Right, new MG42 & Jerrycans from WelshDragon painted, just sorting photos out for posting. Go easy fellas, it's been a while since I used a brush in anger, lol!

Looking forward to seeing these pics mate

Progress so far...

Done great job with the painting, looks great. I also just got one of these torro king tigers and after looking through your posts i also bought nice ariel from welshdragon models.

Cheers Brett. I can't recommend WelshDragon highly enough for kit, service and response.

Yes have also added 2nd rx18 unit and cooler to stop annoying jerk recoil, also from welshdragon, great service and prices.

I have just ordered a metal tow cable to replace the plastic one. Can't say enough about how good WelshDragon are. Having a lot of fun doing this, although assembling, painting and dry brushing the MG42 was a labour of love! Need new fingers/nervous system!!!

I'd really like to spray mine in grey and add some zimmerite, but need to get some spray gear and do some reading up on some guides before i do so.
How easy was it to remove all the cables etc before painting

The cables popped off quite easily, even though I wasn't going to use them again. I used a Badger 200 and it was simple and straightforward. Took some getting used to the can freezing up though, but apart from that operator error, was good fun.

Cheers shane i will look the badger up, maybe pick one up from local hobbycraft, add some zimmerite and spray it in gray and add some barrels and fuel containers to back.
But was a bit naughty and also bought taigen full metal hand painted tiger 1, so missus not happy with me at moment, said i spend far too many beer tokens this month, lol.
