VK72.01 (K) at the bench

Hatches, wheels and other details are painted and weathered separately; it's easier.  

 

I tape the wheels to a strip of wood adhered with a simple tape loop. The backside and edges are sprayed first with Tamiya Steel, the wheels flipped over and then painted on the front only. Finished by weathering the wheels on the tape.  

The suspension is workable; here I have attached the Friul metal tracks.  

Eagle eyed viewers will note I have the wrong tracks; these go to a Geschutzwagen. i've ordered my lowe tracks by Friul, I have an easy system which i will share soon.  

 

Simon the other Lowe, he is 1/1 scale 

 

 

The model has been airbrushed with a light coat of Tamiya Dark Yellow then splotch painted to the Sandgrau by Vallejo  

After sponge painting with Vallejo Rust Effects, I put slightly lighter coats of Vallejo Chipping effect, Tamiya Dark Iron and a little Vallejo orange rust.
