UM 1/72 Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) Ausf. G


Recommended Posts

Typical UM little kit - not so hard to assemble, but it takes a bit more attention around tracks (I messed up a bit right front side).

 

- Painted with Gunze acrylics

- Weathering done with artistic oils and MIG pigments

 

UM decals are notorious for being brittle, and having decal film that is very very matt, and no matter how much gloss is surface underneath them, they leave silvering very visible when sealed with final semigloss or matt varnish.

 

I've decided to play with them in a bit different way - they were placed onto freshly applied Gauzy, treated with Gunze Mark Softener (green bottle), and then sealed with another coat of Gauzy. 

 

This went pretty well, and in the end no decal film is visible, as well as silvering is non-existent!

So, I could recommend this "technique" with stubborn decals, but it takes working step-by-step - Gauzy has to be freshly applied!
