Painting the inside

The inside of the is bare of details. I'm sure ther's more in a StuG IV than offered by Dragon. But it must be sufficeint for what can be seen through the hatches.

A few details for the pilote area would have been fine, and may have allowed me to put the hatch opened

Looking good Lionel,nice interior. You know I've never built a Stug yet,shocking I'll have to get on it🙂

That's the usual problem. We're always looking for the odd one, and we finally never build the usual and numerous ones, like the StuG.
And even if I'm building a StuG, it's not even the more numerous StuG III

Thanks

Thank you! But awesome is probably too much a word for my feeble attempt at weathering the inside 😉

I've just added the in progress pictures of the painting of the exhaust. I want to paint it used, battered, but not as a whole piece of iron who spent 50 years in the ground.
I was probably a little heavy-handed on the dunkelgelb, but it looks almost as I intended

See you

Album info

First, assembly of the parts, then I primed them with Alcals white primer.
The basic coat for the Elfenbein is the corresponding paint by WEM. WEM paint was used for the Oxide rot too.

I post-shaded the paint with Humbrol 41 and Lifecolor italian Rosso Minio. I was lucky, these 2 paints are direct highlight of the WEM paints. it's always nice not to have to mix paint.

Then a little Lifecolor Damp dust pigment on the floor, and too much Lifecolor tensocrom smoke on the walls and gun to dirty them. It made a very dirty interior, probably too dirty. If i'm not bas at painting clean vehicles, I have much to learn about how to weather vehicles...
