It ain't rubbish Jim......if I use out of the bottle Panzer Grey on a 1/87 scale vehicle it looks Black when dry. Monogram did a scale color ref. book years ago on how the colors should be lightened in scale to represent a given distance from which the subject is viewed.
I have used this ref. as a guide for nearly 30 years.........very satisfied with the results. Rick H.

Rick, could you expand on that? I've found it to be true in our scale, don't know about larger. PaulE

Here is a page I saved for reference...........If Scottie does not mind.[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1139913[/ATTACH]

Nice start Paul. :smiling3:

Many thanks for that it makes very interesting reading I will have to have a play. This is what I love about this forum advice and information freely given.

Hi All and a merry Christmas to you all.

Between doing all the prep and other tasks I managed a little bench time. This is certainly a fiddly kit with some very complicated build sequences and small parts, but enjoyable all the same.

Engine is now mounted as is the radiator and some of the chassis detail.


The front axle is another over complicated build, with the diff being joined to the outer parts. most other companies would have the complete axle moulded in one. Apologies still some cleaning up to do and brake line details.



The wheels are supposed to be attached at this point but will be left off until the end. The only addition to the wheels are the tyre valves.



cheers
Scottie
