I added few welds, brackets, and couple of straps on the fenders.
Wheels sanded to give them more used look.
I have also detailed the seat.

2 cm Flak 38 mit Sd.Ah.51 work started
Work started on the 20mm Flak 38, which will be towed by the Kettenwagen.
The kit of choice was the DML one.
First impression is good, but there`s few things here, and there, which need to be addressed.
First, the welds on the base of the gun were remade, as Dragon placed the injection pins bang in the middle of the welds. I used the Squadron green putty for the job.
The seat was made from scratch, as the kit seat is too narrow, and of funny shape.

"Shallow crossing" water effects
After the water has cured completely it was time to make the wave in front of the car.
Im using the Water Effects from Woodland Scenics.
When applied the wave is of white color, but with time it will become transparent.
Here it is after 24 hours from application.

Im still waiting for the water to cure on the "Shallow crossing" diorama, so decided on adding few bits, and pieces to the Kettenwagen tractor.
First in line was the 3T jack, which was scratch built from the pictures.

"Shallow crossing"- water
Im using "Realistic Water" from Woodland Scenics.
Due to its shrinking it will require more than few layers to get this right.
After the first layer i glued few birch seeds on the bottom of the river to represent last years fall.
After second layer it looks like so. No leaks, and no discoloration- water is perfectly clear- nice.
Lets build up more layers now, and get some depth.
