Thanks Mike, I thought these images, for discussion purposes only, seemed a reasonable representation of the kit effort, like you said, bit iffy, what do you reckon? Your eye for detail is better than mine.:thumb2: here's the kit one again also.(bottom one)[ATTACH]321717[/ATTACH][ATTACH]321716[/ATTACH]

And do you reckon this could be the other two? Cheers

Yep, I think you have found them, this bit of scrathery should keep you busy for a couple of hours - correcting the work, by the time you have finished you might just as well scratch. Mike.

It looks to me like those are the radios that Tamiya tried to represent, yes.

Thanks Jakko, I reckon so too now , again thanks for taking time to look.:thumb2:

As for scratchery for a couple of hours..lol, more like weeks:upside:
Bit of delay now on some of the build as making molds of the engine, gearbox and fan.
Just a couple of photos of the progress so far. Mostly dry fitted.

Did the Tamiya one in 1 48 a while back. A terrific subject to work on. Looks like you are off and running well. I will pull up a chair to see how the rest of the build goes.

Hi, Steve welcome, did you do it as Grief or something else, any pics?

[Steve Jones]

I did it as Rommels Greif. Sadly everything got lost when we moved over from MM. This was rather annoying as I did a lot of research on the radio sets which would have been handy for you. As for the the finished colour I did it Panzergrau with a sand/mud slurry mix on top.

Thank Steve, annoying for you loseing you stuff, thanks for input though.:thumb2:

Brad, If by chance you have this sitting in your stash, it has two of the larger radios in the kit.

FOR DISCUSSION ONLY.

If you can hold off for about a week, I can mould them for you.
Cheers,

Purists should note that that’s not accurate for Greif (note spelling — not you, Steve ). Tamiya’s figures are based on a series of photos of the real thing, like this one:



You can clearly see that the name goes over the camouflage pattern, and nobody would paint over mud camo. Instead, this indicates the vehicle is painted according to regulations, namely either RAL 8000 Grünbraun (green-brown) with about one-third covered in soft-edged blotches of RAL 7008 Khakigrau (khaki grey), or RAL 8020 Gelbbraun (yellow-brown) with similar blotches of RAL 7027 Sandgrau (sand grey). The former applied until April 1942, the latter from then; I’m not sure when the above photo was taken, but I would guess the vehicle is in Gelbbraun/Sandgrau — with a heavy layer of dust over all of it, of course.

Jakko,
Many thanks for the correction on the spelling, I can put my mistake down to old age, lack of research and far too much J Daniels :tongue-out3:. Mike.

Jakko,
I'm same as Mike with spelling but mines not due to liquids, however age does creep in somewhere.., but on a part serious note , could you be aware that some of us have certain difficulties in certain areas , cheers anyway for the input and info on subjects posted , always interesting.:thumb2:
