Takom 1/35 hetzer early production, with Stalingrad hetzer crew, and Custom Dioramics base

Well done Mate 👍
What can you say about the Takom Kit ?

Doubtingmango
Johne,
It was an easy kit to build, and I thought it was a nice balance between a simpler Tamiya kit and a much more highly detailed Dragon kit. The kit shares some sprues with their full interior kit, so there are lots of unused, but useful pieces included. It's made from a softer plastic than I typically work with, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Overall, it was fun to build while still providing an impressive amount of detail, and the pricing is fantastic. I'm very tempted to try my first full interior kit using one of the Takom late production hetzers.

Cheers!

Thank you for the answer 👍 and that's nice to hear because I have some Kits from Takom in my Stash.

HobbyBoss painting schemes are suggestive at best, so to say...
Having them suggesting RLM66 on Luftwaffe camouflage, where the RLM75 should go...it's enough for me to look elsewhere.
Go with the other sources on the internet, I would suggest looking up more multiple sources.
And as far my RAF knowledge goes, after the Battle of Britain this camo combo was not used anymore, but I might be wrong.

PS. "Oark earth" shoudl say enoguh... 😄

Komoras, I can assume that they (HB) were guided by this: airliners.net/photo/..9-Spitfire/0843874/L

I think this one sums it up best 🙂
Both is correct, depends only which one you want to represent - pre-august 1941 or post-august 1941.
(Thus concluding, my BoB related comment is wrong) 🙂

Looks great! One nit: it was still Czechoslovakia in 1990 🙂

Oleksii
Thank you very much, i have corrected

Michael Kohl
Nice. Leaving the surface texture of the foam board for the apron makes it look quite east european indeed. Nice twist. Adding a frame would give this nice dio a bit more of a professional appearance. Just a thought.

Oleksii
Thank you, on my next diorama i would try to find a frame or make it.Do you have any advice for frames?

Michael Kohl
You can make a simple cover for your dio with veneer or plasticcard just cut to size and glued blunt. Quite a few use readymade picture frames. This is convenient. In my opinion two aspects can make it look a bit off: first if the dio is made to fit the frame and not vice versa. And second if the level of the frame is higher than the level of the dio. This can easily be avoided by putting in a higher foam board. Wooden profiles can be cut at 45° angle and fit around the foam. This allows you to fashion any size you want. I have covered irregular shapes with veneer and with simple card board that I varnished afterwards.
Have a look around here. There are plenty of excellent solutions to be found - and a few which show possible pitfalls.
Half a dozen techniques you will find at my stuff (including not so good ones 😉 ).

Guy Rump
Very nice build! 👍
