Hi all, here´s my just finiished entry for the Patton campaign. I started this model on Jan 1st. I know that the tools and lot´s of details aren´t for the german version, but I didn´t have those to make it more accurately, cut me some slack, would you? :-) :-) :-)
The model is AFV Club 1/35, built OOB, painted with enamels with a single accion airbrush and weathered in the same way. Unfortunately, I didn´t have any PE to replace some very fragil pieces that I broke during construction , so there will be lot of things that look kinda odd for the experts. Better pictures soon, thanks for looking




Best Regards

One more thing, I know that the decals show some silvering, I will correct that before take new and better pics.
Bye

I know that a SA airbrush does the job, but you haven´t seen mine though :-) :-)

I know I´m fast, I just can´t wait to get the kit out of the box

Thanks for your comments

That doesnt even begin to describe it. This guy is nearly finished submitting all his models for all the campaigns that arent due for another 5 months! Is there a war going on that i dont know about?

Nice model Klaus. I too like the cammo that you applied on this one and blended it in nicely with what looks like a filter.

So my final count is that you completed 4 models in about a week?

Yes mate, 4 this week....maybe next I´ll finish 2 more, then I´ll run out of kits, until I get some from a friend in the US in 3 weeks or so.....no war yet, hopefully, but I don´t know what will happen in 6 more months with that guy running for president in Peru.......
Got to admit that my girlfriend has helped me with some of the painting, because I´m still with the cast in my leg....I just love her :-) :-)

I have never seen this color scheme on a German vehicle though admittedly I am woefully unaware of much of German eqipment since leaving the Bundesrepublic in 1980. Any site have color schemes and markings for present day Modern armor? I may delve into this if I ever run out of Pattons and World War 2 stuff to keep my interest going

I guess your current injured leg has something to do with the speed you turn out your models? I hope you get well soon so you stop giving the rest of us bad conscience for being slow... :-)
However, I hate to tell you, but the tracks are to loose. Your ARV would probably throw the tracks at the first turn.

Here is a good picture from Prime Portal which shows how the tracs should be.

Cheers

Da**, well, tanks for the advice Erick, but I guess it´s too late now to fix...... maybe I´ll move the arm to the fold position and just park the blo**y thing .

Cheers

PD: Thanks for the kind words, and I guess Gunnie will be the next one that will finish....hehe
