Hobby Link International 2022 Armor GB Panzer II

Got the tub, road & idler wheels done. 

Getting the lower hull done while listening to some awesome tunes!! 

Getting some work done on the upper hull while listening to one of my favorite artists! 

Upper and lower hulls finally together. Front view. 

Upper and lower hulls finally together. Rear view. 

Left track on. Realizing now it would have been a tad bit easier to assemble the top/fwd track if I had done it prior to gluing the Upper Hull on! 

It was a messy struggle. And my airbrush fought me every step of the way but I managed to get some primer on this tank! 

Far from done but I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. 

Won't have to worry about a complicated camo pattern on this kit! 

Got the rest of the parts primered. Tracks were primered in a different color is all. 

Finally got some more paint on it! 

Road wheels and a few other items. 

The main hull, turret, commander's hatch, mantlet and fender ends. 

Should have painted the tire rubber color before shooting the wheels! That's OK - not too worried about paint build up. Got the tracks done in Gunmetal. A few more odds and ends to paint and it will be a matter of assembly & weathering. 

Taken this last weekend. Just mocked up for now but the majority of the bits are finally painted. Now for some glosscote & weathering. 

Got some gloss cote over most of it so I can get the decals on and start the weathering. Not going to be too heavy on the dirt & rust, early in the French Campaign these tanks were relatively new. 

Slowly getting there. 

Getting some weathering. 

Final stretch - still have to paint the figure. 

Getting there... 

Finishing up the tracks. For whatever reason, I had to add one link one each side to get them to fit. Pretty sure it was my fault! 

Besides a couple of major mistakes on my part, it is coming out alright! 

The back side, still have a few more pieces to add.
