Techmod Panzer II Ausf L

I finally completed this kit. It wasnt the greatest build but it came out OK after a little fidling with parts. Instructions werent perfect and many parts didnt have an alignment point so some research was necessary. I didnt find much on the L.

As usual my glue formula of Tenax and MEK worked well on the plastic. This is the first kit where I was forced to use some photoetched parts. I am still getting used to that media as a major component and not just a replacement of a kit part. I added some various plastic and resin stowage to the  completed kit.

I painted with my standby mixtures of Model Master Enamals for a light blue gray base. I then Filtered  with dark oil mixture of black and burnt umber. This helped darken the tint. Added decals and hand painted thhe stowage. After several dull coats, I then heavily weathered the whole thing.  More dullcoating and final pinwashing. I set in a small base with a little groundwork mixing some plaster with Sculptamold, artist acrylic dork brown paint. While the muddy mixture was drying I pushed in the foliage and stones.
