Jagdpanzer, Ardennes

I took a couple of fast snapshots to show you.

First progress on the JP!

I am planning a Ardennes dio for this one. I used the AK stencil for the camo and used oils for the first fading and streaking.

Next step is some pinewashes, chipping and give it some dirt :)

Realy appriciate your comments and thanks for follwing along!

Cheers,

Elco

Once again.. Jagdpanzer



New project on the bench, the beautiful Jagdpanzer IV/70 Kit from Dragon with some Grifion PE.

In this case pictures says more then words :)

 

Next step...? Stay tuned!

Please visit AFV News for the full update!

JagdTiger Porsche suspension part VIII

Final pics! The canvas on the roof isn't glued yet. The barrel is all done, the last dirt and wet marks are made. In the near future the JT will be featured in a diorama. Searching for right figure i fitted this Alpine figure and it is perfect for the dio.

The Alpine figure is painted with a basecoat of Vallejo and finished with artist oils.

This was a fun build, the premium kit is a very nice kit with all the extra stuff you want, ofcourse you can go balistic on more PE and other update sets but with the stuff out of the premium box and Friul tracks you have a nice kit.

I tried to keep this build subtile as possible but with the necessary look of a used verhicle.

 Thank's for following and till next time!

JagdTiger Porsche suspension part VII

Another one.. tracks are done. I used the Ushi von Rosten track burnish so i don't had to paint the tracks. This is a quik way to give the right color to the Friuls. Just be carefull with this toxic stuff. I only use it outside and with latex gloves on.

After the treathment make sure you clean tthe tracks with enough water and vinegar to stop the chemical process.

For the rest of the weathering i used AK products for the dirty and worn look.

What do you do if your not happy about some things..right you change them. During the weathering process and study reference pics i saw that i forgot to add weldingmarks on the kugelblende.  I took the risk to add it anyway and blend it in with the rest of the JT.

Because this worked fine i also add welds on the reardeck for extra detail.

 

And some pics with the tracks just because it's looks brutal:)

 

 

 

 

 

Next weathering of the tracks!
