And the left side of the turret. I should have cut the film on the upper-right corner of the Maltese cross as it should be tucked up under the smoke launcher guard rail. sigh
And now the right side of the turret and the license plate on the rear of the hull.
Just 2 more decals left and on to the final assembly. Just noticed I haven’t painted the convoy light! Bugger!
More progress on my walker. Quite satisfied although I would have wished more contrast to the base color, but this will have to do 
More to follow……
Darn, that camo is cool.
I am calling this done!
Thanks, Ron. It is decals for Green stuff world. Very nice quality decals.
Gary, no washes or weathering on the Leo 1 - or are you going with factory fresh?
I might put a wash on but no weathering. I build kits as if they were in my own private museum.
@gary, very cool 
Ten weeks later, I finally assembled my Panzer IV E.
This painting experiment was another failure. Sitting on the desk, the model resembles a boring, dark gray brick. When photographed, it looks crazy.
The tank now needs tow cables and some additional detail painting.
There’s lots of excellent chipping work going on with the paint Doug, I like the contrast in the picture. That may be just a dust wash or filter away from looking fantastic.
I think you’ve got a great starting point on which to work your magic.
I’m sure it’s the perfect base for a really good result.
Watto. 
Great work guys. I have been away for a month and for some reason I could not log into Armorama on my ipad whilst I was away, which is why I have not checked in earlier.
@Gary_Kato Gary, nice recovery after the decal issue. The Leo looks great. If I may I make one suggestion, the rear lights are half orange and half red on the Leopard (and most German designed vehicles). Also the fitting next to it has a red centre:
@Damraska . Doug, I think you are being harsh on yourself. As the other guys said, you have a good place to start a bit more detail specific weathering.
A very thin wash (Filter) would also help shift the shade. Moisten the panel first, then add a very, very thinned colour in places and let it flow into the moistened area. You may need to use a clean wet brush to tease it out a bit to stop a tide mark from forming. The idea is not to add a single wash layer over the whole panel, but subtly shift some parts without having a sharp definition where it was done and where it wasn’t.
If you do some dark black-brown pin washes around the details, it would help break up and define the sections better.
Doug. Here is how my Bulgarian Renault R35 looks with just a bit of selected panel wash and darker pin wash:
The orange part is the indicator, very handy for when your crossing through the fields towards the enemy 
As far as I know they must have indicators and rear view mirrors for when they are using the public roads…
Good thing I haven’t clear coated it yet. Will add the red. Also got some Tamiya Black Panel Wash and might try that out on the Leopard as well.
Well, I went overboard with the Wash. It now looks a bit like Tammy Faye Baker. But I had fun with it and don’t regret it.
I have finished my walker. Quite a relief - cannot even remember how old it was when it went to the unfinished pile.
Very satisfied with the overall result. Only issue was that to allow the turret to turn I had to add a socket magnet. Now it works perfectly and the gun just clears the legs when turning the turret.
Well done Jesper, looks like a neat build & pretty well detailed as well. Really like the finished paint scheme too, it looks good on the bare metal backing
Cool looking thing!
Well done.
Excellent Jesper. The lozenge type camo really suits this vehicle. Good to see another across the line.
Thanks, guys. Thanks for the feedback. Great to get it done
Nice finish, @SGTJKJ ! Walker looks super cool.
My jagdpanther got some attention recently. As kit is old, details not so good and decals yellowed I went total scifi with it.
Using hataka orange series paints I decided to go a fictional late war splinter 3-color camo ( totally random). To spice up a little bit I went with hull red primer & dunkelgrau on gun.
Decals are probably from Tamiya’s 
.
Time to get this cat a little bit dirty
