PlaStix Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Panzer II Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.GKit: Tamiya 1/35 Panzer Kampfwagen II Ausf. F/GThis is my first 1/35 AFV kit and was my fifth and final kit for the Achtung Panzer GB. It's quite a nicely detailed kit for saying how old the moulds are and the fit is pretty good. And it was cheap! It is OOB including the tank crew figure and soldiers. Paints are all Humbrol and Revell acrylics applied with hairy sticks.The WIP can be found here: http://www.britmodel...-update-180515/ I figured I needed to post these here before dawkuk posts photos of his rather superb version of this kit!! And a few on a simple base I made for it with a couple of the soldiers: And an overall view - just showing how small it is: Finally one from above: Kind regards, Stix Edited August 24, 2015 by PlaStix 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubster72 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Very nice stuff Brant! Nice smooth finish on the paint & just the right amount of weathering. The figures are excellent too! Cheers Patrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Newsome Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I like this, not only can I see the photo's (I can't see any Photobucket hosted attachments as it's too subversive for work) I really like the fact that the weathering looks just right and not overdone on as desert vehicle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Nice finish and good to see the figures being used too! I wasn't brave enough! Hi Andy. Thank you. The figures aren't too bad actually - the main problem with them is I struggle with painting them! I like this, not only can I see the photo's (I can't see any Photobucket hosted attachments as it's too subversive for work) I really like the fact that the weathering looks just right and not overdone on as desert vehicle. Hi Roger. I'm glad you are able to see the photos and thank you for your kind comments. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkuk Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Oh, that is lovely job, mate.I really like the desert scheme. The weathering's spot on - especially streaking effect. That's the job well done, PlaStix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thank you dawkuk - that is very kind of you to say. As I mentioned in my first post I decided to get this one posted before you post photos of your superb, enhanced and beautifully finished version on display here. If anyone hasn't seen dawkuk's WIP for the same kit it can be found here. It is definitely well worth a look. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2wheels Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Takes me back seeing this. It was the first ever Tamiya kit I had and my Granny bought it for me as a birthday present. Even tried making a desert base to display it, although not quite as nice as yours. Every other kit I'd ever had suddenly didn't seem quite as good! Thanks for bringing back the memories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your very kind comments and I'm pleased it brought back some memories for you. It is a really excellent little kit and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to have a first foray into 1/35 AFVs.Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
