Thank you for your welcome Chris , It's really nice ! For languages, the main thing is to be understood is not it? !! me personally I am a nozzle in English and I assume it! We can not have all the qualities either! Glad to know you !

Hello Dan! I just went through the 18 pages of your subject and I say: "I love your job." I am impressed and voiceless by so many details that equip a model of this small size! "respect" to you Dan !!! Regards Gérald

thank you very much for this info Das Abteilung

The reference is 6299 ! This is my first tentative with welding! Thanks again for the compliment my friend

Good evening everyone . Having dropped my hard drive as advertised on another forum , a few days ago , i will put the few photos that I have with my SD card and the possible explanations that I have left I'm sorry and confused. First, I degreased all parts alcohol 90 °! After 24 hours of complete drying, I spent on all my subsets the Dunkelgelb RC060! Once done, I represented the camouflage in two steps! I wanted to represent a worn painting by time First pass with RC049! Then in the second pass, I spent the RC054 to fade this green too flashy! Here is the result in pictures where I am! Otherwise here is a good part of aging made with different AK products and Abteilung oils to get where I am! I'm sorry I can not develop aging in pictures because there were a lot of steps . Good! This is where I am now . Very good evening to all . Regards Gérald

Thank you very much Robert Jan for your comment! Do you have the one from Dragon? Kind regards

Very nice work on the Chieftain !!! Congratulations !

Mike for your welcome !!

Hello Properjob56 and welcome to us ! The advantage of our hobby is that there are no ages! I'm happy to see people like you taking over the model. It's also true that models are becoming more and more elaborate. The techniques of painting and aging ditto. as they say at home "The world did not become one day " ! The main thing is to make pleasure above all and be happy with the work you have done on your model. . I wish you good editing in the future and a lot of fun

Hello everyone So for reference, I would take the Panther D # 433 of the Panzer Abteilung 51 Kursk 1943 for some details! But in the end it will be the 445 of the Grobdeutschland which was in Karachev also in 1943! My reference photos are not many but I would do it with! For the beginnings of this montage, I started with the foundry effect that remains subtle on the Panther compare to heavy tanks as for the Jagtiger! I removed the little piece of plastic that simulated the hook of the maintenance of the shell loading door, by that of the kit Voyager model! Let's stay on the turret with the loading hatch to which, and seeing that it will be open, improve the closing system that will be, seeing! It will not mount immediately because it will be painted before it is glued! Front part of the Panther with the carters! For these, I wanted to make them damage like the reference photo seen from the front! Still for the casings, there are 2 reinforcements at right angles which were taken on the chassis for more solidity! The tube was not bad in its kind! It will remain to put the link chain which will itself be welded to the tube and connected to the clasp (it will remain open)! The tube supports are not welded because I have to adjust their locations! I added on the fans the hooks that allowed the holding of these with photo-cut pieces! in the next picture, we can see them! The sequel is the design of smoke spears! I can tell you, that I had a dog trouble doing them (especially the trigger cables with the means of the board)! Otherwise, to finish the turret, I made the weld seams on the rear skirt in magic sculp! here are some general pictures of my progress back! You will notice, that the two covers on the engine hatch have undergone a transformation! The original handles had been modified and those on almost all the Panther D on Kursk by handles bet outwards! Place to the tofs! The taillights! The road chair! I retrieved an old road chair from the Griffon Model (my favorite brand) to which I scoured the paint and entirely boned to refit it! The maintenance chain is the Voyager kit! Rest the handle and it will be finished! Here is the extinguisher redone and that looks a lot like the real ones of the time! For the continuation and the end of the welding, I embellished the shürzen supports supplied with the PE Voyager! And in terms of time, you really had to take it! Around 5 hours to make 14 in total! I show you the plans and you will understand better why and how! Otherwise I started making two boxes (one wooden / one steel) with plastic card that comes from the sim card holders! These will go above the extractors in the back on their supports! Here are the pictures (without the caterpillar because I'll put the one from Friul when they will be ok to answer me for my order) to give you like even a preview where I am made! There are many pieces that are set to white!

Hello Brian !! Hello to the department of Vienne

Hello John, and thank you for the welcome !! I avoid taking Google translation but when it is necessary, it is necessary ! Hello in Deux-Sèvres

Hello everyone !! I introduce myself Gerald and I live in a small town called Saint-Nazaire. I know some will know this name with its U-BOAT German submarine base. My work ? I am in aeronautics. I admire your work you have done on the forum for some time. I finally signed up with you but with apprehension because my English is really very low . So please, be lenient with me !! My favorite themes are: - The second war world: 1/35 armored (focused on Germany) / Aircraft 1/32. - The modern: Wheels / tracks 1/35 and 1/32 ( for aviation ) Thank you all for taking some of your time to read me. Looking forward to reading you !
