discussion Tamiya - 1/35 - Pz.Kpfw II (Polish Campaign)

[bluriusz]

Hello everyone.

Santa have been very good for me this year (not to mention my family and friends during my bd) and I had couple of kits to choose. Decided to start with the smallest and imo easiest - Panzer II.

I have already spend couple of hours, pictures below.

It's a standard kit plus Bronco tracks and custom barrel.

Really nice and smooth kit, apart from one mistake. that rounded part of lower hull, should have a bit cut out. Thinking now what to do..

Will continue work tomorrow.

Bart.

Another update

Difference between inbox barrel and barrel from ebay:

Will start painting tommorow. Only tracks left to assemble.

Stupid question.. What colour the Germans used for undercoat? Was it tank grey as well, or something else?

 

[bluriusz]

I started finishing the wee tank today. Have almost finished the turret inside. Just a quick question. How to make a weathering on those black cushions on the commanders seat or the hatch?

Pictures:

The hatch. Just need to add some scratches.

Yep! Try to do 2 dry brushes...

First a dark grey and the last one with white. Could be a possibility....

Thanks Polux.

I have finished glueing and already painted it with a camo.

It's time for a varnish and weathering tomorrow. Started the tracks today. I absolutely love them! A lot of spare plastic, but it's easy to make them Will show the effect tomorrow too.

Couple of pictures:

I've a problem.. Have lost one hook on the turret and there was no spare in the kit:/ Need to check if there are some spare in the Nashorn kit.

Cheers for watching,

Bart.

This happens to me narely every build...if its not a wing mirror its a bloody horn...yay for kits that come with extras or other kits with lost pieces.

Your panzer is comming long nicely. It has some great detail

 

[bluriusz]

Last update before finish. Not much left, just mud, dust etc.

 

[Guest]

Bart thats a sharp looking build so far,nicely weathered. I like the rust on the muffler shield and the paint chipping on the hatches ,just enough without being overdone! cheers Trey

 

[Guest]

Looking very nice Bart!

You will leave alone or will do a little dio or similar?

I wish to see it finished!

Cheers
