In order to get something new on my vBench before the next My Bloody Valentine album comes out (...) and to prove that I actually paint these things, here's what's been causing me greif lately:
The reason it's been causing me greif is that this is the third attempt at painting it, and I'm still not entirely happy with the pattern... on top of that I had to try out a new dunkelgelb mixture in acrylic as I'm moving away from spraying enamels these days.
The pattern is based on the MNH striped pattern which can be seen on some Ardennes Panther Gs; I had to make some educated guesses as to the pattern on the hull roof, and decided to take a few liberties along the way as well. I'll be marking it as 5 Kp. II./Pz.Regt. 130, after the Pz. Lehr vehicle KO'ed in Neffe in Pallud's
Battle Of The Bulge Then & Now, but that actual vehicle... maybe '532' or something.
The build is essentially OOB with a couple of details added, but no real corrections made. At this stage I just have to paint the Bosch headlamp dunkelgelb, clean up around the dunkelgelb air vent, and take care of some of the overspray; then it's marking and clear coat time.
