aurelien wolff Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 why is the tiger I F01 so often interpretated as red? both academy and Rye field interpretated it that way ,to me the doesn't really seem that red and regarding the F13 why is it rarely see red when the veteran who photographed the tank said it was red? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurelien wolff Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 F13 will not be the first one from the Gruppe Fehrmann that I'll do ,It'll be F04 with a scheme losely inspired by caraktère interpretation of the F05. Something weird about F01 is that I always thought that the code were just white outline rather than red+white outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The second photo the numerals do look like a slightly different "colour". It's not that obvious but the greyscale seems a bit darker to the surrounds to me anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurelien wolff Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 ok! Maybe this one is on the picture quality. I decided to use putty on the turret because when I started this model ,I didn't used it despite the space between the 2 hald being visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurelien wolff Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 so ,I looked at the hull of my F04 and I'll have to wash it ,then sand the academy logo under it .Not sure if I can fix the suspension ,I'll may be like david goodenough "oh ça vas! c'est du what if ,je peux le présenter comme je veux" The weird stuff inside the hull is me being dumb and putting white spirit inside it (don't ask me why I did it ,I don't know) PS: I'm french and David is this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it say about the likelihood of Telford 2021 going ahead, and are goats waterproof? 🤔😉 So Darryl having consulted the armour bible I've come across some information regarding the "Miracle Of Goat Hill " circa 1943. It seems the allies were playing sneaky tricks on the German tank battalions by re positioning road signs and sending certain Tigers in the wrong direction. Tiger 426 was one of the tanks that was actually directed into a mine field. The Tiger struck a mine which damaged the tracks and left the crew stranded with no hope of repairing the damage without some serious help. The Commander noticed a farmer in a field and asked for help and the farmer duly obliged by sending over his own battalion of goats led by "William " otherwise known as Billy. By harnessing the extra power the crew were able to repair the damage and set off for the front line. After the war William aka Billy was awarded the iron bell 🔔 for his help with the war effort however this bell was unique as the "Clacker " was coated in zimmerit giving William a bell that made a special sound. Unfortunately William was knocked down by the No 6 bus near the farm in Bullshitezen and was buried along with his special bell in a secret location. As for Telford......nope according to my book it ain't happening 🙂👍 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of which "waterproofing goats" isn't really desirable in ones search history.. Almost as bad as searching how to dispense with a male hen...wringing in this context definitely starts with "W"!

Zack Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Hi M3talpig, Good to see you back And thank you for posting the compilation of 503/123 pictures - much appreciated Unfortunately the link seems to be down. Been a tough couple of weeks lately, and thoughts are not very focused. Anyway, a comparsion of dark yellow paints for you... same set but in different light: From left to right: The Tamiya "new" Dark Yellow II XF-88 The Vallejo primer "Dunkelgelb 7028" The Tamiya "old" Dark Yellow XF-60 Hannats Xtracrylix "Dunkelgelb" XA1805 Closest to RAL 8000 is the Vallejo (#2 from left) in my eyes. Now... GT coming up Stay safe, it ain't over yet. Zack 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
