Last night I decided to add weld lines to the periscope-parts of the cupola too, only to find out the AA MG-ring has welds too haha! Once you start... :wink:

I like to apply a filter to all surfaces, slightly changing the color but also working as a wash.
The engine plate left is done, the turret roof right not.

By taking that photo I found I need way more weld-lines haha!

Quick test with some sort of pinwash.

And I'm afraid it might interfere with the perfectly smooth turning turret I have right now.
Hi Marco
How much did this set you back for in price wise?

Built in the Benedini Mini Sound System with amplifier and two car speakers. WAY better sound then the Tamiya DMD-unit!

2 speakers, one in the front one in the rear. Great sound! Pretty loud haha!

Took all the fenders of, sanding all the rust off, priming them and finally respraying them in Dunkelgelb.

Hahaha 43rdRecceReg! :-)

The end result was a LOT of cleaning. Even dog poo. :'(

Almost completely stripped now so I can sand everything and repaint...
