[Stormbringer]

Hey folks
My 1st build log
Ok this arrived Friday afternoon



!st job get it out box and check all working
then started applying the decals and painting up some of the metal extra bits


also fitted the bucket (what that is used for i have no idea)

Gloss varnished where the Pedinghause water slide decals will go


fitted the mesh grills and carried the camo screen over onto them

Painted up the plastic parts that needed painting The fire extinguisher and the C tow shackles ? were painted olive drab








Will continue this after i get the metal roadwheels and suspension arms from Forgebear tanks

Very cool! I do like the Jagdpanther. Mine was my first project with a build log too

[Stormbringer]

Cheers mate but it wont be like yours and others on here build logs tho lol
It will be a rather pedestrian build

[Stormbringer]

Im in a bit of a quandray about what colour/colours do the wheels
was thinking 3 shades green working along hull or could do a tri colour as in my king tiger

what you guys think ?

"It will be a rather pedestrian build." That's alright by me! Most of mine are just so, too.

Well Alan, those 3 color roadwheels from your KöTi look damn good!
Could you show me some pics from your KöTi with all those wheels on?

You could do it on this JaPa too, or just leave the roadwheels in the green color with some aging and/or a bit of sand/mud here and there.

[Rob59]

Thanks Alan!
Looks very good!
Now lets make them dirty…….
Rob.

After I answered I noticed your post with the link to the altered roadwheels.
Much better, good job!

About your JaPa, any plans adding Schürzen?
I did saw them out of aluminum with brackets out of brass.
But….if you want the easy way, on Ali Cool Bank offers a complete set of very thin, aluminum Schürzen with plastic hangers.
I do have another set from Cool Bank Schürzen on one of my Panzer IV‘s.
Nice alternative to home made stuff.

Cheers mate
I really do fancy doing the schurzen do you have a link to them ?
on the KoTi I used black weathering powder dry brushed on and then gave the wheels a wash of red brown followed by a couple of coats of matt varnish to seal them
