Saturday Went to town painting and weathering my current Panzers, still have some chipping and other weathering to add since I got a whole bunch of stuff from AK to mess around with...Vehicles working on are Marder III.M, Panther Ausf.A Early and Panther Ausf. A Late. Enjoy the Pictures and add feedback!!! always looking for new tips and advice!!!

After looking at the pictures of the Panther A early version I might attempt to make a winter version out of it... I purchased absolute Chipping from AK which is basically used the same way as the "hairspray technique". Since I never tried this technique before and I already have another Panther... I will give it a try. I will give 2-3 coats of absolute chipping sprayed with airbrush then hit the Panther with 2 light coats of Tamiya flat white, then heavily chip the paint exposing some of the Camo underneath. Should look good? I will then pick of some Archer Transfers of 1st SS Panzer division on eastern front.

Nice collection and superb work! I'm not sure that the Marder crew's helmets would be shined. You have some real talent! I like that the kill marks, on the barrels have more of a chalk on paint effect. How did you achieve this?

Thank You! The Helmets do look shiny from the pictures, could be the angle but will give them a hit of Flat clear to diminish any shine. As for the Kills marks on the barrel, these are from the stock decal, I scraped off some lines here and there and also a hint spray of dunkelgelb over them created this effect, Sometimes these things just happen by chance lol

Some nice camo work there for sure, great collection of panzers!

Wow! Great work and welcome to Armorama.

Cheers

Jeff

really good stuff,I love the Marder crew at work

Hi,

I have a question about the panther from panzer lehr unit (the one with the track on it) to wich brand did you buy the gun barrel, thanks in advance, otherwise it's a great job on both

Very nice work all around ..congrats!

Some very nice models. Painting and weathering look great.

Holy cow !! Nice work!

Thank you guys!!! I will post some more pictures as I added the Schurzen ( side skirt armor ) to the Panzer Lehr Panther and some more weathering to the Marder III M.

The barrel came with the 1/35 Panther A accessorie kit. Found the kit for 35$ on eBay, only other place I see it online is hobby link Japan. The kit came with track hangars, spare tracks, battle damaged parts, ammo crates etc.
