybe wrong was having


problems with splattering as well,and it was some think with the nozzle,so as there's were


cheapo,ones ,and two hard to find replacement needle/nozzle better to just get a new one,:rolleyes:


well do hope you like the repaint of this one,

 

[monica]

update on this one,was not so tired last night so


got the tracks done for this one,all individual linked,tracks,


painted and placed this morning then the decals,making done,so let it set/dry for a few hrs,:rolleyes:


well hope your liking the progress so far,

 

[monica]

update on this build,


have added the bits and bobs,and done the weathering on it,


to some maybe a little too much,but I,m happy with it,as it is at the end of its run,


as if I,m right after the battle of Kursk they were made obsolete, :$


still need to work on the crew,as I needed one sitting in the open hatch,I had to remodel him,


to sit and hold on, :/


well hoping that you do like it, ^_^

 

[Richi72]

Great job Moni love the setup with the weathering and the figurines.


will watch this one.


Cheers Richi

 

[monica]

much appreciated Richi,so glad your liking it ,


so very glad to see you back home, :D

 

[monica]

been working away on a couple of things,


most of my hangup is this new format,of finding whats my builds,no pic beside dose not help much, >


started the base for this one,took some time to think up what or how I was going to place it,and this is it,


have done the weathering on the old girl,as its seen better days,and the fields have not been a kind place to be, 9_9


well that's what I'm saying, O.o

 

[dubster72]

Another one that's coming along nicely
