I sprayed dark yellow over the flat brown.

 

[sunsanvil]

Is that the Tamiya XF-60? I ask because I love the look of it but it doesn't look like the usual dark yellow. Might just be the white balance of your photos is off a bit. Seems like it has the slightest touch of pea green to it.

Gorgeous build regardless.

 

[Glorfindel]

Looks great. Excellent approach on rusting.

 

[MaschinenKrueger]

XF-60 has a greenish look to it. There are threads and web sites dedicated to discussing this color.

It's generally not considered an accurate match for Dunklegelb any longer. Too dark and too green.

 

[MrT]

It does make a good base color if you plan to do modulation or panel shading. I like to shade from dark to light.

Thanks all!

Terry, another excellent build!!! I like your method used on the rust details, the results look very realistic.

Thanks for sharing..........

Nice work Terry.

Nice work Terry.

Thanks Ken!

Work continues on the StuG, but I have to say I don't like the way this kit is to be assembled. With all these different assemblies alignment will be tricky. Fenders, rear deck, front upper hull, and crew compartment have been worked on. Here are some views of the progress.

Terry ;D

 

[MaschinenKrueger]

if you are having alignment problems, trim off those tabs on the edges of the hull sides. These are for ejecting the part. Some instructions show these being trimmed off. Others don't.

Thanks that's a good idea!

Nice work. Looks like you got the tow cable length correct. I nerfed it on mine.
