Superb Carl,

This is not an easy kit and it will be a beauty.

From what I can see, all Pz 38(t) seems to have been in simple panzer grey color.

For some variation, what could be cool is a Girls und Panzer scheme.

Good stuff fellas I think I will do a grey and dunkelgelb variant that I researched online. During the summer months in Russia some were completely done in dunkelgelb...

What I do like is how the paint brings out all the details and the rivets and bolts on the hull.
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Today I did a dry fit reassembly of the tracks road wheels return rollers and sprockets. I put a few coats of Tamiya NATO black for the road wheels tires. I plan on setting this panzer up in my display cabinet in my office until the balance of the parts needed arrive.

Although the barrel in the kit is aluminum it's only mounted for display purpose at this time. Ive still have to assemble the deck tools and photo etched brackets so that will be my next step.Image

Until next time.....ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
