Alexander, I have watched your builds for some time now and I must say that they keep getting better and better. I can only imagine how huge that thing is, even in 1/72 scale.

Thanks Andrej, AJ for the feedback.

Overall length is some 30+ cm making this kit the biggest in 1/72 I've built and bigger than my display cabinet (thus the need for the plexi cover)

@Martin.
Used Vallejo Air colors.
For the base color, I used 71025 (dungelgelb) lightened with 20% 71027 (light Brown).
For the camo scheme I used 038 (cam. medium brown). I also did post shading around the frame of the gondola with the airbrush in very dilluted black.

For highlighting details several lighter and similar tones of 71025. Just to name some, 023 Hemp,028 Sand yellow.
For weathering I used artist and 502 abteilung oils.

Pretty much I followed the colors that Mig Himenez proposes in the promo video he has made for Vallejo where he demonstrates vallejo colors on a Pz II in 1/35.


That video helped me standarize the painting process and I recomend it.

P.A.
