BadCop Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Smuts, You've made a great start and I look forward to seeing some more progress. I've also got this one in the stash (What dont I have at least one of in there? ) and it's an impressive looking chunk of plastic. Trent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Looks good matey. Every home should have at least one Panzer I, II, III, IV and so forth. I've only got from IV onwards so far, so I'll have to do something about that eventually. That is one seriously large drive sprocket though, innit?

Nev Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 This looking really nice Every home should have at least one Panzer I, II, III, IV and so forth. I'm not a Panzer man at all (for ideological reasons), but I would like to have one of each. Maybe I should do a succession of knocked out Panzers being inspected by curious Tommies? Andy, are those tracks rubber band, link and length, or individual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuts Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Andy, are those tracks rubber band, link and length, or individual? Thanks Nev, the tracks are "Dragon's Magic tracks" separate links real easy to put together they click in place & just run some Tamiya thin or EMA job done, I'm not keen on the link & length type only used em once on a 48Th scale M10..OK in that scale but not the real armour scale. I'd love Dragon to produce a Cromwell, Crusader & Comet to this standard but at least we're going to get a new firefly from them later this year we can hope only hope they pay attention to the above three cause the Sherman's have been done to death,I'll get me l .

smuts Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi guys, added a MiG filter (blue) to the base colour fitted a tow cable from Eureka, air recognition flag & a Dragon Jerry matted down with Vallejo 520 matt... I'll let the matt coat dry overnight & start weathering over the weekend. note to self take off masking from vision blocks Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I like that Andy how did you make the flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Very nice - will look good once the weathering is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuts Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hi guys, Mish the flag was from modelflags.com got it from Armourama a right pain to settle down next time I'm gonna try one from Archer decals, they are designed to go on foil so should conform to an engine deck better weathering done with the rest on Inspection.
