Sdkfz 184 Schwerer Jagdpanzer "Elephant"

[Peter Marshall]

Tamiya Kit, Tamiya Zimmerit, RB Barrel.

The zimmerit isn't great, would rather do it myself now, but was worth a try. Painted with Tamiya Acrylics and weathered with Oils / Pigments

Excellent Elefant 👍 long time a favorite of mine.

Looking good Peter.  During your WIP I thought the camo was a little blinding but you've toned it down nicely.  I really like the faded 3 color camo schemes

as I think they look more realistic.

A very tidy Elefant.  Nice 'faded' camo.

 

I don't think the zimmerit looks bad at all! There was a recent Elefant where the builder (sorry, I've forgotten who it was) used PE zimmerit and it looked TOO neat and tidy. The Tamiya stuff you've used has variation and to me looks much more realistic in that respect.

 

I'm not going to mention the wonky muzzle brake.... I assume the barrel isn't fitted permanently yet. Oh dear, I mentioned the muzzle brake!

 

Reargaurds,

Yeah, the Zimmerit. Got the Eduard Etch because it was cheap, and it looks like you said. But it fit the Tiger mantlet fantastic. The Tamiya stuff I ordered for another Tiger. That looks more like the real thing though.

 

This one here is very nice indeed.
