I was looking forward to doing this Jagdpanther in Dark Yellow because I thought it had more possibilities for expanding my finish techniques, with regard to washes, filters, streaking and just taking my work to a new level.
While I can think of things I could have done better, I was not disappointed with what this kit had to offer to help me develop new skills.
I used AK interactive products, including Dark Wash, Dark Streaking Grime, and Rust Effects for the finish. I used Vallejo German Camo Brown for the chipping, Winsor and Newton Yellow Ochre for initial wash and my old stand by - Krylon Camouflage Brown rattle can for the tracks.
I used Mig Pigments dried mud on the track and Bragdon Net pigments (light and dark mud) each in a slurry with 70% Iso Alcohol for the mud spatters on the wheels, and front/rear hull.
Its not the best work in the hobby world, but it is one of my best to date. I liked how it turned out, I liked what I learned and will try to take that to the next kit I do.
I offer you Dragon Kit 6494 Jagdpanther G (early) w/Zimmerit. This example built to replicate a vehicle from s.H.Pz.Jg.Abt 654 on the Western Front in 1944.
