Thank you Vincent :)

To quote a famous Scotsman from the future:

It's green!

This was also the first time I used Raoul's old compressor which he had given to me as a housewarming gift. My immediate reaction was somewhat like this. :lol:

Okay, enough pop culture references for today :P

Turret numbers on:

I went with 3 instead of 7 because the latter has some weirdly shaped front fenders (see photo in my first post). Otherwise the tanks were similar. I don't have suitable decals so I used Eduard spray masks instead. Thankfully I have enough Balkenkreuz decals...but detail painting fist.

I did some detail painting followed by sponge chipping, then added a few Balkenkreuze from my well stocked spares box (which is actually an old cookie tin :lol: )

The lagging around the exhaust pipes has come up OK Philipp, a wash and maybe a dry brush and it will look fab!

Thanks Adam :)

I'll give it a light drybrushing. The rest of the exhaust will need a little more weathering as well.

Some of you guys are making the rest of us look bad, who don't finish any builds.
