Yes John, the tracks came with instructions, but not really that good ones. Luckily I found an excellent YouTube video showing precisely what is written in the "instructions", helped a lot.

Good Lord!!!! You're a better man than me Kari.

Slowly but surely.. work continues with painting the wheels, using for the first time AK Real Colors paint.
I must say, works well, very satifisfied!

To "mask" the wheels, I use a circle shablon, which really makes the work easy!




I blackbased these all these parts and I am pretty happy with the sort of "uneven" color layer. Depending how "heavy" the weathering will be, all that might just vanish in the end.. Still some wheels left to be primed and painted

I also started the work with the Excellent Friulmodel white metal tracks, will post some pics of that task in near future.
Can only say, if I ever build another vehicle with tracks, I will not even "look at" anything else than After Market tracks, preferrably Friulmodel.

Let's see what next!

It's looking great, aftermarket tracks are the best way to go.

Great work on the wheels! The masking idea is brilliant... I guess it really helps when there are so many wheels to paint!

Thanks John, indeed, it really made the task quite enjoyable!

And meanwhile.... The Jagdpanther starts to get its camouflage...
Slowly but surely, that is the name of the game...

I am very satisfied with AK Real colors, sprays very nicely!
(but not that satisfied with the camo as such)
