Wow! I just saw this for the first time too! You DID nail it and I love how you did a step-by-step for us camo inflected wanna-bes (like me) and after seeing this I want to get a ZBD 04 too and break in my airbrush/paint booth on it!!

Tell me Dylan, would you have been spared the touch-ups if you had added a thin coat of clear on the tape before applying the paint? I used to paint Lexan racing bodies and paint seepage was a problem unless this was done.

Anyway ... I can't believe I am just now seeing this but WOW, is it ever so cool looking and a very nice job as well!

thanks Jeff

the paint bleed is mostly due to me mixing the paint too thin. there is 4 colours to the scheme so adding another layer between coats might make it pretty thick

I used a mix of tamiya and vallejo paints

thanks again guys

Nice work on the digi camo. I was on the fence about getting this kit but looking at your I think I'll grab one soon.

Dylan,
This thing turned out Great!

I've got to dig mine out when I finish up the Stug E100 taking up all the bench space right now.

A friend on another site is resurrecting his build as well and I might even press on to my 04 right after.

Great job and thanks for the motivation

Hi Dylan !

Great work !

It really inspiring me and now I’m thinking about to buy the new “Snow Leopard” and paint it in digital camo scheme.

Witch colors did you use ?

Cheers !
