I thought you might


For me the figures were not very detailed they had no crisp lines and showed their age this kit is about 40 years old and although the tank is very good the figures are not , tamiya have just released some much better DAK figures with much better detail , they're the ones I used for my hanomag dio and they are roughly in the same poses

this is a great little kit considering how old it is, i did it not long ago and really enjoyed it

thank you again lol,


I will have a look into them,

[monica]

ta Paul,so glad that its a nice little kit,


I,m enjoying it so far,

[monica]

I do forget who made a jig to hold the hulls of tanks,but I did make one


today and what a great idea it is for painting,fitting wheels and so on,


so who ever it was what a great idea you had,


well have started on the lower hull,have it mostly done,a cobo of panzer gray and desert yellow,with some worm bits on it,


started the wheels,and will put on in the morning before I,have to go out all day ,boo said face,

[PaulTRose]

ive always used a nut glued in the hull then a bit of threaded rod through a hole to make a 'handle'

[monica]

its a great idea to use Paul,just makes it so much easier to do things ,


you know it took me over 1hr to find a bolt and 3 nuts,must go down the hardware shop and get a few more,

Nice start Monica I'm going to watch this

[Guest]

Got one of these in grey primer so I'll be watching for hints and tips if you don't mind

[monica]

ta Ian,Roger,so glad that you both like it so far,


the easy part done,


well ready for the top coats of gray and yellow,followed by some chipping,


to show the gray under the yellow,top coat,with wear from the sand ,taking it back to base coat /steel in some places

Got one of these in grey primer so I'll be watching for hints and tips if you don't mind

well Roger,I do hope that I,can be of some help,


what my plan is to do it in Panzer gray,then top with desert yellow,then the fun part of weathering ,then add the


final bits and bobs before last filler coats,well that's the plan,

[monica]

ta Scott,is a very quick simple build,real only adays work,


the trick is with the painting of i,the wheels a little tricky,and real


hope that my idea to show a few different ,shads on it works,
