johnny akes Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I've still got to add the figures but as I'm pretty hopeless at painting them I thought I'd show this without them. Added my own zimmerit, which really isn't neat enough given that it was originally applied in the factory. Regards J A 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Good model, like the camo. Personally I would remove the green from tracks. In my opinion it not blend with this nice model. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill.B Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 The Zimmerit looks pretty spot on to me, but I would replace the wire aerial with an Aber product. Their aerials are not too expensive and machined from brass with the correct taper etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaubar Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Love it. I am with Jim, I do like the green stuff, makes it kind of lively. Dio planned? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I love the color of the camo, very well achieved for my taste, the zimm is not appreciated in the photos, but it does not seem to be bad, tow cables are very real (Eureka maybe?), and the kit is tamiya ?. The green is something personal, but I do not see it so bad, this vehicle, served in front of the West ?, and being a tank destroyer, should not be hidden and camouflaged? ... I personally like it, but if I did not have it, I would like it ... cheers mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I know more about neurosurgery than I do about WW2 German armour, but to me that looks great, greenery and all. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny akes Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Thanks for the constructive responses everyone, all really appreciated. I wasn't sure about the greenery either but as Kursk was fought in open country I hoped it would kind of reflect that. A diorama or a base might follow, but just now I'm too into building the kits than to spend time on settings. I might get round to it one day... I agree the aerial is too spindly but as I don't go for A/M as a rule I will replace it with a bit of suitably tapered stretched sprue. The cables are real, after a fashion - they are made from thin wire cable I found while browsing in B&Q (passes the time while the wife is buying up the Garden Department), and at 2 metres for about £10 or so there's enough for a fair few AFVs yet. The tow cable loops are the kit items and they match the braiding of the cable almost exactly. Oh, and by the way I know it is an Sd.Kfz.184 - I've no idea where the extra '0' in the title came from!

Buzby061 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Like it, the Zimmerit looks far better than my half a**ed attempt. pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
