Hi Red Five. I like you’re model but why do you say it’s not a tank? It’s a tank? It’s got a gun & tracs?

I use the Windsor & Newton Gloss. It’s v good.

https://flic.kr/p/2mmdJKp Tamiya 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 7 with Italeri Sd. Anhänger 51. Whitewash now very faded & last action engaged with a ground target.

Hi. I want to do an overall grime wash over a winter white washed half-track to make it “dirty” AND try pin washing to do some accents/depth stuff. Will it be a case of doing the overall wash first in one colour wash and then pin wash in another? Thanks

Ahh! So you did chipping fluid with the washable! I’ll give that a whizz. Thanks for all the details- really appreciate it. 👍

This looks fab. I am a brush painter so it will be all brushed on with hairspray/chipping fluid with flat white or use the washable white camo paint from AV. TBH i am struggling to get that to work (poss as its going on too thick as opposed to a/brush) as I want it to (i think) on my practice pieces so may well end up back at hairspray/chipping etc. Thanks - this looks great BTW. Am wavering between hairspray/chipping method v. washable white camo paint from AV.

Thanks for the help. J

Hi all. Just trying to get some paint and weathering sequencing straight in my head for my 1/35 add Kfz 7-1. I’ve done a Pz grey base coat and will be adding faded whitewash winter camo effect. So general washes/pin/ steaks etc AFTER whitewash THEN mud/weathering on surfaces/wheels/tracks after that? (Obvs gloss/Matt varnish as & when appropriate). Thanks

Definitely finding that slowing down & developing “patience” is the way forward- not only for a better model but also a more “mindful” experience (one of the main reasons I returned to the hobby - to do something slow,!). 👍

Thanks for that. 👍

Thanks. Makes sense. 👍

Hi. Linked to a similar recent post re interiors of half tracks etc - I am building the Sd.Kfz 7/1 - Tamiya 1/35. The paint instructions are "vague" but seem to imply a Dunkelgrau cab interior (or at least don't say it should be any other colour than the chassis etc). Do I assume rightly? Thanks J

Ahhhhh! I see! Thanks so much (although feel a bit daft now - lol). j

Hi. Can anyone who had built this kit give me some advice please? To enable the guns to move up and down, part F3 is not meant to be glued. However, once assembled and the adjoining rod added and attached using a heated screwdriver, there is nothing to stop F3 just falling out of the hole? There is not enough tension in the rod etc to keep it all together? Have I done something wrong? Have others come up with a non-glue alternative solution?

Thanks both.
