Hi,

today the first fast pics of my upcoming E-100 of Trumpeter (after E-10).

I added a PE-Set from Voyager, a Jagdtiger gunbarrel from Eduard and some parts from an old Dragon Panther G Command Version and other kit-remnants; also wire, putty and a lot of work before paintings...

Basecolour and brightening (highlighting) is done (all Gunze Mr. Hobby). Now i have to take some time for masking a special hardedge-camo with micromask. It will be a new four-colour scheme in hardedge-style so there are three colours left. I hope it works.

Looking good so far, keep us posted.

Thank you guys. I will continue as fast as possible.

I liked your E-10, and this one is shaping up nicely also.

Halt uns auf den Laufenden!

Thank you Steve, i hope so.

UPDATE:

I think now you can see my idea of using two lighter tones and two darker tones of green and brown to simulate light and shadow of our typical german/european-nature without using the known and flashy shadow-spots as on the classic hardedge camouflage.

We have a darker olivegreen (RAL 6003) as visible on conifers/woods, a lighter green (close to RA 6011) found on brushes and grassland, a black-brown-tone (close to RAL 8019) found on wet fields or tree trunks (also to simulate shadow) and a light-sand-tone (close to RAL 8025) of typical dry fields and younger tree trunks.

I call my camo idea "four-colour hardedge light and shadow camouflage-pattern" or in german "vierfarbig-scharfkantige Licht- und Schattentarnung". In 1945 german army ended using the flashy RAL 7028 Dunkelgelb and because of some material and directions to me it seems plausible that they tried to change the colour (base-colour) into a green one (and not only RAL 6003). It is also known that soft-edge-camo was obsolete in late 1944/1945 as it did not work from further distances. So it is a possibility how it could have been in 1945/46. I am convinced too that the camo works without the lighter brown.

Now i have to fix some scratches (from removing the mikromask), little spray mist and lost/still missing PE-parts before doing to washings, fadings, little aging...

cammos absolutely brilliant

Thank you, i hope so.
