Very cool! That's a lot of parts on the suspension.

Thank you Mike, Like most Dragon kits a lot of parts.
Got the windows put into the top section of the hull.

Something that would be easy to miss, the instructions don't tell you to add the 2cm. ammo rack to the side of the hull, the locating tabs are on the hull side for it. It's also something that can be seen through the open top.

The only after market part I'm using on this build is this Master Model turned brass barrel

The gun mount got the PE shield added, the PE gun sight was all messed up on the fret. Luckily I went through my extra parts and found another one.

I always liked the look of the open turrets with the mesh tops and this is the first time of me doing one. I ran a bead of solider down the joint of each one and cleaned them up and finally added some filler to smooth it all out. Here is right after solider.

Last to share is a whole bunch of subassemblies on my styrofoam holder that have been primed with Tamiya fine grey primer.

Next up is getting the airbrush out and finally getting some paint down on the interior.
Thanks for looking in!
SKOL!

Re: 1/35th Dragon Sd.Kfz. 234/1
My goodness, lotsa stuff going on. Looking good!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Clint, just joining the party now. A great ride so far. Very very nice solder work on the photoetch pieces; very clean and tight, regardless of scale. Painting looks sweet, too. What paints, what psi are you using?

Re: 1/35th Dragon Sd.Kfz. 234/1
Thank you Bruce! always glad to have you along. The black on the tires and also used for preshading is Tamiya Nato Black and the red is AK Real Color RAL8012 Rotbraun. Both are thinned to 4 parts paint to 6 parts thinner and sprayed at 18psi.
