VK4501(p) The Dragon kit has been modified with a Revell Tiger I turret and a coating of Zimmerit

The dragon engine vents are backwards so they have been cut out and new louvers added then finished with etched grills

Trumpeter suspension units and inner road wheels have been used to allow the dragon outer wheels to sit well back against the track guide horns.

Now ready for etch and gun barrels

The etch arrived, the brass fenders are amazing the tread pattern is great well worth the money

All my models get a turned barrel, its got to be done these days they look so much better over the plastic offerings

This is my first model to feature the new Aber turned machine gun, you can see yourself top class part

Part etch really lifts the model

All the etch and details have been added to the model and it is now ready at long last for paint.

I have applied the base three tone camo scheme with my airbrush.

The flat Paintwork will now have to be broght to life.

An oil wash followed by dry brush highlighting should bring this camo scheme to life.

Once the base camo had been weathered. I will pick out all the tools ect.

Weathering and highlights have now been applied to the base three tone to give the flat paint some life.

Towing cables have been painted allong with the tools.

Decals were carfully applied with loads of Microsol and Klear to prevent silvering.

The kit decals are too large, instead I used decals from the Dragon Elephant kit.
