I haven't tried quarter-scale in armour yet, gotta give it a go! That would be the Ausf L version I guess?\ said:Thanx much It's a Tamiya
Oh Brother! what ever happened to "artistic license?" I suppose some astronomers told Van Gogh he didn't have his constellations in " Proper alignment " when he painted "Starry, Starry, Night" Not that I would EVER even deign to put myself in any category even remotely related to such a legend. Can't we just lighten up a bit and enjoy the "visuals" of our art in 3D and try not to bog ourselves down in technicalities? Dub, you've Always been kind to my meager offerings and I DO so appreciate every ones posts , so I sincerely hope I'm not coming off as too thin skinned or harsh in any way. LOVE TO ALL!

I have to admit that I'm not convinced by the 'winter camo'.... if the setting is for late '41, plain Panzer Grey would be more appropriate - sorry to nitpick, but my rivetcounter head goes on with German armour!
Oh! Dub, you mentioned "Quarter scale"? do you mean 1/25? Model is 1/35.\ said:

Ah , well from this a previous reply in this thread, I took it to be 1/48 (quarter scale to you guys)\ said:Oh! Dub, you mentioned "Quarter scale"? do you mean 1/25? Model is 1/35.
Hello DUBBS this tank was painted in a winter whitewash for the eastern front. Tanks were panzer grey from the factory but in early winter months when fall snow began all vehicles were giving washable white to hand paint over the grey by the crews in the field. I am showing my reference to said piece. If you would also like to research it yourself ,I recommend you pull up ACHTUNGPANZER.COM/PANZER-COLORS-1934-1945.HTM. I certainly would have researched it before I referred to anyones work as being "MARKEDLY INCORRECT".View attachment 100701\ said:Ah , well from this a previous reply in this thread, I took it to be 1/48 (quarter scale to you guys)
And with regard to my other post, are we not striving to reproduce scale representations of past & present vehicles, aircraft et al?
Surely they should have a historical accurate context? If someone did a P-51D Mustang in RAF colours entitled " Battle of Britain ", would that be ok?
I'm not knocking you or your stuff, how you choose to represent something is entirely your affair. However, if it's markedly incorrect then I feel anyone should expect some form of reply highlighting that point.
Just my opinion!
Oh I'm SURE you know that the starving troops in Stalingrad were air lifted tons of condoms and black pepper while they were in desperate need of food, warm clothes and ammunition curious huh?\ said:I'm terribly sorry PATRICK maybe you can further enlighten me by directing to the tome {didn't think I knew what that was did ja?} that you published on the subject. Never too old to learn ya know :rolleyes:
