You can count me in as well. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Great looking progress on this. I like the weathered launch tubes

Getting there...it comes with vinyl tracks and individual link tracks. Of course, the masochist in me chose the later...

If it's not too late, I don't believe that the rounds should be protruding from their launch tubes like that... at most maybe slightly...

I meant to ask previously but what paint are you using on the exterior?

I'm liking what you're doing with the interior already Castel. What did you do to acheive the whitewashed look in there?

Well...it is too late ![:|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/plain.png) . The instructions say the rockets should protrude 7mm so that is what I did. But I do agree, now that you mentioned.

Exterior is Tamiya's dark yellow. Then I mixed some ground black chalk with water, added a drop of dish soap, mixed it up to create some sludge. Add some more water or dip the brush into the sludge and then into water to dilute it. Either way, if it is too black its easy to remove with clean wet brush or paper towel.

Its a bit of a mess...I had some Tamiya's gloss white and the LHS is closed at the moment so i didn't go to buy flat white. So I mixed Tamiya's light grey with the gloss white in an attempt to reduce the glossiness, then used a bit of drybrushing and sponge for chipping using metallic grey and covered it all with the above described sludge.

Looks like that homemade concoction did the trick.

But I do agree, now that you mentioned. I had to look it up... it's the tails of the rockets that protrude from the launch tubes... ![](https://tank-afv.com/ww2/germany/photos/Bundesarchiv_Bild_Nordeuropa_Panzerwerfers_43_reloading.jpg)
