I finally gave in to temptation,and bought this kit. Amazon had it.I am thinking of a red brown,flat brown,NATO black camo,with ZOD written on the turret sides.
From The Toadman
I may add an E8 suspesion,and see about adding a 105 howitzer to this one.
Any good PE for the engine deck? I would like to replace the cooling screens on it.

Is this a 'paperpanzer', Saúl?
Greetings,Ron.
It is definitely a Paper Panzer. not really my cup of tea but I can't always decide what is sent to me for review. In this case, my son asked for it to be built. The E-100 in the Photo Review has already been sent to a new home.

Do you plan to kitbash the Monogram and Academy Pattons?

Recieved a nice letter from france today.....
The decals for my swedish strv 122 that Veerle bought for me, and that i started now.
Decals from Echelon fine details.
They look awesome and it's enough there for 6 tanks! so maybe more swedish cats to come :woohoo:
Not sure about the paint recomendations, Tamiya nato black ok, but for the greens i have found a mix that should work out good (i hope) :Hiay

Thanks Saul.
I did not think about kitbashing the two Pattons together. :hmmm I know I was gonna see if the AFV Club tracks will fit on the Monogram kit.I also have somewhere in the stash an old Lo Models plastic conversion to make an M48A2GA2. I may see if I can use the Monogram A2 to make that W. german version. :v

Well heres something you dont see very often and thats me posting up on the latest acquisitions thread,..however a little spare buckarronies from this weeks pay check allowed a little spend up
A trip to Blicks for some flow enhancer and some water oils, a pack of pipettes, and a brush ,I do like those sceptre`s they are obviously not as good as the series 7 and a lot cheaper but still are Windsor and Newton and used both for acrylics and oils and as far as Im concerned I like em.
Plus there was a 40% off sale going on there today too
Next stop was Hobby Town USA to look at the empty racks of Tamiya paints apparently end of sept should see the new batch arrive back into the shops
Also the local hobbytown may be moving nearer my house after xmas and they will be stocking Vallejo :drinks :drinks
I stumbled across the sale section and swiftly snapped up this Pz IV H for $27.50
An enjoyable day of purchasement :geek :geek :geek
OOh and a little something from Sprue Bros to come in the post which I am quite excited about

In answer to your question my hairy friend, :woohoo:
I have spent the evening testing out the flow enhancer and what a difference it made to my painting
Firstly to have to dilute it 10 parts water to 1 part Flow E`,.... the difference what noticeable straight away with initial painting,..
also it extends the drying time and you are able to blend the acrylics something I have never been able to achieve before.
so all good as far as Im concerned
yeah I read about water diluted oil paints before so I though Id give it a crack and also made a difference to me ( my major let down in figures is the cheekbone shading ) but I was able to get that good tonight plus I was able to blend that into my acrylics too if you can believe that !!!
Oils and acrylics what a concept
All in all a very happy bunny tonight !
