David Mooney 1,335 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hello all, Ive been working on this for a while between projects as it took a fair amount of time to get the 'snow-flage' right, I think I got there in the end. I have recently swapped paint to Mr Colour lacquer's, I must admit I was a little on edge using them, but they are fantastic to work with. Only added extras to the kit are the seat belt from eduard, as ever, its built to look right so please forgive in-accuracies' in my work or the kit. All comments are welcome.... P.S. I apologise about the white background, but I could find anything else to cover the background 22 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Hairtrigger 1,236 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Cheers Dave.... That scale certainly has presence, I'd be tempted to hang that from the ceiling in my man cave if I was you... Splendid build that really love it. Link to post Share on other sites

Good question, but id pretty much stuck with humbrol all my modelling life, I tried tamiya and a few other acrylic types but never seemed to get on with them too well. So, I heard about these new lacquer paints were better and a tougher finish.....and they was sooooo right. The finish is hard as nails and sits smooth as the kit part if you use the 400 thinners, they are highly recommended by me. Link to post Share on other sites
Telboy3510 1,066 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Excellent, I really like the colour scheme I'm tempted to try it on a 1/72 I have in my stash. Link to post Share on other sites
Buzby061 2,561 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Looks great, you've got the winter finish off to a T. It's got to be a big beastie in 1/32 scale. Pete Link to post Share on other sites

Head in the clouds. 2,566 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I have never tried that scheme and never will, but your attempt is superb and a well painted model that looks like the real deal. Link to post Share on other sites

Jasper dog 6,227 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Tremendous work, great build, winter camo looks spot on to me. Very tempted by something 1/32 and this isn't helping my restraint! Link to post Share on other sites

I said exactly the same thing, but sometimes getting out of the comfort zone and trying something new.....is good for your skill development or the recycling bin depenant on how it turn out of course 1 Link to post Share on other sites
