I only have the small details to glue on and cement top part to the hull and then paint.

Free advise,

 

If you want to let the tracks sag on the wheels, there is a simple trick. Tie down on the wheels with black rope.


Simple and clean, and if you really don't like the result, just cut ithe rope loose again.

The 6 yellow arrows are knots, the red is position of the rope.

 

Works also on your Panther

Or place a Kleenex tissue over the flash if you can. Try just 1 thickness of tissue to start, add more if needed.

Thanks for the tips gents, the flash was on auto🙄.

The rest of the troops have been  primed, tunics and trousers painted and highlighted,  also the skin parts have had one coat.20211020_220334.thumb.jpg.7bf6e0c86537afd682b93418ac22e88c.jpg
