Hello Everyone.I am working on my Italeri Panzer IV ausf F2 and I have to know what oil filters can i used for wethering .The bace color is dunkelgelb and i chose version -10ty Pz.Division-Tunisia 1943.



Sorry for my English...i hope you understand me.

Hello Razvan:

There are a few options nowadays. You could try to use pre-made Mig Productions filters or go more "old fashion" style and get a few tubes of artist oil paints (any brand will work although personally I think Winsor & Newton has a better pigment quality) and use some mineral spirits or turpentine as thinner.
The colors I use depend on the effect desired but roughly, for that kit and the color you are using as a base ou can use:
-Raw sienna
-Raw umber
You can always combine those with small amounts of titanium white to achive some tonal varition...

Hope this helps.

Thank s Mirco You really help me.

Can I have some opinions from you?

I have a request from you.Does anyone have any color pictures with Panzer IV F2 in Tunis?

Thanks

Hello Razvan,

I think it still looks somewhat "toy-like" and lacking depth & contrast.

I'd give it some dark pin washes (for example burnt siena + a little black) in the recesses and around the raised parts. That should help give it more dimension.

Plenty of information & suggestions on this site about washing techniques if you have a dig through the archives.
