The Sherman has come a bit further than the Jagdpanter. I have the tracks in place (but not weathered), It was clear coated with Future, then decals applied, then Future-d again to seal the decals.
In the last day or so I have done a couple of filters with Windsor and Newton Yellow Ochre oil, I was thinking that the shading on the tank came out a bit dark so I wanted to lighten it. I tested a dot filter on the bottom, but either wiped off too much or it just didn't work. In any event, I filtered it three times in the last few days.
Today I was experimenting with pin washes to highlite detail, using AK interactive Dark Brown Wash for Green Vehicles (AK-045). CHeck weld lines and any edge or raised lines to see the effect.
Oh Yes, and I wanted to try some chipping. However, since this particular tank would have only been in service for less than two months at this point (Late July/Early Aug 44 - Normandy), I didn't want to go overboard. Check out the driver/loader sponsons.
Next up is to do some shading on some areas that get heavy use (around turret and hatches), I will try using a dark blue oil in a wash/filter method.
Have a look, I welcome feedback... all kinds...
