[Chapter] Chapter 24 - Little bits

Chapter 24 - Little bits

Picture #1. shows a number of the little pieces that will be added to the Hornisse after the major weathering is done. This is done because with the paint thinner washes I do the plastic and glue joint are somewhat damaged and can the pieces would most likely get knocked off during the wipe back process. Image 2 is of the LionRoar PE ammo basket that replaces the item from the kit. It has been painted and will be mounted on the right side up front, above where the MG34 is mounted. Picture #3. is of the jack, improved with wire lift handles and in preliminary weathering coatings. #4 is of the interior braces that attach to the fender inside and with the side "armour". Pictures #5., 6., and 7. shows the back plate (improved with thinner evergreen plastic card), and the rear doors with the omnipresent knock out marks that seem to plague Dragon kits filled with putty. I was not too happy with the hiding power of this technique, next time I will use small circles of punched plastic. I will use wire to replace the kits handles.Image #8. is the front hatches painted out in the base colour (which will change), and the real wood jack block. 9. shows the Bosche lights, #10. some gun shield armour add-ons and 11 is part of the gun lock apparatus.
