Wolfpack Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I was going to have a day finishing my B-29, but a couple of touches to the Panther led to it being finished late last night. So taking Tamiya's kit No 35170, what's been added? The kit came with Verlinden's resin zimmerit, designed for this kit, which was either too small or too large. Added to that was an Eduard zoom set for the engine fan grills and the tow cable bracket. That was about it. I tried Lifecolor's panzer paint set on this and the paint sprayed fine, I've no complaints there. The whole thing was finished using Humbrol's superb weathering powders. So, without further ado, here's the pickies. It will have a crew member in the turret hatch when he's finished. This was an easy and enjoyable kit to build ('swat the hobbies all about innit?) and there's a potential for another late G and a couple of Jagdpanthers in the stash.

Mac the Modelling Knife Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 A thing of beauty! I love the way the paint finish has been toned down. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfpack Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 I love the way the paint finish has been toned down. I don't think the Lifecolor paints are that 'strong' colour wise. A dusting of my Normandy mix of weathering powder, toned everything down. It wasn't a designed feature as it were. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 oohhhh that is nice. and from Tamiya too (so cheaper than DML ;-))... may have to add this to my wish list.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 The recent Tamiya stuff is quite good. Not as many separate parts or slide moulding as Dragon, but they do come up cheap on evil bayevery now and again. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Nice subtle finish you have achieved. That scheme looks great in my eyes. (Note to self: Must finish more German Armour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
