Panzer 1A (DAK) by Stew Langenbeck

This build combines the Tristar Panzer 1A Early with ModelKasten tracks and Tristar's Early/Late boxing that contained an interior. Neither kit had turret weld seams or vision port detail so pieces from a Dragon kit were used to fill those gaps.  Stew was sorry he didn't begin with the Dragon kit from the beginning since he couldn't deal with the ModelKasten tracks and the rubber band tracks in the Dragon kit would have sufficed. 


Voyager and the Tristar kit photoetch parts were used.


A generic desert camo color was mixed and roughly hand painted over Tamiya German Grey followed by filters, pin washes, and sand and dust weathering...and Stew thinks he'll never again be sorry to see rubber band tracks after dealing with the tiny Modelkasten independent link tracks.
