Dragons Kugelblitz

I started this about 9 years ago and i have finally decided to dig it out and finish before the end of this year. I have included all the old progress pics leading up to the work I have done on it over the last week or so...

Nice one Jugs
Always did like the Kugelblitz, watching this one with interest.

Primed and ready for colour....



That's my Autoblinda also primed and ready....

Well the factory applied Red Oxide Primer is on - this is an actual Red Oxide Primer from Fentons that I used....

And now the first few splashes of colour and initial weathering....

Started the weathering now....

Fully painted up with a Humbrol gloss clear coat ready for desals and final wash...

The chassis is complete and can now be set aside awaiting wheels, tracks and guns....

Well the long weekend allowed me some building time.....

Dude....................amazing!

I am envious!! Great skill on the weathering!!

I'm curious about the kit, what exactly is that double barrel affair? AAA?

Hey Snowy, thanks for the comment. Yup it's a prototype AA that was developed right at the end of the war. There were only 3 or 4 of these completed vehicles, based on refurbished Pz IVG chassis. They know for a fact that at least one was in action against the Russians in Hungary because many years after the war they found a wrecked ball turret in a Hungarian forest near Budepest. It is believed that the Ruskies had in fact captured a complete vehicle and this was used to develop the Shilka AA system.

OK enough is enough. This project is now officially 10 years WIP!!!!! I am stating here and now, in public  that, that by no later than Sunday evening at 9 PM 31 August 2014  - this sucker will be complete!

 
GO FOR IT JUGS, YOU CAN DO EEEET
