KO JagdPanzer Hungary 3

I  finished the Magic Tracks, I got them out my sparebox and are perfect for this build. They are easy to work with and give the look i wanted. I already did the short track and finished the right side with a full track. I gave the right side the look of shortage of the right spareparts by giving it different roadwheels.

I would like to share some pictures of late war verhicles who had a quik repair ( like the JP i am building )so they can move on. It is interesting too see that there wasn't more time then a quik field repair to keep the material moving. Also a shortage of spareparts and withdraw leave the units no other choise then these odd solutions.

KO JagdPanzer Hungary

Hi! Back again, after moving to our new place i couldn't resist to open a box and build something. My hobby room isn't ready yet so i can't paint at this moment

I decided to build the old Dragon's JP, a terrible kit but perfect for what i want. It had to made lot's of changes, cutting, sanding to create the right look besides the structure i made in the panzer plates.

I was inspired by a photo i saw from this knocked out JP in Hungery from the well know Mirko on ML.

picture Mirko Bayerl, ML forum.

Specs:

-Dragon's old command version Jagdpanzer kit

-Dragon magic tracks
-Alu barrel
-Trumpeter's Bergepanzer engine
-PE from the spare box and some scratch build stuff.

The build must represent the last fight for this JP that is already beaten up but still on the move until it is finaly knocked out..

Someone pointed out that the axels with missing wheels aren't correct, so i remove the mounting hubs and drill them out like the picture below (Thnx Eddy!)

Season Greetings!

Hi folks, i know there wasn't much to do at the AM blog. Moving to our new house took a lot of time and were still busy with it! Other stuff needs priority before i can unpack all my modeling stuff and settle in my new room. For now i picked up a box and do some minor work at the dinertable in the livingroom :)

Still got some models that need to be finished next year and i got myself a great project ( my build of the year as you may call it) a Dragon JagdPanther Late with a lot of AM stuff i collected trough out this year. I can't wait to start on this one soon :)

For now i wish you nice holidays with friends and family.  Respect to all who serving there country at this moment far away from home, i know the feeling, your not forgotten.!

Yup.. another Panther A Anzio

I now i now another Panther?! Yes it is! I started this one for a online contest but didn't manage it to the finish line..but hey now i am working on it i want to finish this one :)

A quik build history, the kit is the Dragon's classic Panther A Early Italy with a metal barrel, DS Tracks, Atak Zimmerit and some Eduard PE.

I want to keep the color light so the weathering "pops" out and used some colors from the AK Interaktive CM 'Dunkelgelb" set.

Weathering is done with oils and the zimmerit parts recieved a AK Interactive wash. I used Mig and AK Interactive pigment and streaking grimes/mud tones for the splashes on the roadwheels.

Well action speaks louder then words, here some pics :)

KMK Mol 2013 Belgium

Last weekend we traveled to Mol Belgium to visit the KMK show. This show is known for the high level models on the table and his specials guests. This year Mike Rinaldi and Adam Wilder gave some cool demo's that were very interesting to follow.

Next to the traders from across Europe to sell there modeling stuff all sorts of modeling clubs were present to show their skills and artworks.

" Best of Show" Volker Bembennek

Mike Rinaldi explains his oil paint rendering technique and it was sure interesting to see and hear what he means with his books. It was nice to here him explain in a relax way what he wants to achieve with his technique.

Thnx Mike for your enthusiastic way for giving the demo's was sure helpfull. When you get a change to find Mike do a demo.. grab it ;)
