A little testors putty for mud and dirt.




I then used table salt to start the weathering prosses.


Once the salt was removed I used that same sand color thined 50/10 and washed the full tank.

Your figure skills are amazing. The munitionsschlepper is quite impressive. I recently begun using the hairspray technique, but may give salt a try. I'll have to try the putty for mud and dirt trick. Any particular front?

Wow great job, I have a soft spot for the Panzer 1 and its varients and think that yours is very nice. Like the bullet holes.

Tristar have recently released a Munitionsschlepper and I really want to add one to my collection.

You have two Flak Panzer 1's to choose from Tristar and Dragon, I have the Dragon one but plan to use the interior from a Tristar or even purchase another Aber internal kit.

Lion Roar do a really comprehensive upgrade for the Flakpanzer

Oh one last thing, the Flak Panzer 1 was based on the Panzer 1a not 1b and the range of the dio would be Feb 1941 - May 1943

Thanks for the heads up on the Flakpanzer 1A info. I'm going to ge with the DML but first I'm going to look over that Tristar kit before I buy any thing.

Oh and that figure is only the 3rd one I have has success with. I'm still learning how to paint them better.
An thanks again for looking in. If any one need to see more photos', let me know from wich angels or parts..

You can pick up a cheap Tristar Panzer 1a Kit for £6 over here you can use it for parts as the Dragon Interior is dreadful. As a bonus it comes with an engine !!!!!

Not as accurate as the Aber kits but about a 1000% cheaper
