Repainted the front and redid my steps, but hopefully a bit better: (I know, the barrel needs some TLC...) some more cleanup is necessary here slight damaged steps: turret (except for barrel) complete wheels dusted: may apply some more in the thread pattern, the way I tried for this result can be found here: http://www.scaledracula.com/how-to-paint-and-weather-rubber-wheels/?fbclid=IwAR2zMFoZnkx7WLoZ2PZcJHAUptv8PP0bI3q3NqQiUdRo21wUf2toThHsXRk

MiniArt German Tank Crew at Work (35285) - 1:35 MiniArt via Creative Models
Julien posted a topic in Diorama & Accessory
German Tank Crew at Work (35285) 1:35 MiniArt via Creative Models Tanks despite looking cool demand a lot of hard work from their crews to work well. This is as true now as it was during WWII. This new set from Miniart shows a crew performing maintenance on their tank (well apart from the Officer taking a drink, so thats not changed either!). It arrives in a standard end-opening box, with three sprues of grey styrene inside plus a small sheet of PE as well as an instruction sheet and sprue guide. The painting and main construction diagrams are printed on the rear of the box, with colours called out in a large number of brands of paint for your ease. From the box you can build five figures, each having separate arms, legs head and torso, plus two caps. Three soldiers are cleaning the barrel, while a is holding some sort of tool. What appears to be an offer its taking a drink. There is a small sprue with two buckets on it, and an accessory sprue which provides various tools and tool boxes, the PE fret provides the doors for the open tool box and additional tools. The painting guide covers Vallejo, Mr. Color, LifeColor, Tamiya, Testors, AK Real Color, Humbrol, Revell, and Mission Models, with the names of the colours given in English and Ukrainian. Additional painted renditions of the accessories are also included for your use. Conclusion MiniArt's figures are excellent, and these figures can be used to give your Panzer a little human scale. Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of -
T-34/76, 1943 prod. - (1:35 Tamiya)
witjas4 replied to witjas4's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
Thank you guys for the comments. BTW I'm working now on PZ III ausf L (new Tamiya), but painting I postpone until spring. Cheers -
I would say that in the second way you comment, at least I did it in mine (same kit, but the USMC). For the land of Vietnam, I used the specifier manufactured by AK, with a reddish / orange hue. I included some color photo of the M48, maybe you will be of help if you are interested. Cheers mate

My Daughter's Airfix D-Day Diorama - with Additions
Sairou replied to Army_Air_Force's topic in Work in Progress - Armour
Been really enjoying this build, takes me back to making similar models as a child, although I had a bit less guidance. There's also a definite charm to seeing these Airfix models made, even if they are unrefined by today's standards. -

I haven’t heard anything about any problems with their Panther kit. And to be honest, I haven’t had any with this one. The fit has been excellent. I’ve just fitted the upper hull, and it is very snug. Certainly no filler required with the front and back fit. It’s finally starting to look like a tank

Photo’s of the 1st Infantry Division Museum Armor
spruecutter96 replied to Corsairfoxfouruncle's topic in Real Armour
I'm glad that no-one has ever sued the museum. In my (very) humble opinion, if parents are happy to allow their kids to clamber all over the exhibits, then they should also take responsibility for any accidents that may occur. Chris. -
Amusing Hobby Pz.Kpfw.VI Tiger (P) "Truppenübungsfahrzeug" (35A023) 1:35
DByrden replied to Mike's topic in Kits
You wrote "Only one Tiger (P) was ever built to completion". Actually, ten of them were completed. The first eight were a match for this kit; the final two had a different turret. It was one of these two that served on the Eastern Front. Its turret had a side hatch and a different roof, and its hull had extra armour, so it can't be made from this kit. David -
Are there conversions for 1/35 Norwegian and Finnish Leopard 2A4s?
Reini78 replied to Reini78's topic in Modern
Thanks, but already know that site. Nothing for Norwegian ones, for the Finnish one only a link to the already mentioned KMT piece. -
Very cool, thanks for posting!

Cannot recommend Bovington Tank Museum and the FAA Museum Yeovilton highly enough. Ian

Thanks for your comments! I`ve used Olive Drab H52 (Mr. Hobby) mixed with white and yellow. It looks slightly different in natural light.

Thank you for the kind words. Yes. They did tow something, but I have no space for it, on my shelf. So it will stand alone.

Hi @Mr Bowcat thanks for the info looks like there is an AK set so might give that a try if I can find it after your review of the MIG colours. https://ak-interactive.com/product/bundeswehr-desert-camouflage-colors/
