Hi All
Some of you will know I built this along side the badly titled Tatra thingy ,the little resin Tatra being so small hardly seemed worth firing up the airbrush, but as the colour call out with this was panzer grey seemed a good excuse to crack open the box.
The kit its self wasn't much more than two hull halfs two small sprues and some tinted windows ,snap fit dropped together no probs zero flash minimal mould lines.
Mig black one shot primer thinned close to or there abouts fifty fifty with mr color aqueous thinner laid on in two or three coats ,by that I go around once then just go around again finally just blow in any areas that look a bit iffy, I dont stop between coats just carry on going till I'm happy. The grays were from the little four bottle mig panzer gray modulation set these were once again thinned with mr hobby aqueous thinner forty paint sixty thinner used in dark to light coats just put down as I saw it if that makes sense ,once again the only time between coats was what time it took to flush through the airbrush.
I'm never sure about a coat of kleer or varnish prior to weathering etc ,this time I opted not to , the driffrent tones on the panels has been done with mig filters of diffrent colours and thinned to diffrent opaceties with bolts bits and knobs picked out in various grays . I've worked my way down one side and started mucking about with the rear panel as is usual with me run first walk later the decals were a after thought but I'm sure they'll blend in.
Thanks for looking in hope you've read the above all comments and criticisms welcome Dave.
