Silenoz Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Looking good, idd it's a tiny one... Normally, when replacing these, panzer I tracks should do he trick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 ok, so build is done, tracks will be glued in place once painted so slightly "gappy". quite pleased with how it looks. For paining I though the pre-shading would actully be the AK Interactive olive drab modulation (or a couple of tomes from it) and then russian green over the top - think that will give a good variation. Dunkelgelb from MIrror Models (first time I will have used that)... might get primer on tomorrow 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 all primered. Mig Ammo One-Shot black - really nice and easy to use. Think I will do as I thought - preshade with olive drab modulation before applying the russian green - should give it a slightly "dirtier" green (I hope) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 and now it has gone green... modulation of olive drab then Mr Color Russian Green 1 over the top. Going to leave it to cure for a few days then I hope Saturday I can get the dunkegelb camouflage started. Dont forget, this is a russian vehicle captured and then modified. i would expect in the field paint to be basic (which is why it will be 2 tone striped dunkelgelb I think 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 dunkelgelb on the stuka assembly (used Mission Models thinned with water - ok coverage). I like the green/sand contrast so looking forwad to the cab & rear with camouflage (will mask with blu-tac to try to give slightly soft edges. Moving away from tiger stripe to more green patches with dunkelgelb pattern (no patches)... like I said, its pure WHIFfery so thinking guy in field with spare Dunkelgelb would spray it to break up the green,,,, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 flikr is undergoing post upgrade issues, photos when it is back (and hope the dunkelgelb will be on tomorrow (worried that the blu-tac will mark the green tho... will see what happens if not left on for a long time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 actually tidied up a bit with plain water and a clean brush... think as the weathering builds up it will be ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashlight Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 @robw_uk Hi Rob, this is looking good already, I think the dunkelgelb issues can be touched up easily and with the weathering you can cover this up also. Keep up the good work! Have a nice day Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put a few drops into the paint and wash the overspray off and have it still look like sprayed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
