Quick update

Just some photos.

Firstly the rocket carrier. The first rail for a rocket is now on along with the boxes for the fins. In hindsight I could have fitted another rail but there would not be anywhere to put the fins anyway. The fins will be done on a light green with the main body in Dark Green 82.

Have added a turret fron the dpares box and eventually will add a night sight. I now have turret steps in wire added to replace the solid plastic steps of

the kit which were awful.

Below are some photos for the rail construction on the rocket carrier.

Just got this from Book Depository – much cheaper than local $85 vs $125 and packed well.

That the price includes postage is great.

On the right is the KV2 Munition schlepper with some of the storage bay for the rocket fins started on the front right.

On the left is the Stug KV2 version.

Both kits are in the process of having the tracks added. This is by far the hardest part of the kit to make it look half decent. I now do this on the bottom but there is lots of stretching and tweaking to get it right. I do not like one piece rubber band tracks.

This one is now finished. The turret is a resin conversion for a Panther tank from a time before the Dragon kit. The turret hole only needed a little widening to make it fit. The turret was done a year ago for a Panther kit which had 2 resin Flak turrets so it was good to give this one a permanent home. Weathering is many layers with various paints and pigments.
