Thanks Max. It has been sometime since I was messing with models, but thankfully I airbrush for a living. Still a ways to go.

I see you are from Drammen. I am teaching an airbrush class there this Feb at Airsupply Co in Drammen. I am looking forward to some Aass Beer. :)

Hey, lovely work on your panther, the hard edged two turn camo looks brilliant! Weatherings spot on too. Might try something similar when I rebuild mine.

Thanks Tom. The two tone came was done with a loose shield cut with a few angles in it.

Today I got the wheels painted and some weathering. I was able to figure out how it all went back together. :D Perhaps the greatest of all feats so far. I started on the chipping and will give it a matte coat to knock it all back then add some more paint details. I have a KV1 showing up here on Monday...and found two used beat up Tigers for real cheap. This has been a lot of fun so far. I was really worried about all of the connections. I had a hang up for a while with the elevation servo bottoming out on the side of the turret base opening. Once I figure that it was causing a few different issues, I was able to get things functioning again. Thank you all for the encouragement.
