Geo1966 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Re the Fire extingishers, i asked the same question. Das Abteilung replied with the below: On 10/1/2020 at 7:00 PM, Das Abteilung said: WW2 US and British ones were generally the tank colour of the day: OD for US and KG3/SCC2/SCC15 for UK. Except for the early war British Pyrene type which were bare brass more often than not. White stencilled markings on a black background. US extinguishers on UK Lend-Lease vehicles might or might not have been repainted. German, as noted, Panzergrau or Dunkelgelb. Russian, no idea but most likely 4BO. Post-war British extinguishers remain green to this day, initially Deep Bronze Green now a sort of NATO green. In the days of shiny post-war tanks I believe the US used red b ut n ow uses the current OD. George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 So a bit more progress in the turret area, More weathering. Once the basics are done then it will get a nice dark brown oil wash. More later chaps 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Very nice work Dan, I'm sure I'd knock that traverse(?) wheel off before the turret got assembled and fitted Stay safe Roger 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3talpig Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Looking good ....like the metalizing on the hand wheels and the chipping and wear on the interior.....starting to come together now ...curious what markings you are doing for the exterior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Cheers Chaps Not sure yet on the markings for this one, I do have some Archer D-Day shipping stencils so I would presume they might be okay. They are for Sherman tanks though. Regards Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Well up to your usual standard Dan, will you be adding any data plates or stencils to the mechanicals inside the turret to break up the OD background ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Just caught back up with this Dan all looking great on the model front hope your feeling better now it looks like it Take care and Stay Safe beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Cheers for the feedback guys, all appreciated The kit decals are fine, you get the normal mix of stars and couple of Vehicle reg numbers but I wanted to add a bit more so the shipping stencils look to be another little add on. As for the interior I'll be adding a few little bits to break it all up a bit more. I have some Verlinden stencils somewhere which I think should be okay to use. The other turret side coming along. Cheers Dan 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Just spent an hour or two painting up the gun cleaning rods. Also painted up the exhaust, black and hull red, its had some chipping fluid added so a nice base of OD next. It forms part of my weathering plan, if it works then happy days And you don't really see it Cheers for looking in chaps Dan 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06/24 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 When I saw the gun rods on Flickr, I thought you had soldered them from copper tube. Took me several minutes to realise they were painted plastic, superb! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always the smaller items that take the longest to build/paint. But they turned out really good, even it they are hiding away now.

Jasper dog Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Your detail paintwork really is smashing Dan, I assume it has nothing to do with delaying starting those Tasca tracks.... Great work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hi Dan your weathering plan will work fine mate I took a similar approach with the Marder build and I think it worked a treat 🙂👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Cheers Guys, Slowely plodding along at a snails pace, a bit more work done over the last few days. Concentrating on the exhaust, I have used several layers of chipping fluid and multiple colours with this part. It looks okay but I think it needs more rust. And lets get bombed up, ammo time. Tamiya Gloss black lacquer base with Mig Ammo brass. Enjoy Dan 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Nice work Dan, I agree more rust required for the exhaust and those shells WOW they look awesome 👌 👏 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
