This little dio was pretty much one of the first things that I posted here at the Planet but it was only as a how to on the base [
in the Finishing section]. So I thought that I would finally V-Bench it with all the photo's that I didn't include in the SBS. This will be 'old hat for some of you so sorry in advance!
This kit was fairly new when I built it and I was very impressed with the amount of options that Dragon provided. The kit comes with 3 different muzzle breaks for the various versions throughout the war. A Aluminium turned barrel and a plastic one. Two sets of rubber tyres - new and damaged. The damaged ones look great as they have chunks out of the rubber, moulded in.
Dragon also give you the option of 3 different wheel hub patterns. There are also brass and plastic shells, ammo boxes and cylinders as well as a full Fallschirmjager crew. The decal sheet is also good giving you the printing for the ammo cases [nice touch] as well as the shells.

Once I had built the kit and the base I did a test fit-- fits ok.
The rubble I use comes from two mixes.
1. VP tiles and bricks.
2. A mix of plaster debri, ground up bricks [real] and small stones from the road outside my house.
The second mix is good for an overall cover while the VP stuff I use sparingly where I need crisp detail to show.
..
The final touch is with some [unused] Cat Litter, I filter for the really small ones.
I then started base coating the PAK as well as the base at this point

After the base had been rendered to the point where I could add the model and other details I proceeded to do some touch ups such as the addition of the painting, it needed rubble.

well that's it for the moment as photobucket seems to be offline or something.
