funguseater Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) OK, now have worked out how to post images ! I started this kit 20th January 2018. Very impressed so far, it's my first IBG kit. Construction is like 2 kits in 1 as it has a full interior (not much will be seen but I intend to open all the hatches I can !). Progress so far: Edited February 11, 2018 by funguseater links don't work need to delete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funguseater Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) More work, very detailed kit this. Takes a lot of thought as to when to place what items for the interior as space is tigh. I used AK real color off white for sidewalls then a Brown Mig Ammo wash. Floor light grey. Engine compartment Ammo primer. Edited February 11, 2018 by funguseater 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combat Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hello usually you need to host a picture on a site like imgur and then copy and paste the correct link option which should enable your pictures to be active. I think there are some tutorials available from the 'home' section of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcoat2966 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Cracking work there. Very nice PE work, right up my alley.......I can appreciate the in there you have. I appreciate also the staged painting you have to do. That issue is holding me up at the moment one one or two projects. Working on a paint set up to get them done. looking forward to seeing this one progress regards Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not complaining though, its far superior to Tamiya's old kit IMO. The good thing about Hobby Boss kits is what you get in the box, and the price compared others. IBG are the same (good on price). I like working with PE, easier with a decent bender of course. Photo below : Box full of those Sub Assemblies, some of which (like front fenders) will be painted before attaching to hull 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funguseater Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 More progress, now ready for the next stage. The armament / pedestal is like a kit in itself: Pre shaded Base coat applied. I used AK real colour German grey, then applied a lighter coat mixed with buff in an attempt at some modulation. Now ready for gloss clear cote: I'm going to leave a few hatches open, that's the Plan. The hull is not glued yet: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funguseater Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Thanks for the comments. I'm very impressed with this kit. It all fits together well, and plenty of PE. Just takes a bit of thought of what to Paint/assemble when! Not touching it now for a week, as I have done some more modulation with a brush and oils. Then I can seal that in with Klear before trying a blue filter, oil wash, pin wash, pigments.... The usual stages! The PE screens are ready for their German grey base coat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
