Welcome, Nicolas. This kit has raised panel lines, and I have no idea how they will enhance or detract... Some might re-scribe, but I'm going to work with it, as is.

Bruce Huxtable
Wow! Superb!

gorby
Another stunner!

Guy Rump
Excellent build and dio, figures are great. 👍

Neuling
I agree. 👍

Pietro De Angelis

What are the two beams on top good for? To flip the tank back on the right side if it flips upside down?

Jennifer Franklin
So people can still get out if it does get flipped?

I believe they were used as cranes to lift off the side sponsons to switch them out and allow better internal access for servicing etc.

It's weird the images get flipped when I upload from iPad. I re-uploaded from PC.

bearfly
@James You are right.

gorby
WOW fantastic work!

Neuling
This diorama is still better than the very good "female". Congrats!

Pietro De Angelis
Fantastic work, congrats!

Too much camo?

schlicki2
Should I start from the beginning?

gorby
Personally I'd give it a mist spray of the yellow to tone the dark ares down. Other than that it looks great to me.

Olivier
Image 12 was probably better. I believe that the olive green and the Rotbraun should not crisscross but follow parallel routes.

schlicki2
Thanks for your answers. Had a lot of problems with my airbrush. It spited around like the paint was too thick. So i decided to do thicker lines and not like on reference fotos. At the end I think it was a failure. Maybe I will try to use the new atomic paints from ammo with a new Dunkelgelb as a base. But what dunkelgelb?

Dietmar Bogatzki
Whoow nice start, Schlicki 👍

schlicki2
Started again with the atomic paint and a little flow improver. See last picture. Much better? In one hours I will start with reseda green I think.

Olivier
Sure you will achieve a very nice model in the end.

schlicki2
Don't know what I am doing wrong! Even spitting airbrush with low pressure highly diluted paint (Atomic) and with flow improver when started to applicate the first camo pattern🤮

gorby
The only things I can think of are:
Airbrush not completely clean.
Airbrush nozzle damaged.
Or airbrush moisture trap not empty.

Brings back great memories, don't forget to add some cattle.

👀 you might try coating the decals to keep them from disintegrating

Kim Harris
Ben, the decals look pretty solid but they are very faded. So much so that I can barely read them. I may have to put running numbers individually on with Railtec transfers which will be very fiddly.

Kim Harris
George, I don't have any cattle. Will sheep do? 😀

George Williams
Hi Kim, I think sheep may be a little too short to be seen.

Bob Hall
Sweet !
