Alessandro_Jug Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hi all here is my newest kit on the workbench, I have several models started and not yet completed, so I decided to go on with the Italeri 1/35 scale kit. I have also some aftermarket: Model Victoria turret with interiors, Hussar Production Wheels set, Royal Model and Part PE sets. The fit of parts is not too good, some filler will be needed here and there, but the overall shape is good. So here is the starting point and some in progress pictures, the engine doors need to be sanded down, the Italeri original parts are way too thick, also almost all the hinges need to be replaced, a lot of super detailing waits for me. I decided to start from these historical pictures, as always taken from Stefano di Giusto books "Panzer in OZAK", location is somewhere in the Gorizia area, winter 1944-45, very strange thing, Italeri provide the decals for this particular subject! And here it starts... Cheers! Alessandro 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro_Jug Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Hi all, I went on with the bike, a Vulcan Zündapp K 500, she needs only some decals and then a light weathering... Hope you like it! Cheers Alessandro Edited March 10, 2022 by Alessandro_Jug 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro_Jug Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hi all and thank you for the replies. Here is the AB with the red coat and sand yellow basic colour, I made the scratches with the hairspray technique. I also weathered the bike, now she needs some scratches on the leather saddle bags.

zigster Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 This is seriously good looking Zündapp!!!👍 Yet, for your AB41 I do have question, concern: looking on your post from 31 Aug 21 - lower doors. Without looking at any references, do you think, one can open any doors with hinges going at different angles? I would say - good luck! Apply the common sense.

Alessandro_Jug Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 hi Zig, thank you for pointing out! Actually the lower hinges do have another angle.... I will fix that! Cheers Alessandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigster Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Yes, they should be parallel to the top hinge. And you're doing a great job on this kit! Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro_Jug Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Hi all, so after fixing the hinges issue, I went on with the painting and the decals, I was lucky as Italeri provided the right set for my subject, some things happen once in a lifetime! Now it's time to start the weathering process. Cheers! Alessandro 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro_Jug Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 Hi all. I started the weathering process by a selected washing and a filtering with the oil dot technique. Now I will let the whole thing to dry a lot and after that I will continue with the dry/wet mud. Cheers! Alessandro 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
