HL-10 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 This is Dragon's version of the Elephant. I added Cavalier Model Production's resin Zimmerit, wich is a joy to use! I also added an etched set to replace the mud guards. The Elephant's mud guards has the non slip texture extending to the edges of the guards and this is not usualy featured on the kit parts. I painted the model with Tamiya acrylics and weathered it with Mig pigments. The figure is made up from parts from the spares box. Thanks for looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Looks great to me. Just one question though, assuming you used Tamiya's dark yellow, the vehicle looks very heavy on the rust orange. Maybe it is just my comp or is it something you did? Whenever I used XF-60 it always had a green tinge to it, while here it looks in the red spectrum. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbuna Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Very nice....must be one of the 48 of the remaining 50 after the Battle of Kursk that were modified by the addition of a ball-mounted MG 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Very nice....must be one of the 48 of the remaining 50 after the Battle of Kursk that were modified by the addition of a ball-mounted MG 34. Were the pre-mg mounted ones called the Ferdinand? Stunning build with a good amount of grubby worn weathering. Well done. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancieT Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yes they were originally called Ferdinand, they were sent back to the factory to be upgraded with new armour, defensive machine gun and commanders cupola and were renamed Elefant.

foxy Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Great work there Peter mate. Most upgraded with hull MG were sent to Italy, so they tell me. But a very nice figure to boot, nice bit of scratching in the spares box. Edited November 15, 2012 by foxy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
