Cheers guys. The rivets indeed was painful for the eyes. Now I have finished adding the zimmeret to the turret. Next step is to add any other small details. Keep posted for more.

Thank you. Well I've managed to spray a coat of black primer on the upper hull and turret. I'm struggling to get the wheels off to paint the base. Guess I shall just have to work around them. Next step is priming the base and then going from there.

Hi Have a look at the Late king tiger build for priming road wheels. Fast and catches the inner road wheels.

Huzzah. I managed to get the drive wheels off. Still fighting with the main wheels. I feel this may be a lost cause. Oh well. I'll manage. Still debating a colour scheme for the beast. Open to suggestions.

Does this mean you are going to buy the Schumo Cupola MG Mount?
If so be aware that it needs a lot of work to get it right.

I actually have the DKLM one in the stash. So I was thinking of using that for saving it for the panzer iv.

So stage one of painting is done. I still need to add the sand coloured stripes. Then onto the fun part detail painting and weathering. Still need to paint the tub and the turret. Just working on the top hull right now.
