WIP DML #6321 Hummel Late Smart Kit

I started on the Hummel since I was waiting on a paint order for the 17cm Super Tiger and was so carried away with the
build that I forgot to take any picture until I had reached this point.

Like most Smart Kits this one has been a pleasure to build but those instructions are a bit confusing in places.Thats why
the brass shrapnel deflectors were installed in the wrong place but it was easy to move them where they belonged(second pic)

A couple of views from the rear with the dry fitted components

Right now i've got to paint the interior of the casement so I can close it up and move on to the exterior.
Until then see ya later

The cartridge locker is finished up.

I also tried to make a camo net today but I think that green is just a little too bright don't you think?

Yep! Much better with that cammo net color :D
The painting beside the Mausers looks a little....granulous (sorry if this is not the right word :oops: )

I kinda wanted it to look rough because it's steel plate Dario. Should it be smooth instead?

Well I put some paint on it this morning and before anyone doubts its a real scheme the 2./s.H.Pz.Jg.Abt.560 used it on their SPGs in 1943. I saw it somewhere and thought it was very different from what everyone else was doing so I took the plunge and tried to copy what I saw. It's not perfect but it's the best I can do at this point in my career. :D
