Tamiya 1/48 Sd.Kfz.232 winter camo ( new photos )

[Alan 45]

this is the first time I have tried to do a winter camo with any conviction I might add


I think it looks ok for a first attempt but I'm open to advice on improvement


The kit itself is very good and very easy I put this together yesterday afternoon and had the main paint on it by early evening ( doing scruffy paint jobs lessens the time )


Anyway here it is View attachment 116091

Nowt wrong with that in my eyes.

Blimey you certainly are very prolific Alan in producing stunning models overnight.


Very authentic a nice deep frost coating. Like the way you have retained the slightly


rusted touch around the areas which produce heat and the vertical areas without a


frost coating.

That looks "The dog`s Nuts" Alan.

Looks very good to me Alan.


But then again I build mostly aircraft

Cheers guys I appreciate the great comments


I an going to add a bit to it there are a few places that need a bit of definition not a great deal just enough to give it a bit of depth

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice work Alan. Speedy too, wow.

 

[dougie]

very very nice - especially for something 'thrown together overnight' o_O

 

[Polux]

That's a very good winter camo Alan!!


I love it


If you are looking to add some depth, you can apply a dark green/grey filter at the model. Works very good! I always do it in my models

 

[monica]

do like this one,looks how it should in my eyes,

 

[Steve Brodie]

Very nice work.

Cheers guys and gal I appreciate it


It was difficult to do a slow job on this as there's not to many parts and it goes together well , the painting was easy as I used humbrol and revel acrylics so they dried quickly and I didn't have to worry about a smooth finish as I wanted some rough areas , the scuff and fade was just a dry brush so that dries emediatly , then it's just some detail to finish off


While I was talking to Simon about this as I wanted his Input on what I'd done already he sent me this pic View attachment 116179

we were both surprised on how close my build was and it gave me some ideas on how to carry on

What an odd looking beast. Great model though. Weathering looks great.

This is what I've done on one side , View attachment 116180

this is the untouched side as to give it a perspective View attachment 116181

 

[monica]

very good copy of the pic you used,nicely done,

 

[geegad]

cant see anything wrong they put it on rough when they did it so i think it looks spot on

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers folks I appreciate that


I have now finished it but Im making a simple base for it so I'll add the photo once that's complete , I knew I'd add more to this build but it's very rare for me to do a practice that comes off well enough to complete :D
