Weathering was accomplished using a combination of MIG washes, oils, and pigments. The parts fit for the interior was a bit off in a few areas, but otherwise this was a good kit that could use some aftermarket interior goodies.

Befehlsjäger 38 Ausf.M by Gary Boggs
The 1:35 Dragon Smart Kit Befehlsjäger 38 Ausf.M (Marder III) by Gary Boggs was built mostly out of the box with the exception of interior items. The radio wiring is scratch-built as is the ammo rack frame. The model is painted with Tamiya acrylics (Dark Yellow, Red Brown, NATO Green), using an Iwata HP-CS for the base, and freehand with an Iwata High Performance HP-B for the camo.

1:48 Spitfire Mk.II by Gary Boggs
After a Spring and Summer hiatus, we're back with some new posts!
We'll get things rolling for September with the aging 1:48 scale Revell Spitfire Mk.II by Gary Boggs. Gary reports that the kit was rough around the edges with numerous fit issues and canopy challenges, but with patience, blood, sweat, and tears (and might I say talent!) he was able to pull off another stunner... although with wings instead of tracks this time!
Gary built the model box stock and painted it with Tamiya acrylics. Finishing and weathering were achieved using MIG Dark Wash and a small amount of MIG Smoke Pigments. The aerial was created using nylon sewing thread.
Stay tuned for a few more from Gary over the coming weeks... and maybe even one from the site author! :)

Syrian T-62 Mod.1972 by Gary Boggs
This is the 1/35th scale Trumpeter kit of the T-62 Mod.1972, built 90 % out of the box with added fuel lines and a bit of scratch work here and there - but no aftermarket kits or additions.
The model was painted using an Iwata airbrush and Tamiya acrylic paints. The model was washed and weathered with oils, MIG pigments, and AK Interactive products.
