I thought I'd post some progress pictures of my latest project. It's the Tamiya Wirbelwind with a few tweaks and improvements. I've added zimmerit as the chassis is from a Pz IV Ausf H. I've also replaced the "rubber band" tracks with indy-links from Dragon. Tools have had etched brass clamps added, and I've placed a 100 round 2cm ammo box from Tristar's 2cm Flak accessory set on the right hand side. I'll be using quite a few bits from this set as the project progresses - especially the spare 2cm barrels to replace the Tamiya ones.
It will be finished as a vehicle of the 1st SS Panzer Division during the Ardennes offensive, so I'll be adding a few crew figures dressed suitably warm...
The green finish to the surface? I always stipple on a dilute mix of liquid poly and squadron green putty to add a slight texture to the surface of the armour/steel plate. Otherwise the surface would be too smooth, too uniform, too unrealistic.
