Welcome to scalemates🙂 SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦💪✌️

Have decided on my next victim, so pulled this one out of the stash this morning and gave the parts a rinse to clean off the mold release agents etc. Hope to make a start on it in the next day or so once dried. Similar to the Panzer 1A that I built previously, but this one is slightly longer due to having an extra road wheel, as well as a modified rear engine deck and exhaust due to having a different engine. Haven't decided if it will be based in France or Greece yet, but definitely leaning towards the grey and brown camouflage per the box art.

Another 1/16 scale tank 👀
Count me in, James 👍

Great work so far James 👍 Following 👀

I'd recommend adding the superstructure from front to back as you can have alignment issues. You can get decals for the fire extinguisher, which are not in the kit.

Thanks guys 🙂

Really enjoying the larger 1/16 scale, and finding them much easier on the eyes to assemble.

Thanks John and yeah, that's what I did with the "A" version I built previously.

I got quite a bit more done today with both track runs mounted for a test fit. They worked out quite well in the end, being much better than the plastic links that come in the kit. Far easier to assemble as well as only took a couple of hours versus several days for the stock plastic parts. Adds a nice bit of weight to the model as well. Still need to adjust the tension a little to get them sagging properly but pretty happy with how they turned out. Started to loose the natural lighting so will leave the turret assembly and smaller detail parts for tomorrow.

James C
Finished off the assembly a little while ago. Just needs a little clean-up in a couple places before I tear it apart again to airbrush a coat of black primer on it. I'm hoping it will be a little warmer tomorrow which will help with drying times. Am also considering adding an extra link to both track runs as in hindsight the tracks look a little tight at present with 97 links.

Mr D

Highly impressive 👍

Mr D
Fantastic 👌👌
Love the paint job and subject 👍👍

Brilliant 😁👍👍

Just a note, Vallejo pastel blue is a very good match for the KA-27 interior after researching the real cockpit and experimenting with many grey blue colors from Vallejo. I would recommend Vallejo 70.901. This picture was taken to show the color on the cockpit floor. I am still waiting for the aftermarket cockpit seats before I go any further in my build.

Mr D
Brilliant 👍👍 l like Velejo paints, l purchased the big main colours box and can mix almost any colour out of them.
The white and yellow is only letdown as very low in pigment!!
I purchase AK Intense white and yellow and they .. knock it out the park.. Brilliant.
I'm building a HB at min and it's not giving me accurate paint colours! Also some areas n parts no paint colour mentioned! Good old internet to the rescue.
Good luck with it..nice project 👍👍
