MIKE_HUSKY Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi guys, after a long pause I returned to modelling and I started a new easy project, an Afrika Korps' Kubelwagen. I'm using the Tamiya's kit no. 238 in 1/35 scale and the Eduard's set no.35355 and I'm adding some little details in scratch. The wheels, the seats and the instrument panel are in posizion but don't glue. I hope you like it. Bye Mike 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKE_HUSKY Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 I guys, new painting step. The base colour Dak. I used the Gunze H79 to reproduce the brown Ral 8020 Dak base colour, with some tiny layers because I don't want cover totally the black base. Now I'm going to start with weathering phase. bye 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combat Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Gorgeous pictures, model is looking great. I find those Gunze paints soooooo toxic, they knock me out, so I only use Tamiya and Vallejo now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKE_HUSKY Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi Combat, thanks for your comment. Which symptom do you found using gunze colours? I think that Gunze and Tamiya are the same. Mike Thank you so much, robw_uk mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combat Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Yep sorry for the late reply, you are right, my mistake, I was thinking of the Mr Hobby one's (the Gunze rack and the Mr Hobby rack are right next to each other in my local Hobby store) - they spray really well, even better than Tamiy IMO, but give me a headache, I use IPA with my Tamiya which is a bit toxic too, so I go out of the room, even though I have a filter and ventilator. I am so glad I can use Vallejo for my figures and paint them slowly. Paints aside - your pictures are so crisp and that was one of my favourite kits all those years back, I still have one box of the other version - not the desert wheels with the engine and the mechanic too.

MIKE_HUSKY Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thanks Southpier. After many months without modeling it is not easy to start, so I decided to built a easy kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE_HUSKY Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Hi combat, some time ago I had the same problem, probably is the thinner, I solve the problem with a mask with air filter, open window (also in winter) and airbrush session no more an hour. I like the Vallejo paints , I use them for to paint the details on the kit and for the figures. I'm going to built a little base for the Kubel and I think to add one or two figures from Alpine Miniatures. I will put the photos in progress. This kit it's very easy to build and with an pe set becomes very interesting. I found a bit of photos, if you think are useful I send through wetransfer. Have a nice weekend.
