Thanks Mike, if the plastic hadn't been warped on this it would be a nice kit. At least the Trumpeter one has a tub hull and is perfect .

Hi John
Problem - a difficult kit giving you grief.
Solution - dig a big hole and bury it.
Masterful Sir, just masterful!!
Seriously though John I think despite the issues this will be a great model.

Today did the final coat of brown Mig Primer, suitably thinned so it sprayed with out any problem. Once done and left to dry in the warm of the house I did a thick coat of Mig Chipping, did seem a little bubbly, poured some into a shot cup and left it to settle before spraying. Think I over did the thickness , but thew results were to my liking with the finish later.
Allowing it to dry with the help of a hair dryer I soon had a flat finish to lay the 4BO on. Then chipping followed.
To night the model has come into the house to fully dry in the warm, tomorrow a coat of gloss varnish to allow further weathering to follow.
Pleased with the warn finish, remember its abandoned and properly had a winter out in the open .
Comments welcome.

Thanks mate, just ordered another tonight, that will be both Trumpeters, the early and the same as this one. Might even have a go at some pe ! Steady man steady
Looks so convincing John
Thanks for looking in Lee, appreciated.
I put the gloss varnish coat on this morning, shook and then strained the varnish first, so no lumps. ! Now resting for a day until the weathering continues.
Maybe a little Yorkshire tea???Thanks for looking in Lee, appreciated.

Yes we've had plenty of that today,
I start with a black coffee, then its TEA through out the day.
Hi , good to see Pete supporting the crush the Stug campaign, too many of them about ( Sorry Bob )
Being do the weathering while building a few surprises, like a 1/72 Plane and a BA64. More on that later..........
First some photos of the weathering.
At first glance it may seem over done, but its going to be in the bog, abandoned by the crew the previous Autumn, so's suffered the ravages of a Russian winter.
The final will be set in the bog in the spring/summer. Still to do a few markings, just the Red Star and a final coat of mat varnish when its complete.
A couple with the Beast in the bog, unfinished of course.
Comments welcome.

Hi John
I'm with Peter - not over done at all. If I was left out over a Russian winter I think I'd look a bit rough!!
Gonna be another cracking dio.
