Like most Dragon kits there was a lot of work in building the Tauchpanzer, the most pain for me are the magic tracks. These “Tauchpanzer’s” or “dive panzer’s” were build for crossing a river ( or the last piece of the english chanel at first ) over the bottom with the long tube on it for fresh air. The cart with extra fuel meant that they could go longer without refueling.

The build went well for most parts.  After that Tamiya German grey was the colour of choice.  After that a high gloss was sprayed followed by decals and another layer of high gloss. That gives a good base for weathering, which was done with a darkbrown oilpaint mixed with some black to give it a wash and dept.  Also some small damage points were made but not to heavy.  After that I took some earth coloured paints to give the Tauchpanzer a dusty look.

Thanks for looking, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate asking!
