1/48 Zaku II - Part 5

Time to do some work on the hip joints & lower skirt. The main section is just two pieces with two poly caps to fit the side skirts to.  This was filled, sanded & primed with Duraluminium.

then allowed to dry fully followed by fine coats of U.K. Azure Blue as the second blue shade I’m using. 
 While the armour dried I went back to the hips & using “Metal Color” Steel, Burnt Iron, copper & Ammo Of Mig Brass on some of the fixing points & recesses to bring out the details. 
Two more poly caps went in the front of the unit & the painted front armour.

 The rear armour just pushed into place & following the same detailing as the legs used small amounts of Gun Metal Grey in the recesses.
