It's been a while since my last post, but i feel it has been worth the wait. Recently completed is my 1/35 Tamiya Jagdpanther Late Version. with vinyl treads. The overall build was good except for some filler when joining the two halves together, both front & rear. All paints are acrylic unless stated. I undercoated with Tamiya, brown XF9, gave it a light salting and finished the camouflage with Tamiya XF60, XF61 and XF 64. Next I removed the salt to reveal some light rusting and did an all over with an oil wash of Burnt Siena.
A first for me so I was a bit apprehensive, I added some weathering in the form of mud. For this I added back yard dirt (it's summer here and I could scrape it quite fine) mixed with water and white glue. I thought it turned out ok, but tell me what you think. I added some further rust trails and finished with sone Vallejo Carbon Black dusting. finally finished with a clear flat coat to keep everything from rubbing off. I also added the soldier, but I recon I've buggered up the eyes. He looks pretty agro.
Aftermarket used - voyager barrel, aber photo etch grills and cleaning rod tube
