Finally finished this beast of a kit after three months of building on and off. The kit isn’t bad there were a few fitting issues but nothing wild that can’t be worked. The parts being 1/16 made detail painting easy. I started off with a primer of tamiya rattle can and then used ak interactive red oxide. I followed this up with ammo migs dunkagelb dark yellow to give it a base and used dunkagelb mid war as the main color. I sprayed it on lighter on the lower hull to give some disparity in shading, the green is olivgrun from ammo Mig as well. I have it a wash from master touch oil paints burnt umber then followed up worn a dark wash on detail parts such as welds, hand tools and crevices. I finished up with a streaking grime effect on the upper case mate as well as on a few spots of the lower hull. I have a 1/16 dragon crew member I’ll build next to add to the kit.
I went with the gross Deutschland division markings from Kursk to finish out the kit. The marking options were plentiful but most primarily around the summer of 43.
