My Tamiya 1/48 Hetzer: Finished the yellow and red-brown about to spray the green.

Cutting the masks was a pain (making all the little scalloped edges for the typical ambush camo scheme).







Comments welcome.

Neo,
Looking good so far.
The scheme you're doing is my favorite as well as your subject - the Hetzer.
Here's the Bandai kit that I did in 1977. Won a third place with it at the IPMS Nationals in San Francisco that year.






Only had a few photos from AFV-G2 back then for reference. When I saw the article I was hooked. I used an airbrush and freehanded my scheme.

I have the new Tamiya kit. Will be anxious to see more of your progress. I'm just back into building again now for about a year and this kit is going to be one of my next armor builds. Keep posting as you go. Looking great so far. I like your scalloped masking.
Best regards,
Gary

looking great but i cant stand the suspense,,,,,,come on tear the tape off already heh,, im terrible at masking and painting i cant even wait long enought for it to get tacky lol i have to paint it then run away fast and find something else to do.

Gary,

Your Hetzer looks great, hope mine looks that good when I'm finished. I know what you mean, I love the look of the ambush style too.


Ron,
Last coat of paint is on, just waiting for it to dry some. I can't wait to peel it off - I should go mow the lawn - LOL.

More pis'c tonight. Thanks for the feedback.

Neo,
It's been raining here is KC & it's to wet to mow. :-)
So much to wifeys dismay I've been working a couple of Airfix 1/32 figures and trying my luck with pouring a latex rubber mold of a couple of USMC EGAs.

Can't wait to see your new pics.
What do you think of the Tamiya kit.
Was the metal hull diffficult to attach the suspnsion to?
As I stated before, the scalloped scheme you're doing looks like a real winner.
