Just finished all the airbrushing, here's my Jagdpanzer 38t finally in paint. This is the raw paint, now to start washes and weathering....

Superb work, Matt. Vallejo paint, I assume? Stenciled Balkenkreuze?

Wow... How well do you think that would work in 1/48?

Jeremy, I'd estimate that this paint job took me 25 - 30 hours of work. Even though I had done test shots, it took a lot of concentration, patience, and retouching. I was working with stencils smaller than a postage stamp with a .2 airbrush.
All I can say is if you try this in 1/48, I won't be held liable for your therapy bills!
I'm sure it can be done, though.

Hi Bill, thanks!
I used 71025 Panzer Dark Yellow, 71041 Tank Brown, and 71096 Panzer Olive Green. I think next time I might try 71007 Olive Green.

Good reason to hold off for now then I'd say

I agree with Iain - the Tank Brown looks great. I mean it all looks great, but the colors just look spot on. Is this one going to AMPS?

Thanks Iain! I appreciate it.

Yes Bill, this will be at AMPS. It's going to Mosquitocon before that, though. Are you going to that one?
