I used two 1/72 scale WWII German JagdPanzer model kits made by a company called Dragon. I got them at my local Hobbytown USA The front track assemblies are the entire chassis of one tank?except the turret?cut in half length-wise. The back track assemblies required me to cut the chassis apart and rebuild them in a new configuration; in essence, build a new chassis.

thank you so much

Tramp, that is amazing!!!

I'm a painting idiot, though - what's drybrushing?

<-- was a fan of the bulk from the start, btw

Drybrushing is a technique where yo lightly dip the tip of your brush into the paint, then, wipe off almost all of it until the brush is almost completely dry, then lightly brush the model with the dry brush, applying only trace amounts of pigment on the raised surfaces of the model, leaving the recesses?which usually have a darker base coat?untouched
