[spud]

lol jelly. The markings i chose are for StuG.Brig.901,Kharkov 1943

Mate, what a coincidence!
So the art-box of your model is set in the TOUGH battle around Kharkov early in the ´43... I think that if you are going winterketten you have to winter-camo that beetle
...
Just the same battle (if I wanted to "winterize" the model) that I found I could put "my" early Stug III G ... but I should had to "assign" my Stug to the "Totenkopf" Div because I´m not absolutely sure that the "Das Reich" or the "LSSAH" were so soon supplied with this variant of the Stug...

 

[spud]

lol yea i am going with a winter camo as soon as i sort out my airbrush

 

[spud]

well i got my W/W down and not happy with it i put two coats of chipping fluid down aned it was like it dint go down propper. so ive been trying to hide it by toning down the white. so here are some pics.

oh and yes my blu tac pulled off a decal as if things wernt bad enough..

 

[Chris S]

Looks good to me Spud . Put a very very thin wash of burnt or Raw Umber on and it will settle it down nicely ,also if you want put some dots of white oil paint on and streak them in for the washing off effect of the whitewash ......good work

Chris.

 

[spud]

Thanks Chris, i did wash over it with the Dak wash thinned down and that toned it down nicly it was much Cleaner . I do happen to have a tube of flake white hue oil paint will that be ok?, im almost done with the top half so i may do that before i finish up and do the bottom.

Im also going to use the Tracks i have black primer on them will do track rust and track wash and dark steel should make them look ok . i think....

 

[Chris S]

yip ,that'll do fine . Dont overdo it tho' ,just small dots and pull them with a damp brush untill they have nearly disappeared ,when they dry you will see them more ...so go carefully

Chris.

 

[spud]

cool ill try that
