The zimm has worked out remarkably well, are you going to prove to us how the photo etch zimm can work too? Really super modelling and photography Best wishes Darryl Hi Darryl, Many thanks for your like and kind comments, much appreciated. To tell the truth, I find it easier to work with a single color than a camo...I don't know why...lol. Well, I don't know if I will, but I remember having a couple of Zimm PE sets in my stash (I think Stug IV and Panther???), from a long time ago and they look really good...

I love the colour modulation that you’ve been able to achieve on the dunkelgelb! Hi The_Lancaster, Many thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated, i'm glad you like it. I think that when there is only one color, it is very necessary to modulate it, otherwise the pattern will be very flat and boring.

The details are top notch and the weathering is prominent but not over the top. Great work again! Can't wait what's next on your workbench. Hi Maddoxx, Many thanks for your kind comments, i'm glad you like it, much appreacited mate. Lately I think about not going overboard with the effects, in an attempt to make the damage and wear as close to reality as possible, it is not easy, because personal taste is also there, looking for a balance between a flat and very real tank and /or the same with details in many places to see and with its own personality... Having a well-fed stash is a problem when choosing the next kit to undertake, hesitating, because once started, if it is not what we thought it would turn out, we have to finish it, or it will be a blank shot. . I was thinking about a Soviet vehicle, although I don't know if I will publish more, this last one is having very little feedback, I know it is not perfect, but it takes a long time to take decent photos, upload them to the host, publish the topic and have little feedback, for example Of course, it is something very personal and random, but it is a bit sad and confusing, because it makes you wonder what is wrong with the model. Cheers Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the highlights and shading of the base colour, although it's not my favourite 🤪. Emphasis on the zimmeritt line also very balanced and not overdone. And a very convincing photo in the forest Hi Tom, Many thanks for your kind comments, i'm glad you like it, much appreacited mate. When talking about favorite, do you mean the color?...in my case it would be green...of course...lol I still have another KT in my stash, with the indoor set, but I don't think I'll touch it for a long time (and it's been stored away for years...🙄).

Do you plan to put a figure in the turret? Hi Nemanja, Many thanks for your like and kind comments, i'm glad you like it, much appreacited mate. Unfortunately the little talent I have, I think was spent on the models, I am a terrible figure painter.... Cheers Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safetypin Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Great job on the build and finish! Did you have a good experience working with the Tamiya Zimmerit stickers? The zimmerit on your model looks great to me. Nico. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zimmerit on your model looks great to me. Nico. Hi Safetypin, Many thanks for your kind comments, i'm glad you like it. Well yes, Tamiya stickers are highly recommended, after all they are Tamiya, a brand that does not usually disappoint. Even more so, taking into account in my case that the kit was from the MENG brand, and it was not exact for him, but for a Tamiya kit, even so, I was able to apply them without major adjustment problems (because it was another brand and my first time with something like this). The result is quite good, and you save a lot of work with putties for example. In any case, the relief, IMHO, is a little flat, I would have liked it to be more pronounced, that way the weathering would be more attractive. There is a brand of stickers that seems really good, A-TAK I think, although I don't know if it would be easy to get. Cheers Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also reluctant to use putty and stickers seems a good alternative. I will look into the "A-TAK" brand, did not hear of that product before, thank you.

Great build and excellent painting and weathering. Nice work. John. Hi John, Many thanks for your like and kind words, i'm glad you like it, much appreciated mate, knowing also that German armor is not your favorite.😁. As they say, "better late than never"...no problem, lol. Well, if it has happened to you that you are always willing to have a few kind words with everything published, it is easy to understand how little feedback the model is receiving...😕.

FrancisGL Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 On 31/01/2024 at 13:02, Ken-l said: very nice modelling. One point. Quite possibly my ignorance, but were barrels ever finished in red oxide primer? I understood that if a replacement/ uncamouflaged barrel is featured it should be painted in a heat resistant dark gloss grey primer? Hi Ken-I, Many thanks for your kind comment, i'm glad you like it. Although I didn't really know it, you're right, I was tempted to paint it gray, but in the end I opted for the rust primer, the aesthetic aspect prevailing over the reliability, now I would have done it in gray, anyway, it's easy to fix and one day I will give these a pass in dark gray.

Although I had to make some cuts and/or touch-ups, they were not as many as I imagined at first, fortunately. Although it might be better to use the MENG ITEM if it is available at the time of making this kit, something that did not happen in my case.
