Armourfast Stug 111's

[Rodders]

Hi All,

I seem to have a hankering to do some 1/72 armour, and have bought a couple of 1/72 scale Dragon tanks at Telford. The T34 and Tiger 1. Plus, i have a Sherman Firefly and Challenger with dozer blade.

Basically, i want to try to start small with photo etch as well.

But first i've made up a couple of Armourfast's Stug 3,s and painted them in Panzer Grey all over as a sort of pre shade coat and a way to paint the wheels. Could anyone give ideas on where to go next, I was thinking of just doing them Dunkelgelb starting off in the centre of panels adding successive lighter yellow coats on top.

Could any of the armour modellers offer any advice. I would be grateful, or where i could get some tutorials.

Thanks,

Rodders.

Hi

Me again :evillaugh:

Here's a few pointers for ya. I tkae it your using an airbrush ?. If you are brush painting it will be near as impossible IMO to get the finish I think your after.

Otherwise - yes start from the panel centre with a base colour, then give an overall thin coat to blend. Then add a lighter shade of the base coat to the horizontal surfaces.

Colour Modulaton is a fairly new technique
